In a jaw-dropping interview that's gone viral, Amanda Seyfried dropped a bombshell about her role in 'The Testament of Ann Lee': "This film demanded graphic realism, so I had a prosthetic butthole," she told a visibly stunned Scott Mills. Seyfried, known for her poised performances, didn't hold back, describing the experience as "cool" and "exciting."

The film, a historical drama, follows Ann Lee, an 18th-century Englishwoman who, after losing four children, turned to faith and founded the Shakers, a Christian sect that migrated to Colonial America. Seyfried's portrayal includes intense nude scenes, which she says were meant to capture Lee's raw vulnerability. "I was pregnant and nude, yet not truly naked, and in the film's finale, I stand before a burning building wearing only a merkin. I felt utterly liberated," she shared.
Here's the twist: the prosthetic butthole is never actually visible in the film—it's hidden in darkness. When Mills pressed on why it was used, Seyfried quipped, "Just in case," with a playful nod to drawing crowds. "You can't spot my butthole in [the scene], but I swear a prosthetic butthole is there," she insisted, sparking a frenzy of online chatter.
This revelation has ignited debates about Hollywood's obsession with realism and the lengths actors go for authenticity. Fans and critics are buzzing, with many calling it the most unexpected movie secret of the year. Seyfried's candidness has turned a niche historical drama into a must-watch curiosity.
