Amanda Seyfried recalls when Glen Powell saved her dress from ‘falling apart' at awards ceremony
Amanda Seyfried recalled the horrifying moment her dress 'started truly falling apart' at an awards ceremony and how Glen Powell helped her through it.
The Mamma Mia! star said her vintage Dior Haute Couture gown for the 2023 Critics Choice Awards gave up on her, forcing the actor into an awkward situation.
'My boobs fell out of my dress at the 2023 Critics Choice Awards,' Seyfried told People magazine. 'I was wearing this amazing vintage dress. I made my stylist dress up in it before I went just for fun.
'It was kind of sewn together and it started truly falling apart, literally falling off of me on the red carpet, and I think there were even interviews where I am saying it's breaking off.'
Seyfried did in fact speak to Access Hollywood that night about her Dior gown. 'It's old, it keeps breaking,' she said. 'It keeps ripping. I am actually not kidding, it keeps breaking.'
As one of the sleeves fell down her arm, she teased: 'I'm just going to take off my dress. It keeps ripping. It's fine. Literally it's fine. Honestly, it's old, it's beautiful!'
But as Seyfried was chatting with Twisters star Glen Powell sometime later that night, her worst fears about the dress came true. 'I was talking to Glen Powell in the corner near my table and we were joking around about something, and I lifted my arms up and my boobs were just out. My dress fell apart,' she said in the new interview.
'We both screamed, and like the gentleman he is, he covered me. He didn't look…I think. None of us were expecting that, but that dress had truly just given up.'
The night did not end too badly for Seyfried, who won the award for best actress in a limited series or movie made for TV for her portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of biotechnology company Theranos, in The Dropout.
That left the Jennifer's Body star in another bind as she needed to go up on stage to take the award.
'I ended up wearing someone else's jacket on stage. Because, well, it would've just been my boobs.'
The Mean Girls alum, who lives in upstate New York with her husband Thomas Sadoski and their two children, shared last year that her mental health was behind her moving away from Hollywood.
'I moved upstate long before I had a family. Staying here was the best decision for privacy, peace and nature. It offers a more balanced life than the city does,' she told Forbes about her farm in the Catskills.
Seyfried said that because her upstate house was a 'peaceful place to call home', it was easier for her to acclimate to 'the faster lifestyle of the city, the high-energy of press events and life on set' required for her career.
She admitted there was a 'learning curve' to living on her farm at first, specifically because she had to take care of so many different animals. However, she still finds the experience 'exhilarating' and it gives her 'so much purpose'.

Glen Powell's ex Gigi Paris finally shares bombshell reaction to Sydney Sweeney affair rumors
Glen Powell 's ex-girlfriend Gigi Paris has finally revealed her bombshell reaction to his affair rumors with Hollywood bombshell Sydney Sweeney. Gigi, 32, and Glen, 36, were involved with each other for more than three years before it emerged in April 2023 that the relationship was over. Around that time, Glen and Sydney were promoting their romantic comedy Anyone But You when they were were hit with speculation they had an on-set romance - and deliberately played into the conjecture to drum up publicity for the movie. He freely admitted afterwards that the gambit 'worked wonderfully,' as the picture was a smash hit, and he added to the New York Times: 'Sydney is very smart.' However Gigi has now shared her side of the story, recalling that she was left 'blindsided' and 'shattered' when the romance rumors hit the headlines. Her A-list ex, whom she did not name, allegedly waved away her concerns by saying: 'This is what I have to do for my job,' she claimed on the podcast Too Much. has contacted representatives for Sydney and Glen for comment. Glen Powell's ex-girlfriend Gigi Paris has finally revealed her bombshell reaction to his affair rumors with his Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney; Glen and Sydney pictured in the film Gigi said that once she was faced with Glen's argument that the situation was a professional necessity, she 'had two options.' She explained: 'I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder: 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the f***?' Or stand up for myself and say: 'No, I'm actually not okay with this, and I'm waking away.' So that's what I decided to do.' The Miami-born model insisted: 'It wasn't a way to monetize the breakup. It wasn't a way to twist the story around. I was shattered, shattered.' Gigi added: 'I just wanted respect. Especially if it's gonna be public, like don't make an a** out of me. Just don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years, talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know?' She claimed that for Glen, 'at the end of the day, it was like: 'Well, work comes first.' And if that's the case, power to you, that's your priority. I gotta walk away.' In her view, the situation was 'handled' improperly from a publicity standpoint and left her feeling 'like I was just fed to the dogs, like: "Good luck. You handle this."' Gigi decided to exit the relationship because 'I just hit a threshold of what I could take, and I was just so disappointed and that was that.' She shared that she 'flew across the world to look at him in the face and say: "I can't do this anymore," and was 'bawling' throughout the flight to Australia, where Anyone But You was predominantly filmed. Gigi also argued that Glen should have issued a public statement denying the affair and insisting that he was faithful to her. 'I know that I deserve a lot better, and I know that the bare minimum of any relationship is to have your partner's back, period,' she contended. 'Where are you when you just need to stand up and say: 'No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn't do that.' That's all that needed to be said.' She observed: 'Also it was serving them for their PR. Later on it turned out that it was all – I don't know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship.' Her feeling is that 'it was pretty obvious what was going on, and if people didn't really see what was going on, that's fine, but to me it was just like, whoa, that's pretty crazy, just to sell a movie – or not, who knows?' She said with a wan laugh: 'And I honestly hoped that they'd end up together, 'cause I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me. Hope they are in love or whatnot.' In the months after his split from Gigi, Glen said he gave Sydney 'all the credit' for using the affair rumors to fuel publicity for their picture. 'I don't have the mental capacity to pull anything like this off, but she's very smart. She's very smart,' the Hollywood Adonis remarked. 'I had such a wonderful journey with her on this thing. But in terms of actual dating and actually being together?' he added with a laugh to Business insider. He added that 'the only reason it made things harder for me to lean into that stuff was that I was going through a very real breakup amidst a promotional tour.' Glen maintained: 'I was with someone that I really loved and cared about and was trying to kind of make sense of a lot of stuff.' He noted that 'it was a lot easier for Sydney to lean into something like that because she's in a very committed and wonderful relationship and she's very happy.' At the time, Sydney, 27, was engaged to her longtime boyfriend Jonathan Davino, 41, whom she publicly confirmed her split from in May after months of breakup rumors. Sydney, who was an executive producer on Anyone But You, has stated that she 'was on every call' that involved promoting the film. 'I was in text group chats. I was probably keeping everybody over at Sony marketing and distribution awake at night because I couldn't stop with ideas.' The busty blonde bombshell dished: 'I wanted to make sure that we were actively having a conversation with the audience as we were promoting this film, because at the end of the day, they're the ones who created the entire narrative.'

Amanda Seyfried says Paramount owes me for Mean Girls merch
Amanda Seyfried says Paramount owes me for Mean Girls merch The 39-year-old actress - who played Karen Smith in the 2004 movie - loves the enduring popularity of the teen comedy but admitted she feels "a little resentful" because her fact appears on so many T-shirts Amanda Seyfried Amanda Seyfried believes Paramount owe her money for Mean Girls merchandise. The 39-year-old actress - who played Karen Smith in the 2004 movie - loves the enduring popularity of the teen comedy but admitted she feels "a little resentful" because her fact appears on so many T-shirts and she doesn't get any royalties for the use of her likeness. Asked if she has rewatched the film, she told Adam Brody for Variety's Actors on Actors series: "No. It's on often enough though. I love it. I really love seeing my face on people's T-shirts. "I'm a little resentful because Paramount still owes me some money for the likeness. Every store sells Mean Girls T-shirts with our faces. Amanda questioned if she missed out on extra revenue because she was young and "dumb" when she signed her contract for the film. She said: "Don't I [get something from that]? Is it because I was 17 and dumb? Or is it..?' " Article continues below But Amanda is always grateful when she meets fans of the film. She said: "Even the girl at TSA tells me it's her favourite movie. I'm like, 'Great! I had nothing to do with it, I was 17...'" Meanwhile, the Mamma Mia star - who has two children with husband Thomas Sadoski - thinks she is "allergic" to marijuana, though she had some enjoyable times consuming the drug with Adam. Reminiscing about visiting a beach when they filmed 'Jennifer's Body', she said: "I don't know if I could do pot again. I think I'm allergic to it. I had some bad experiences. "But I remember that being the most peaceful. That was probably the last time. I might have also gotten stoned with you at your house that I now own. "I think the only time I've enjoyed pot was with you, so thank you. You have an effect on people. Look at what's happening: You're in a hit show, and people are gasping, 'Adam Brody'." Article continues below The Nobody Wants This star quipped: "I don't think it's pot-related." Amanda agreed: "No, it's just that you make people feel at ease." Adam said: "I really appreciate that, I think because I'm pretty attuned to people's discomfort because I'm in touch with my own, so I don't think I'm a bad host in that way."

GLEN Powell's ex Gigi Paris has broken her silence on their split more than two years after their relationship ended. Actor Glen, 36, and model Gigi, 32, broke up after three years together in 2023 amid rumors of a romance between him and his Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney. 3 3 3 Speaking to Emma Klipstein on the Too Much podcast, Gigi - while not naming her ex or 27-year-old Sydney - slammed Glen for failing to put the fan speculation to bed at the time. She said: 'It was just, this is what I have to do for my job. 'I had two options. I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like, 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she okay with this? What the f***?' 'Or stand up for myself and say, 'No, I'm actually not okay with this, and I'm walking away.' So that's what I decided to do… I was shattered.' Both Glen and Sydney, who at the time was engaged to Jonathan Davino, have denied anything happened between them and actually admitted to playing on the rumors to ensure maximum publicity for the movie. Glen previously told the New York Times: 'That's people wanting what's on the screen, off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit — and it worked wonderfully.' Now Gigi has slammed her ex for refusing to deny the continuous speculation. She said: 'Where are you when you just need to stand up and say, 'No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn't do that.' 'That's all that needed to be said. And that wasn't said ... Never once. "It was serving them for their PR. Later on, it turned out that it was all, I don't know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship. Like, it was just crazy.' And she admitted at the time she hoped Glen and Sydney would end up together so her break-up wasn't for nothing. She added: 'I honestly hoped that they'd end up together, because I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me, you know? I hope they are in love or whatnot.'
