Amanda Seyfried Almost Tried Cocaine Post Mean Girls Success

Amanda Seyfried made her debut with Mean Girls and found huge success in the industry, which almost pushed her to the edge, like her co-star Lindsay Lohan. However, Seyfried managed to steer clear of the infamy, largely thanks to her approach to the industry and her obsessive-compulsive disorder. In a new interview, she recalled how she almost ended up using cocaine, but ultimately, fear helped her choose the better path.

Amanda Seyfried opens up about her ‘ridiculous 20s’

In a recent interview with GQ, Amanda Seyfried opened up about her “wild” 20s after her Mean Girls success. Seyfried seemingly had many opportunities to go down a much darker path. However, she ended up in the right place decades later.

“The outsized bashing is ugly,” she said, “It’s like a fear of mine. I would not want to be spotlit for being infamous in any way.”

Seyfried’s close friend and Mean Girls co-star Lindsay Lohan, for instance, was torn apart by tabloids. She ended up going down a very different path than Seyfried.

“I mean, did I go clubbing? Yeah,” Seyfried said. “Did I find myself at Val Kilmer’s house one night at 1 am with [Mean Girls co-stars] Daniel Franzese and Jonathan Bennett? Did I find myself there with them in the pool? I was 18, and I had just moved to LA, and we had gone to a screening of Reefer Madness. I was at Val Kilmer’s house – I don’t even remember meeting him, but I was at his house,” she recalled.

“My 20s were ridiculous,” she continued, “I found myself in many places. I also remember there was a time I could have done cocaine for the first time at the Chateau [Marmont], and I didn’t because I was scared. And so there was a limit to how much partying I was going to do, because I only wanted to be so drunk that I could [still] get myself home.”

In the past, Seyfried said that her obsessive-compulsive disorder stopped her from partying too hard. She added that this also played a part in her remaining in a better place in the long run.

Seyfried remains active in the industry today.
