AceShowbiz - Amanda Seyfried is red hot on the cover of Marie Claire U.K.'s August issue. The "In Time" actress stuns in a bright red shirt and matching lips for the cover. Meanwhile for the inside photos, the 29-year-old star sizzles in a series of ensembles including a sleek black pantsuit, red frock and red-and-white furry outfit.
Speaking in a following interview, the 29-year-old actress admits she is scared her eggs will be dying off before she has kids. "I keep feeling like my eggs are dying off," so she says. "I need to get on it...I want a child. Badly. I want to be a mother, badly. That's what I feel. I've been feeling it for like, two years. I'm not ready but nobody's ready. It changes everything... so how you can ever be ready for that?"
While Amanda has a perfect career and a happy life with her boyfriend Justin Long, she reveals that she regularly goes to therapy to cope with anxiety. "It's coping with life. I've been told to not talk about it, but [anxiety] is so very common," she tells the magazine.
"I just think, you go to your doctor about heart problems, or an eye doctor if you have an infection, you have to take care of yourself. Mental health is so segregated, it sucks," she adds. "You don't necessarily have to have something chemically wrong with your brain to have mental health issues."
Amanda's movie career started skyrocketing after playing Karen Smith in "Mean Girls", but she is afraid of being typecast due to the role. "After 'Mean Girls', I kept getting scripts for big-boobed blonde idiots. I could have so easily been Karen Smith my whole career," she reveals.
"I realized that if I really wanted to work forever I was going to have to make the right decisions. That's why I've made some tough decisions too, I've turned down some pretty big stuff," she adds. "I didn't want to be an action hero or in a f**king green suit for like, ten years, because I don't want to be miserable. I think happiness comes from being free."
