Amanda Seyfried is sharing how playing her character in the 2004 hit-teen movie, “Mean Girls,” really made her feel.
The 36-year-old actress spoke with “Marie Claire” about her role as Karen Smith, who could predict the weather in the comedy film by holding her breasts. She recalled men approaching her and ask if it was raining, which was a key scene in “Mean Girls.”
“I always felt really grossed out by that,” Seyfried said of the male response. “I was like 18 years old. It was just gross.”

They think their whole world has changed. It can get stressful. I’ve seen it happen to my peers. So, I bought a farm. I was like, let’s go in the opposite way.”
The actress currently stars in “The Dropout,” which is Hulu’s drama miniseries with a star-studded cast. Seyfried stars alongside Naveen Andrews, William H. Macy, Dylan Minnette and Kate McKinnon.

“Fame is weird,” she said. “I’ve never been super famous. I’ve always been somewhat recognizable. It’s been the healthiest trajectory. [It’s] not a scary spike. I have my priorities. I know who I am. I know where I’m going. I know what it means. It means that I’m getting to do what I love.
“I’m actually not afraid of it now.”
