The actress added that her daughter now recognizes her as Sophie, saying, “which is a little weird, but also beautiful.”
Seyfried then shared that while her daughter may not fully grasp the film, she “loves it” before mentioning that Nina is also a big fan of the 2018 sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
The actress explained that her 7-year-old frequently requests to listen to the music from her films, recalling how just the day before, Nina had eagerly asked her, “Can we listen to Mamma Mia! right now?’ Even yesterday, I was like, ‘Yeah, which one, one or two?’”
The Last Word actress added that she ultimately chose to play the song from the original movie, Lay All Your Love On Me. She reflected on how surreal it feels to be listening to the music with her daughter, who is now starting to comprehend and appreciate it in a new way, calling the experience “trippy.”
