  "account": "Amanda Seyfried recently declined a TV show that would have required her to film numerous sex scenes, stating that she is currently uncomfortable with such roles. At a panel at the Hamptons International Film Festival, Seyfried explained that she finds the profession \"weird\" because it demands actors to portray romantic relationships with individuals they do not genuinely feel that way about. As she has grown older, the aspect of filming sex scenes has become less appealing to her. Initially, Seyfried enjoyed these scenes, describing them as \"making out with a hot person... and they're paying me.\" However, she now views them as technical and choreographed by an intimacy coordinator, an industry standard that became common after the #MeToo movement. While Seyfried is currently opposed to sexually explicit scenes, she is not entirely ruling them out for the future, as she might be in a different mindset if the opportunity presented itself in the future.",
  "summary": "At a recent panel, Amanda Seyfried said that filming romantic scenes \"used to be so fun,\" but now, she's \"not into it\" and passed on a show where she'd \"have to have sex all the time.\"",
