On Wednesday, Amanda Seyfried told The Scott Mills Breakfast Show that while filming nude scenes for her leading role in The Testament of Ann Lee, she wore—drumroll, please—a prosthetic butthole.
And folks, it’s news like this that I come to the internet for.
The Testament of Ann Lee is a historical musical drama about…Ann Lee, the religious leader who journeyed from England to America in the 1700s to form the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, a Christian sect known as the Shakers. “This movie needed to be graphic, so I had a prosthetic butthole,” Seyfried explained. Yes, naturally, you would need a prosthetic butthole for this movie about a celibate religious sect, Amanda. I completely agree.
[!PROSTHETIC BUTTHOLE SPOILER ALERT!] The prosthetic in question appears in one of the film’s final scenes. “I was pregnant and naked, but I wasn’t naked at all, and at the end of the movie, I’m standing in front of a burning building with just a merkin,” she explained. “I felt so free.”
Unfortunately, she did clarify: “You cannot see my butthole in the scene, but I swear there is a prosthetic butthole there.” Release the butthole cut.
“It was cool. It was exciting,” she added. Sure. No big deal, Amanda. Like you didn’t just sell me the entire film in one sentence.
Whenever I’m sinking into the dull monotony of existence, I can always count on her to drop an unhinged quote and bring me back to life. Take, for example, the amazing bit of press she did for The Housemaid earlier this year, when she revealed she had “no idea” she was a producer on the film until three weeks into production.
Even if this prosthetic butthole story is just a sneaky bit of PR, you’ve gotta admit—at least it’s creative. I’ve heard a million press soundbites that are boring at best. Oh, Margot Robbie got Jacob Elordi a matching ring on the set of Wuthering Heights? I’m falling asleep. Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson fell in love on the set of The Naked Gun. What do you take me for? An idiot?
Where’s the originality? Where’s the whimsy? Where are the prosthetic buttholes????
We need more celebrities like Seyfried who are willing to be silly, because media training is SO last year. This year, let’s get a little crazy with our PR. We could all use a bit more silliness in our lives.
Fewer assholes, more prosthetic buttholes. Thank you.
