Sydney Sweeney Calls Amanda Seyfried Her "Forever Icon" Ahead of 'The Housemaid' Release

Hollywood friendships often come as a surprise, but the growing bond between rising star Sydney Sweeney and acclaimed actress Amanda Seyfried has become one of the most heartfelt stories in the industry this season. Sweeney, 28, has been outspoken about how Seyfried has influenced her since the beginning of her career, particularly with well-known parts like 'Mamma Mia!' Sweeney's infatuation has now organically developed into respect, cooperation, and genuine friendship as the pair has come together on their forthcoming psychological thriller ‘The Housemaid.’ 

Her now-viral admission that she refers to Seyfried as her "forever icon" encapsulates not only her enduring fandom but also the happiness and emotional burden of collaborating with someone she has loved for many years.

A Heartfelt Tribute: Calling Amanda Her "Forever Icon"

While promoting their upcoming psychological thriller film 'The Housemaid,' Sweeney admitted on the recent episode of 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' that she had long been a fan of Seyfried—especially for her iconic performance in the musical film 'Mamma Mia!' She said: "Did I know Amanda before this? I'm obsessed with her...I am like the biggest Mamma Mia! fan."

She added a personal anecdote to show how far the affection goes: during a beach-trip with friends in Africa, she played an ABBA music and subsequently sent a video to Seyfried, adding, "You are forever my icon." That phrase—"forever icon"—wasn't just casual praise; it showed genuine admiration for Seyfried’s journey, presence, and talent.

The fact that Sweeney isn't hiding her admiration is noteworthy. She didn't approach Seyfried as competition or a distant legend—but as someone she respects sincerely and feels lucky to partner with. In a business that is sometimes marked by rivalry, this kind of open adoration is uncommon.

Off-Screen Friendship and Mutual Admiration

Sweeney's admiration wasn't one-sided. In response, Seyfried called Sweeney "beautiful and fun" with grace and warmth. She commended working with her on ‘The Housemaid,’ adding that their common passion for the project made the experience "infectious." Even off-camera, the two grew closer as they recorded a TikTok in which they sang along to ABBA's 'Angeleyes.' Sweeney called the moment "amazing," adding it felt like a dream to blend her lengthy passion with reality.

This camaraderie suggests a dynamic much more like sisterhood than co-stars—Sweeney looks up to Seyfried, while Seyfried respects Sweeney's enthusiasm and energy. This genuine connection seems to have formed quickly, fueled by mutual professionalism, kindness, and shared joy in creating something new together.

On-screen collaboration: 'The Housemaid'—and What it Means

Their bond has a story: 'The Housemaid' is a psychological thriller, adapted from the hit novel by Freida McFadden, set to hit theaters soon. In the film, Seyfried portrays Nina, the woman of the house, while Sweeney plays Millie, a young woman who works as a live-in housemaid for a wealthy couple. What starts out as a task swiftly turns into a suspenseful, dark mystery full with secrets. Many fans are now looking forward to their on-screen chemistry because of their rapport off-screen.
