Amanda Seyfried Says Juggling Releases and Parenting Is 'Really Hard'

She calls this season unusually intense, with two December premieres colliding with a holiday product rollout.

Overview

  • Seyfried told Us Weekly that balancing work and motherhood right now is difficult and described herself as "a little bit bananas."
  • Her two films open weeks apart: Paul Feig’s The Housemaid on December 19 and Mona Fastvold’s The Testament of Ann Lee on Christmas Day.
  • She urged prospective viewers not to read The Housemaid book before the film to avoid spoiling its twists.
  • Alongside the movie push, her children’s brand Make It Cute is rolling out new sustainable DIY craft kits, including tiny house projects for the holidays.
  • The company was created with her childhood friends Maureen North and Anne Hoehn after Zoom catch-ups during the COVID-19 lockdown, and she says the collaboration has been a supportive lifeline.
