Seyfried added: "Maybe if [the project] came up again [at a later stage], maybe I'd be in a different space. But I don't want to deal with being naked with a stranger."

The actor said being an actor "gets weirder" as he gets older because "we have to be romantic with people we're not romantic with. Sometimes it's great. Sometimes it's really sad. But I can't believe that on the same day I was like, "We've got to pull ourselves together. That's great! That's great. I know how I did it." "Meet a hot guy today... and they'll pay me."

Seyfried previously told Porter magazine that she wished there were intimacy coordinators on set. A teen actress in her younger years, Seyfried purposely allowed herself to be upset because she felt it was the only way to keep her job.

"At 19, I'm walking around in my underwear — like, are you kidding me? How did I let this happen?" Seyfried said at the time. Oh, I know why: I was 19 and I didn't want to upset anyone and I wanted to keep my job. That's why.

During her conversation with Baldwin, Seyfried said she's doing a much better job these days of creating boundaries for herself as an actor on and off screen.

"Now I have kids who pay attention to what I'm doing, so I have to be less interested in it," the actor said. The other day—this is so crazy—but Nina, my daughter, and I were walking down the street [in Manhattan] ... and someone asked for a picture on the side of the street, and I looked at my daughter and said, 'No, I'm sorry.' And then we went across the street and I said, "How was that for you, Nina? Was it good? He's like, 'Mom, I'm so proud of you,' and then we go to the coffee shop, and the barista at the coffee shop says, 'Can I have a picture?' And I was like, "No, I'll be back later." "I'm proud of you for saying no," says my daughter. And I said, "Damn?" He shouldn't have told me that. I have to say no."

Seyfried's new rule is that she won't agree to take pictures with fans if she's with her kids because "whatever [they're] going through is more important than what I'm going through."

Seyfried recently had one of the biggest hits of her career with The Maid, a winter blockbuster that grossed $400 million worldwide. She recently made the festival rounds with her latest indie drama, The Life and Death of Wilson Shade, and voices Cinderella in the upcoming Netflix animation Steps.
