Amanda Seyfried is truly a GEM!! Several months ago she helped my terminally-ill son by posting an Instastory and post with a link to his GoFundMe campaign - it helped our campaign grow so much!!! We messaged back and forth that night and she was so sweet to me. I will never ever forget what she did for our family!!!

[@JamaicanRain]

Oh, wow. That is so amazing. 😳 Most celebs I think are distrusting and believe all events like that are sob stories so people can get the attention of their fave celeb/s. I am glad she has faith in people, and she knows it is rightfully placed! 😊

[@KanadeLapis]

I remember that post of hers, i thought your son was the most adorable kid i've ever seen and i felt so sad for him. Are things fine for him now? I hope they are. Bless him.

[@rajamohammed8683]

Artists are just like everybody else in matters of pain, only they experience it more. I am not surprised when people talk about kindhearted artists. People like Amanda I like Amanda so much.

She seems terrified-- I just want to give her a hug

[@dyscotopia]

Many long time actors feel a bit weird and awkward when they have to perform "as themselves" for several minutes. It's this bizarre manicured authenticity. Public speaking is people's #1 fear. Even celebrities get it. She's huggable for sure tho.

[@christopherweise438]

esskaymac - She has said she's a raging introvert. She's socially awkward. I'm the same. No problems being on stage with my band, but having to talk to people freaks me out.
