Blossoming into quite the attractive young lady, Amanda Seyfried likes to be sexy.

The “Dear John” actress, who is in a relationship with British actor Dominic Cooper, gushed, “It’s nice to finally be thought of as sexy. I’m very disconnected from the sensual side of me, I know it’s in me, but it doesn’t really reveal itself very often in my personal life, which I do find problematic.”

But it may not take her long to connect. “I am working on that through. Doing [upcoming movie] Chloe has definitely helped me find that side of me.”

And, although the 24-year-old doesn’t mind the attention, she knows how to stay on track. “I can see my career going down a bad road if I make the wrong decisions. I’m in a moment, but what I keep saying is, ‘It could be like a moment that lasts a moment.’ So you can’t really take it for granted.”

But she doesn’t mind soaking it in either. “You have to take advantage of it. I’m getting so many more opportunities because I’m on magazine covers, and it’s exciting to see your face up there and people buying them. It’s exciting, but it doesn’t really affect my personal life that much.”
