Last weekend, Seyfried ruled multiplexes opposite the equally on-fire Channing Tatum in 'Dear John,' which topped the box office, knocking 'Avatar' from the top spot. So far, the 24-year-old starlet has routinely played the good girl, but that's about to change, according to Entertainment Weekly.
After a string of roles so sweet we got a toothache, Seyfried, who starred opposite none other than Meryl Streep in the monster hit 'Mama Mia,' is about to flex her considerable acting chops in a scandalous new role. In 'Chloe,' Seyfried plays a girl hired by a woman (Julianne Moore) to seduce her husband, played by Liam Neeson.
And according to Wendy Mitchell at EW, "We're talking nudity and girl-on-girl sexytimes with Julianne Moore. But it's not some cheesy flick -- 'Chloe' is directed by Atom Egoyan, the auteur behind the great films 'Exotica' and 'The Sweet Hereafter,' among others."
By taking on supporting roles in films helmed by well-regarded directors, Seyfried seems to be consiously avoiding the "too much, too soon" curse. Good for her; she's clearly more interested in honing her talent than pursuing the sort of immediate celebrity that has stifled the careers of a number of talented young starlets. We knew when we first encountered the blonde beauty all the way back in 2004, when she played the dumb-but-lovable Karen in 'Mean Girls,' that she had much more up her sleeve.
It's refreshing to see the talented, fresh-faced actress rise to the top while maintaining her integrity (and without any silly tabloid antics). Is she heralding the return of the old-school movie star -- bringing class and poise back to the silver screen? It kind of seems that way. She's got an adaptation of Oscar Wilde's 'A Woman of No Importance' in the works, and we dare say there very well may be another kind of Oscar in her future as well.
