Amanda Seyfried: Actress, singer and superstar

First steps in career

When the girl was 11 years old, she was invited to work by a modeling agency. By the way, today the actress’s height is 159 cm. The girl quickly moved to a large modeling agency located in New York.

Already at the age of 15, the girl first starred in a series called “As the World Turns.” Amanda was much more interested in her acting career than her modeling career. That is why, at the age of seventeen, she made the final decision to complete her work as a model. At eighteen, Amanda graduates from High School. After school, Seyfried entered Fordham University.

During that period, unknown hackers stole and publicly published personal photos of Amanda and another popular actress, Emma Watson. And if the photographs of the well-known “Hermione” captured the moments of trying on a swimsuit, then the photographs of Amanda Seyfried turned out to be more candid. The published materials contained shots of the actress completely naked, as well as intimate photos of Amanda with her ex-boyfriend Justin Long.
