Amanda Seyfried Sported A ‘Prosthetic Butthole’ In Testaments Of An Lee

Amanda Seyfried went all in for her new film, to the extent that she wore some interesting prosthetics for her nude scenes.

Perhaps surprisingly for a historical drama, the Mamma Mia! star has revealed she sported a “prosthetic butthole” for her title role in Mona Fastvold’s The Testament Of Ann Lee.

“This movie, it needed to be graphic,” she told Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2. “So, I had a prosthetic butthole.”

Amanda seemed to be a fan of the prosthetic, describing it as “cool” and “exciting”.

“I was pregnant and naked, but I wasn’t naked at all,” she elaborated. “At the end of the movie I’m standing in front of a burning building with just a merkin. I felt so free.”

Puzzingly, despite the prosthetic, Amanda insisted: “You cannot see my butthole in it, but I swear there is a prosthetic butthole.”

Why bother if you can’t see it? “Just in case,” she explained.

In the film, Amanda plays Ann Lee, the 18th century founding leader of the Shaker movement, who was proclaimed by her followers as the “female Christ”.

Critics have heaped praise on the “strikingly strange” movie, with many commending Amanda’s “brilliant, primal performance” in particular and questioning why it was snubbed by the likes of the Oscars.

It’s the second film we’ve had from Amanda in quick succession, after she also appeared in Paul Feig’s “garishly fun” erotic thriller The Housemaid, opposite Sydney Sweeney.

Meanwhile, the Mean Girls star has also spoken about auditioning six times for the role of Glinda in the recent Wicked films, which ultimately went to Ariana Grande.

Amanda admitted that while she wasn’t upset about not getting the role as “everything happens for a reason”, she did wish that the news had been “communicated to me in a better way”.

The Testament Of Ann Lee is in cinemas now.
