Amanda Seyfield’s Lucky Love Letters

Amanda Seyfried keeps her old love letters for “good luck”.

The ‘Dear John’ actress, who is currently dating her ‘Mamma Mia!’ co-star Dominic Cooper, used to exchange notes with a former boyfriend and says she still holds on to them as they help to inspire her.

Amanda, whose character Savannah Curtis in ‘Dear John’ stays in touch with her soldier boyfriend by post said, “The last time I wrote a letter was at Christmas, in my childhood bedroom, as a response to a letter I had received. And it was the most beautiful letter I had ever written.

“But me and my previous boyfriend used to write each other love notes from time to time even though we lived close by and it was nice. I keep them for good luck and something to inspire me.”

Amanda – who co-stars with Channing Tatum in the film – shot the movie in Charleston, South Carolina, and she is now keen to buy a property there and renovate it.

She told BANG Showbiz, “I loved being in Charleston – it’s so beautiful and the people are amazing. I want to buy a house there and there’s actually a property I’ve seen, which I want to buy and fix up. It’s a dream life down there.”



Channing Tatum Plans to Die in Bed With Wife

Channing Tatum’s wife wants them die in bed together.

The ‘Dear John’ actor admits his actress spouse, Jenna Dewan, is obsessed by romantic film ‘The Notebook’ – in which the two lead characters eventually pass away in old age while cuddling each other – and has made him promise that’s how they’ll leave this planet.

He said, “My wife makes me watch ‘The Notebook’ all the time – it’s one of her favourite movies. It makes me cry and it makes her cry. But every time we put it on she makes me promise that we’ll die in bed together, which is a little weird!”

Although he is a little freaked out by his wife’s hopes, Channing, who married his ‘Step Up’ co-star in 2009, is a hopeless romantic and has even written stories for his stunning partner.

Channing, whose alter-ego John Tyree in ‘Dear John’ stays in touch with his girlfriend by letters, told BANG Showbiz, “I don’t think I’ve ever written a love letter but I have written a story for my wife. I then gave it to her as a present at Christmas. But I would like to write more letters, I think it’s a lost art form.”
