For our March issue, Amanda Seyfried sat down with writer Jada Yuan to talk about everything from making movies to making babies, and of course, a little chat about boys (and by ‘boys,’ we mean Justin Timberlake).


GLAMOUR: [After you broke up with Dom] You were mostly dating noncelebs. Was that hard?

AMANDA SEYFRIED: You learn very quickly what people are so enamored with, and it’s not necessarily me.

GLAMOUR: It’s just the fame?

AMANDA SEYFRIED: I think it’s all the ******** of the idea of someone who’s famous, which seems more exotic than the fact. You have to be careful whom you date, but I had a great time this summer.

GLAMOUR: Are you going through the, how shall I say, “twenties ****” phase? [Laughs.]

AMANDA SEYFRIED: No! I’m terrified of being promiscuous. I don’t like the feeling you get when it’s not something that you truly want to do, and I hate the emotional abuse you give yourself afterward. It’s just uncomfortable when you’re with somebody and you’re like, “I don’t really know if I’m even comfortable with this. Why did I? Eww!” I think dating can come without sex.

GLAMOUR: You are blowing some minds right now.

AMANDA SEYFRIED: I think that’s a really fun way to do it. Right now I’m happy to not have someone’s naked body around me. Except for my dog’s. [Laughs.]


GLAMOUR: You have said you would never date your In Time costar Justin Timberlake. Why’s that?

AMANDA SEYFRIED: Oh, I think any female that meets him at first is like, “I want to date you.” He’s awesome. He’s really funny, smart and talented. He's so perfect. Once you get to know him, he’s a good pal too. He’ll tell you what he really feels. But, you know, he’s really famous, which has its downsides.

GLAMOUR: Have you been thinking at all about kids?

AMANDA SEYFRIED: Oh yeah, I think about kids all the time. I feel like the next person I commit to, that’s going to be the guy who I’m going to have kids with. That’s in my crazy female brain. So that’s why I’m like, “I can’t commit.”

I mean In Time is a smash?

I couldn't even finish the movie because JT's acting was as good as a cardboard box being made to talk.

I think he should stick to music. I mean he is sexy as hell,his singing voice is amazing. He has abbs....why not just tear up the music scene like the old times?

Timberlake is shaping up to be a marvelous actor, and his evolution didn't begin with his slick, alluring turn as Sean Parker in The Social Network. He was terrific in Craig Brewer's 2006 Black Snake Moan, and his comic timing, in pictures like last summer's Bad Teacher, is sly and acute. He's great fun to watch here. He has a casual, playful frisson that both offsets and enhances the movie's deeper meaning.

Justin Timberlake continues to demonstrate that he is a real actor, with screen presence. He has a future in the movies.

Originally posted by Village Voice

Timberlake proves, as he did in Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales, his agility in dystopic thrillers.

Originally posted by Variety

Niccol stages shootouts and chase scenes that take full advantage of Timberlake's action-hero potential.

On my way out of the New York preview screening of “In Time,” I overheard another moviegoer cheerfully describing what he had just seen as a “Marxist propaganda film.” So it wasn’t just me. But it says something about our times, I guess, that the phrase would even come up in reference to a motion picture that could just as well be called grade-B dystopian sci-fi, or a successful attempt to position Timberlake as an action star.

Justin Timberlake, a capable actor with potentially strong screen presences, is criminally underused. He isn't given much more to do than play a generic action hero.

Originally posted by The Globe and Mail

Although it’s hardly an actor’s film, Timberlake is always competent, but Seyfried struggles with this gun-toting transition, and settles for hiding behind a Louise Brooks bob that accentuates her bug-eyed stare – she looks like a Kewpie doll toting G.I. Joe’s bazooka.

What is a surprise is that the film - starring Justin Timberlake as a Robin Hood-like character who gives new meaning to the term "time bandit" - is not just thoughtful, but brisk and engaging.

Originally posted by Orlando Sentiel

Timberlake is both adequate and epic in this leading man turn.

Originally posted by Miami Herald

Timberlake fares even better as an action hero than he did as a comedic leading man in Friends with Benefits, even though he gets weak support from Seyfried (whose character earns a surprising number of laughs)

Originally posted by TIME

Timberlake has the steely visage and stubbled cheeks for a rogue hero, but Seyfried, has trouble connecting with Sylvia’s inner rebellious streak or, for that matter, lending urgency to her line readings. The film’s crucial failing, though, is that Niccol’s imagination is vigorously literary but not thrillingly cinematic.

Originally posted by Entertainment Weekly

Timberlake, in his best scenes, reminds you that he really is a natural actor.

Originally posted by LA Times

"In Time" was supposed to turn Timberlake into a superhero, though given the way he manages a fairly massive pop career with an increasingly impressive acting portfolio, that may not be necessary. He brings an interesting sensibility to his characters, Will included, that suggest a complex interior that "In Time" never quite reveals. The opposite goes for Seyfried, who can do a lot more than use those big eyes and sleek lines.

Originally posted by Rolling Stone

Naturally, Will aims to bring Sylvia's daddy down, giving Timberlake a chance to show his action chops, which reveal he's in top shape.

Originally posted by The Hollywood Reporter

Timberlake capably carries the film with a glint of true rebelliousness.

And though her performance takes on a bit more life once her character becomes an empowered revolutionary, the short-coiffed Seyfried is a somewhat dull, cold love interest for these fashion model-sleek proceedings. Timberlake, however, generates enough heat on his own to keep the film enlivened, bringing to his wronged-man role a working-class grit that keeps the performance honest, and yet also a requisite degree of suave badass cockiness to help sell Niccol's well-staged on-foot and car chases.
