In an age where celebrities project their perfect lifestyles, bodies and relationships from every social media channel possible, it’s refreshing when someone comes out and calls bullsh*t on it all.
Amanda Seyfried just became that celebrity.
In an interview with Marie Claire, the Ted 2 actress decided to talk about her mental health, in particular, her anxiety, despite her minders telling her not to break the Hollywood facade.
“Therapy is coping with life. I’ve been told not to talk about it, but [anxiety] is so very common,” she told Marie Claire.

Seyfried then went on to talk about the stigma admitting you have a mental illness incites.
“Mental health is so segregated, it sucks. You don’t necessarily have something chemically wrong with your brain to have mental health issues,” she said.
Surprisingly, Seyfried’s anxiety largely stemmed from a fear of performing in front of people, a task she said she found “paralysing”.
