Amanda Seyfried is clarifying her credit as executive producer on The Housemaid, admitting the latter title was a pure vanity credit.

Amanda Seyfried Didn’t Know She Was a Producer on ‘The Housemaid’ Until Three Weeks Into Filming and Says ‘It’s a Vanity Credit Because I Didn’t Do S— to Make That Movie. I Only Acted’https://t.co/rQNb3N8YFf

“I’m a producer on it and I didn’t know until three weeks in,” Seyfried said. “I saw the call sheet and I was like, ‘Executive producer? I didn’t sign up for that.’ I called one of the producers and was like, ‘You guys have me on as an executive producer.’ And he was like, ‘That’s what your agent negotiated.’ And I was like, ‘Well this really better be a hit then.’”

“It was one of those vanity credits, because I didn’t do shit to make that movie. I only acted in it,” Seyfried added. “That’s the thing about vanity credits. I don’t want people to get it twisted. What Margot [Robbie] does is really intensely develop movies from jump. I just jumped in, had a bunch of fun and left. And now, I’m like, they’re sending me on a vacation.”

The film grossed a mighty $374 million and counting worldwide on a reported $35 million budget. Lionsgate is currently developing a sequel with co-star Sydney Sweeney already attached.
