Red Riding Hood actress Amanda Seyfried says she was a "weird-looking" child.

Seyfried is often voted one of the world's most beautiful women, but she insists that she hasn't always been confident with her looks, even though she was a child model.

"I was a child model but I wasn't doing much of it. I just don't consider myself a 'model' because I wasn't. I was such a weird-looking child. I had braces and I was kind of chubby."

Considering her attitude towards the Hollywood norm, it may not be hard to believe that Amanda Seyfried doesn’t own a hairdryer.

The Letters to Juliet actress is often voted as one of the world’s most stylish women, but admits she’s very low-maintenance and rarely spends time on her appearance. The blonde beauty said, “I don’t even have a blow dryer because I don’t dry my hair. I probably flat iron my hair once every six months.”

The 24-year-old star has only just recently discovered the benefits of wearing make-up in her everyday life, saying, “I just started wearing blusher and realize how much more alive I look with it on.”

As well as being a new-found cosmetic fan, Amanda - who is dating her Mamma Mia! co-star Dominic Cooper - loves to show off her lovely legs by donning a pair of high heels. She told InStyle Hair magazine, “I wear heels, my legs are long and they’re the one part of my body I really like. Though I never wear heels on the weekend.”
