“I’m so glad because I love my son but I was so ill,” she said. “The weekend before one of the big scenes where actually I don’t have any lines… I thought that it was going to be a little easier [even] knowing that I was going to have to be in the makeup chair at 3:30 [a.m.] on one of the days.”
She added, “I was in bed the whole weekend thinking, I don’t think I can do this. I can’t be sick and working with David Fincher and play Marion Davies at the same time.”
Seyfried also revealed that she kept her pregnancy a secret from everyone on the set except for the costume designer.
“I’m four and a half weeks pregnant, I’m not supposed to say anything but I’m bloated and I can only eat cream cheese!” she laughed.
