Amanda Seyfried says she 'never got rid' of her belly button ring

Amanda Seyfried reveals she's had a belly button ring since age 17 and praises co-star Sydney Sweeney's fashion sense and grace under pressure.

Amanda Seyfried says she 'never got rid' of her belly button ring
"I never got rid of it. I've had it since I was 17. - Amanda Seyfried"

Los Angeles, Feb 13

Hollywood star Amanda Seyfried spoke about her own sense of style and even voiced her support for her "Housemaid" co-star Sydney Sweeney saying that she has always been tapped into fashion."

Seyfried told people.com: "I think she's always been tapped into fashion. She seems to always have a nice 'fit. The sexier the better. It's funny, I haven't seen a lingerie line in a long time, and you know, if you've got the eye for it and the body, it's fun to celebrate that."

Speaking up about her own sense of style, Seyfried shared that she's worn a belly button ring since the age of 17, reports femalefirst.co.uk

The Hollywood star, who has Nina, eight, and Thomas, five, with husband Thomas Sadoski, shared: "I never got rid of it. I've had it since I was 17. I took it out when I was pregnant both times, I put it straight back in. Nobody really ever sees it, but it's always there."

Meanwhile, the actress previously heaped praise on Sweeney, describing her co-star as a "sweetheart".

The actress told Vanity Fair: "I don't envy anything she's going through. I've spent a lot of time with her; we just hit it off immediately. She's a sweetheart. She's a very generous, kind person at her core. I have to be honest: I did not have a moment like she's having ever.

"(My Mean Girls costar) Lindsay Lohan, we're buddies, and it's really, really, really harmful to people to have that kind of overnight spotlight."

"Because any press, good or bad, is still a blinding spotlight, and you have to maneuver and negotiate your way around it and outside of it. It's acrobatics that I don't think most people are capable of figuring it out at that age."

She thinks a sudden rise to stardom can actually be "dangerous". However, the actress praised Sweeney for how she's coped with the extra attention.

She said: "It's just dangerous, because when you have people.... on you-or idolising you and following you around-it can't be good for your psyche. It can't make you feel safe in the world. But I actually admire the way Syd shows up for work. She always has a smile on her face, even if she's miserable. I hope it doesn't change."

A belly button ring since 17? 😂 Honestly, good for her for keeping something that makes her happy. It's a small personal choice. In India, we see this more with ear piercings being kept for life. Different cultures, similar sentiment of holding onto little things from youth.

I appreciate her nuanced take on fame. The line "any press, good or bad, is still a blinding spotlight" is very insightful. It must be incredibly tough to navigate, especially for young women. Her concern seems genuine.

While I respect her personal style, the article feels a bit trivial focusing on a belly button ring. There are more substantial things she could speak about. That said, her advice to Sydney Sweeney about handling fame is valuable and comes from experience.

It's interesting how body piercings are seen in the West versus here. Many Indian women have nose piercings (nath) that are deeply cultural and sometimes kept for life too. Different meanings, but same idea of a permanent personal adornment.

She comes across as very grounded, especially for a Hollywood actress. Talking about putting the ring back in after pregnancy is such a normal, human detail. Shows celebrities are just like us in many ways.
