Amanda Seyfried says she is anxious about getting typecast as an actress who specialises in romantic-comedies.
The 28-year-old actress has starred in several romantic movies and comedies including 'Mamma Mia!', 'Dear John' and 'Letters to Juliet', among others, reported Contactmusic.
"If you make two romantic comedies, you're presumed to do just that," Seyfried said.
The 'Mean Girls' star took on the role of real life adult movie actress Linda Lovelace in the biopic 'Lovelace' last year and she said she took the role very seriously as she wanted to give meaning to the story.
"I wasn't necessarily afraid of what the public would think of me. I wanted to validate her (Linda) existence and give the most positive version of her that I could," she said.
"I mean, maybe I am tainted by it. But I feel like all that movie did for me was solidify my seriousness," she added.
