Amanda Seyfried may have to show a lot of skin playing Linda Lovelace in Lovelace, but the porn biopic's risqué sex scenes didn't bother the 27-year-old actress.

"It's fine," Seyfried told us last night at the film's Hollywood premiere. "You don't think too much about it. It's a costume really. It's just a naked body. I mean, in America it's something, but most other places in the world, it's just a naked body. We all look the same."

Seyfried said she didn't see Lovelace's famed Deep Throat film before she started shooting Lovelace. "I saw it halfway through," she admitted. "Less than halfway through I saw 15 minutes of it—so boring to me. Knowing what I know about her and her ordeal while she was filming, it was just not a good feeling."

Lovelace's ordeal included physical and sexual abuse from her husband at the time Chuck Traynor (Peter Sarsgaard). As for shooting those dark scenes for the film, Seyfried said, "For the most part, there was an easiness to our set, our atmosphere was pretty light because we prepared so much. We didn't need to lose ourselves in the day. Sometimes we'd be doing comedy and then going into the violent scenes in one day and you gotta be ready for anything."

Meanwhile, Seyfried and Sarsgaard recently chatted with GQ and talked about filming those risqué sex scenes. "It's a bizarre part of our jobs, no doubt about it," Sarsgaard said. Seyfried, "Yeah, I keep trying to, like, justify it in some way, and I can't anymore. Like, it's f--ked up that we call it a job."

The actors also revealed their porn names to the mag (the name of your first pet plus the name of the street you grew up on). Get ready because Seyried's is pretty amazing.

"Mine's Bad P--sy Washington," the blond beauty said, adding, "Actually, no, wait—Bad P--sy St. Cloud. That was my very first street."

As for Sarsgaard's, he dished, " My first pet was Joey, and the first street I lived on was Buckingham. So Joey Buckingham."
