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:
