Amanda
Seyfried
played
a
mother's
role
for
the
first
time
on-screen
in
Things
Heard
&
Seen.
The
Netflix
thriller
starred
Amanda
as
a
mother
of
two
who
moves
to
a
small
rural
town
only
to
realize
her
new
home
is
hiding
a
secret
that
could
hurt
her
family.
While
talking
about
the
film
and
her
character
Amanda
revealed
that
playing
a
mother
on-screen
after
experiencing
it
in
her
real-life
enhanced
her
acting.
She
told
E!
"I've
never
played
a
mother
before
I
was
a
mother.
How's
that
Hollywood?
Thanks
a
lot.
But
it's
actually...richer.
It's
got
more
nuance
obviously.
There's
just
a
life
experience
you're
getting
on
a
daily
basis-now
twice
as
much."
For
the
unversed,
Seyfried
and
husband/
actor
Thomas
Sadoski
welcomed
their
daughter
Nina
in
2017
and
son
Thomas
in
September
2020.
A
few
months
after
giving
birth
to
her
daughter,
the
actress
had
told
E!
that
was
overjoyed
to
become
a
mother.
"Man,
I
love
being
a
mother.
I
love
my
family
so
much."
Back
in
April
2020,
Amanda's
son
Thomas
won
the
internet
after
he
crashed
his
mother's
video
interview.
The
seven-month-old
Thomas
was
handed
to
his
mother
after
crying
for
a
while.
"Say
hi.
Look
at
that
nice
man," Seyfried
had
said
to
her
son
amid
the
live
interview
with
Today.
Take
a
look:
Notably,
Amanda
was
nominated
for
the
Academy
Award
for
her
supporting
role
as
movie
star
Marion
Davies
in
Mank.
Seyfried
played
Marion
who
was
also
the
mistress
of
the
powerful
newspaper
publisher
William
Randolph
Hearst.
However,
she
lost
the
award
to
Youn
Yuh-Jung
who
received
critical
acclaim
for
her
performance
in
Minari.
