Seyfried Vows To Only Work Within Three Feet Of Her Backyard Playpen

The Mean Girls star demands her co-stars commute to her patio while she monitors snack time and nap schedules via megaphone.

A caricature of the actress for the article Seyfried Vows To Only Work Within Three Feet Of Her Backyard Playpen shows her posing with a gold Oscar and a diaper bag.
Amanda Seyfried is putting her foot down, and that foot is currently wearing a fuzzy slipper and stepping on a stray LEGO. The actress just revealed her hardcore co-parenting strategy, which basically involves never leaving her zip code unless a film crew agrees to shoot the entire movie in her vegetable garden. Apparently, Amanda has a new 'one-mile radius' rule for projects. If the script doesn't take place in her kitchen or the local Target, she’s swiping left on the role. She’s reportedly looking for a co-star who doesn't mind holding a boom mic while also cutting the crusts off three grilled cheese sandwiches. Her ex is apparently on board with the plan, mostly because it means he gets to watch the kids while Amanda films high-intensity dramatic scenes while hiding in the pantry. Talk about a working mom who really knows how to keep the 'house' in 'The Housemaid!'
