Exclusive 1:1 Interview: Amanda Seyfried talks While We’re Young

By Eric Walkuski

Posted 11 years ago

In WHILE WE’RE YOUNG, Seyfried plays one half of a young, hip couple who enter the lives of an older, set-in-their-ways pair (Ben Stiller, Naomi Watts) and inject some energy into their lives. Whether or not the longterm effects of this newfound friendship are positive you’ll have to see for yourself. Seyfried’s character, Darby, is the kind of millennial-flower child you’ll often find in Brooklyn; she makes her own ice cream and owns a pet chicken, as if she’s making a farm out of her high-priced loft. Kids today…

In the below interview, Seyfriend and I talk about the similarities between her and her free-spirited character, whether or not she was an admirer of her director before this, and her relationship with her co-stars.
