After spending 6 years of her life in Los Angeles, Amanda Seyfried is happy to get out of the crazy city and says she has done all she needs to do. She moved to L.A. at 18 and is ready to leave at 24.
She admits to despising Hollywood after growing up in Pennsylvania all of her life, but she needed to live there to boost her chances of success in her career… which she definitely did. They are obviously two completely different places. I don’t blame her. Walking around in L.A. must cause a ridiculous amount of anxiety for celebrities. Ugh, I would not want to be in their shoes. No wonder why they all end up in rehab… I’d be addicted to xanax for sure if I lived that lifestyle!

She told America’s Esquire magazine, “I sacrificed six years in Los Angeles. I did my job out there. I made the contacts and did the work I had to do.

“But I came here at 18. I’m out of here at 24, and I feel lucky it wasn’t longer.”

Amanda is moving to New York in April which will make her at least 4 hours closer to her British-born boyfriend who co-starred with her in Mamma Mia, Dominic Cooper.

She said: “I bought an apartment in New York but I can’t move in until April because it needs renovating. I was hoping to move there now. But it’s OK. It’s worth it. And I have my relationship overseas, too. So New York’s just so much easier than Los Angeles as I’m always going to London. It’s nice to be closer – even if it’s still a long flight. 11 hours is different from seven.”

I am happy for her for accomplishing her goals at such a young age. She is hilarious and gorgeous. I loved her in Mean Girls when she played a ditsy blond who thought she could predict the weather with her boobs. Then she was the main star in Mamma Mia and was unbelievable. I loved watching her in that movie.

Glad to see her do so well at such a young age.
