Actress Amanda Seyfried, who is dating actor Justin Long, says the society makes her feel pressurised to have children.

The "Les Miserables" actress shared that she feels frustrated by the constant reminders for women that they should not delay having children until too late, even though she thinks that due to technological advances, it is no longer an issue.

"Society keeps reminding us that our eggs are dying off, which I'm sick of. I'm like, I get it. Technology these days man, I mean you can have babies up until you're 50 apparently. But I feel the pressure every day," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Seyfried as saying.

The 29-year-old actress thinks parenthood would be a wonderful adventure, but she isn't ready to start a family of her own just yet.

"Right now. I'm being careful. But it does seem like a wonderful adventure. My three best friends have kids and it looks like they've figured out the secret of life because of it. They are very happy," she said.
