Amanda Seyfried’s latest film, Chloe—about a prostitute hired to catch a suspected philanderer—is a far cry from Mamma Mia!. In fact, the role was so racy she gave it a second thought. “When we were getting close, I got really scared and started trying to think of a way to get out of it,” she revealed while promoting the movie in New York last week. “But it was the best opportunity that had ever come up for me and the most complex character. It was clearly the riskier choice but it was also the better choice.” What appealed to her about playing the titular call girl? “I just don’t see her as an antagonist. At the beginning, she’s creepy and you don’t trust her at all. But then you start seeing some deeply human qualities, and vulnerability and depth. You see this lost girl falling in love with somebody, who doesn’t have nasty motives.”
Seyfried also dispelled rumors that a Mamma Mia! sequel is in the works (though noting that the original blockbuster failed to exhaust ABBA's early catalog—"King Kong Song," anyone?). “It’s just not going to happen," she said. "Apparently someone said I’d asked for $7.5 million. I would love $7.5 million, but I don’t think it would be right to ask for that for Mamma Mia 2.”
