We have another pretty shoot heading our way in the new issue of Self Magazine! Check out the behind the scenes video — we can’t wait to see the spread!

We’ve laughed with Amanda Seyfried in Mean Girls, we sang with her as she danced through Mamma Mia, we cried with her in Dear John (her first headlining role), and we had a blast shooting her for our June cover!

When we shot the actress for our June cover, we thought a grassy Malibu location would be the perfect spot to bring out Seyfried’s girl-next-door approachability. The uber-friendly star–who arrived wearing a striped, black and white Diesel tank, a cardigan, leggings and Uggs–introducing herself to everyone on set, and was easily comfortable and chatty with everyone around her all day.

SELF’s creative director called Seyfried a “young Brigitte Bardot” when the actress playfully posed in the sun–her sexy summer shots evoked the ’50s while capturing Seyfried’s low-key vibe (No A-list attitude here; she even brought her own lunch!). All went well her until the wind caused us to move inside. Yep, we sodded the entire living room of a Malibu mansion!
