Amanda Seyfried<\/a> has revealed how stars ignored rumours about disgraced Harvey Weinstein<\/a> because of his influence.<\/p>\n

The Mamma Mia! actress admitted ‘we all needed’ him, and told how she gave Weinstein a hug when he revealed to her he had backed one of her independent films.<\/p>\n

In a Variety magazine talk with co-star Adam Brody<\/a>, she recalled inviting the jailed movie mogul to a 2013 screening of Lovelace.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘He came and was like, ‘I bought it’. I gave him the biggest hug.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The star, 39, pictured with Weinstein, added: ‘We all needed him to want our project. This was pre everyone admitting he was the way everybody knew he was… I had heard a few ‘rumours’.’<\/p>\n

Weinstein, 73, is serving 23 years for rape, and is on trial over more allegations.<\/a><\/p>\n

Seyfried and Brody\u00a0met 16 years ago on the set of the 2009 horror film Jennifer’s Body. And now they are both working on hit series: hers is Long Bright River and his is Nobody Wants This.<\/p>\n

During their chat, the 39-year-old Hollywood veteran brought up an outing with Brody where they tried a drug.<\/p>\n

Amanda Seyfried admitted stars ignored rumours about Harvey\u00a0Weinstein<\/p>\n

\"Amanda <\/p>\n

Amanda Seyfried had a chat with her longtime friend Adam Brody for Variety’s Actors On Actors issue<\/p>\n

Seyfried started the conversation by saying, ‘Did you play that video game Guitar Hero with us on the set of Jennifer’s Body?’<\/p>\n

Brody, 45, replied: ‘No. But I think you had a rental car, and we drove to a beach.’<\/p>\n

That is when Seyfried blurted out: ‘Yep. We got high,’ which Adam replied with: ‘I don’t remember that. I was too high to remember that.’<\/p>\n

Seyfried then said: ‘I don’t know if I could do pot again. I think I’m allergic to it. I had some bad experiences. But I remember that being the most peaceful. That was probably the last time. I might have also gotten stoned with you at your house that I now own.’<\/p>\n

Amanda then moved on to another topic.<\/p>\n

She said that Adam ‘has an effect on people’ and is doing so well these days with his hit show.<\/p>\n

He jumped in with the joke, ‘I don’t think it’s pot-related.’<\/p>\n

Seyfried shared, ‘It’s just that you make people feel at ease.’<\/p>\n

The two met 16 years ago on the set of the 2009 horror film Jennifer’s Body<\/p>\n

Amanda had a surprising reaction when Adam asked her about her 2004 hit move Mean Girls with Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams.<\/p>\n

She was only 17-years-old when she made the film and had to have her mother live with her off set.<\/p>\n

The star said she really loves ‘seeing my face on people’s T-shirts.’<\/p>\n

But it brought back a bad feeling: ‘I’m a little resentful because Paramount still owes me some money for the likeness.<\/p>\n

‘Every store sells Mean Girls T-shirts with our faces. Don’t I [get something from that]?<\/p>\n

‘Even the girl at TSA tells me it’s her favorite movie.’<\/p>\n

Then there was a strange change in subject: ‘Oh my God, remember when we did Lovelace, and I gave you a blow job?’<\/p>\n

Lovelace is a 2013 biographical drama film centered on pornographic actress Linda Lovelace, star of Deep Throat, a landmark 1972 film.<\/p>\n

Adam – who played Harry Reems in the movie – said, ‘An iconic blow job. The deep throat \u2014 the titular deep throat. How do you feel about that movie now?’<\/p>\n

She said she had a ‘great experience’ on that film and was happy that the film showed off her acting chops.<\/p>\n

‘I didn’t care about the reception as much as just changing the idea people had of me in the business. It’s just so easy to get pigeonholed,’ she explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amanda Seyfried has revealed how stars ignored rumours about disgraced Harvey Weinstein because of his influence.
