Fans have noticed Seyfried not only for her acting, but also for her beauty. Moviefone ranked her in its “25 Under 25: Hollywood's Hottest Young Stars” list each year from 2008 to 2010. Glamour magazine voted Seyfried “Most Down-to-Earth” (2010) and ranked her No. 3 on its “50 Most Glamorous Women of 2010” list.

Personal Life

From an early age, Seyfried suffered from anxiety attacks. She claimed these were assets: "…that kind of anxiety in me, that obsession, was helpful. I use it in my acting. It's something I don't want to give up feeling, because it gives me an edge."

Seyfried’s hobby of taxidermy also sets her apart from other Hollywood starlets. Seyfried revealed, “When taxidermy is done well it’s an amazing piece of art. I love animals and they’re very easy to look after when they’re dead. I have a horse, a miniature horse, it’s a baby.”

Regarding her love life, Seyfried has dated a string of actors, including Jesse Marchant, Dominic Cooper, Ryan Phillippe, Josh Hartnett, Alexander Skarsgard and Desmond Harrington.

Seyfried resides in Los Angeles, California, with her dog, Finn.
