In the interview, Seyfried reflects on the anxiety that is suffered during castings: “There is a strange fear when you enter, that you have to cause a good impression immediately. The only impression that I think will be useful is to be yourself. The way people behave when nervous can be very unpleasant. I think focusing and saying what you feel instead of a lot of nonsense will be useful, because that insecurity that is filtered through your behavior is simply not attractive, “says the actress.
“Insecurity is not attractive and we are all insecure. I realized very, very soon that I was very anxious“, the American adds on her experience during the casting of WICKED.
