Amanda Seyfried Says She Wore a 'Prosthetic Butthole' for The Testament of Ann Lee

Her BBC disclosure highlights how the production used intimacy prosthetics to pursue realism while preserving on‑set privacy.

Overview

  • A clip from BBC Radio 2’s The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on Feb. 25 shows Seyfried saying she used the prosthetic during nude scenes.
  • Seyfried emphasized the piece was a precaution for graphic material and that the body part is not visible in the finished film.
  • She described filming with the coverings as “cool” and “exciting,” noting they helped her feel comfortable on set.
  • Earlier reporting detailed additional intimate prosthetics for birth sequences to achieve authenticity without exposing actors.
  • The historical drama, directed by Mona Fastvold and co‑written with Brady Corbet, drew festival acclaim, earned Seyfried an Oscar nomination, and opens in the U.K. on Feb. 27.
