Amanda Seyfried: I’m scared of getting older
Amanda Seyfried The young actress will celebrate the landmark birthday in December. While she is extremely happy with everything she has achieved so far, Amanda admits she is “scared” of getting older.
She is convinced everything can only get harder from now on because her life has been charmed so far, and the thought keeps her awake at night.
“The best thing [about turning 25] is, I’m happy,” Amanda told the October issue of the US edition of Elle magazine. “The worst is that I’m scared; the scariest thing is that I know it can’t be easy - the years to come.”
Amanda appeared in the magazine as one of Elle’s 25 women under 25. Gabourey Sidibe, Megan Fox and Lauren Conrad also shot their own covers for the issue, and spoke about how they feel about getting older.
Gabourey, who shot to fame playing a troubled teenager in movie Precious, revealed she threw a 21st birthday party when she turned 25 earlier this year because she was worried people wouldn’t think she was believable in the movie if they knew how old she actually was.
“Part of me thought it would be weird if people knew I was a grown-up playing a teenager in Precious. So I had a 21st birthday party,” Gabourey laughed. “We had drinks and went to a strip club called Shotgun Willie’s.”
Reality star Lauren Conrad loves being in her 20s because she feels like she can be completely “selfish”. She is using her youth to focus on her career and plans to figure out everything else later.
“It’s your time to be selfish; you still have freedom,” Lauren said. “I was never that girl who just wanted babies. I wanted a career before all of that.”
