Pimp my ride! Amanda Seyfried sits in top down car with on-screen husband Peter Sarsgaard on set of Linda Lovelace



These are the first pictures of Amanda Seyfried pictured with her onscreen husband Peter Sarsgaard on the set of her most controversial movie yet about porn star Linda Lovelace.
The Hollywood stars appear relaxed and carefree as they sit inside a convertible car on location in Long Beach, Los Angeles today.
But the movie, titled Lovelace and due to release next year, will no doubt chart the troubled relationship the Deep Throat star received at the hands of her tyrannical husband and pornographer Chuck Traynor.

The 1972 movie was widely regarded as the first porn movie with an actual plot - but Lovelace later alleged Traynor had forced her to do the film at gunpoint.
She further alleged he would beat her during their three year marriage in the early Seventies and force her into having sex with other men.
Amanda was today in full costume, sporting a long brown wig, a Seventies-style dress and wedged shoe while 40-year-old Sarsgaard went shirtless, donning a pair of flared jeans.

Seyfried, 26, recently spoke about her preparations for the risqué role.
She told ABCnews.com: 'It’s going to be really hard and kind of terrifying at the same time.'
She added: 'I do have some liberties there but I am playing someone that existed in history and had quite an established reputation for something very extreme.'
Yesterday it was revealed that Amanda has landed a part in the Hollywood version of the hit Broadway show Les Miserables.
