Seyfried looks to Judd for help
Wednesday Feb 22 2012
Amanda Seyfried has said she took inspiration from Ashley Judd when working on her latest movie, suspense thriller Gone.
The 26-year-old actress revealed she's squeamish about horror films, but a huge fan of action heroines "with balls".
"I hate blood, that's the thing," she explained at the movie's Los Angeles premiere. "I hate blood and guts. I don't like movies like that, I wouldn't go see Halloween 8.
"But I would love to go see Ashley Judd kicking a** and that's kind of what I wanted to be doing.
Seyfried stars in Gone as a young woman fighting to save her sister from a serial killer after police refuse to believe her story.
But she admitted the roles played by herself, and by Judd, were far removed from her real-life personality.
"They're awesome, normal women with balls, going after what they want," she said.
"All my characters have more balls than I do."
