Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried gets very excited if you mention a certain British actor and a former Bond man.
"He's so sexy, Colin Firth, so sexy [and] will always be," Seyfried, 22, told Entertainment Tonight as she giggled about her Mamma Mia! costar.
And she feels equally as lucky when it comes to sharing the screen with another handsome actor: Pierce Brosnan.
"Shooting in the summer of '07 on the 007 [sound]stage with a 007, that's one of the things he said to me, and I was like, 'You're right, I am lucky,' because he's a studly, studly man!" the actress says.

Casting the Presidential Wannabes: Meryl Streep Voted Most Likely to Play Hillary
Originally posted 04/08/2008 04:40PM
The Queen got Helen Mirren. So, who should play Hillary Clinton on the
screen?
Meryl Streep, who played a U.S. senator ruthlessly trying to get her son to
the White House in the 2004 remake of The Manchurian Candidate, was the top pick among 500 women surveyed nationwide in Lifetime Television's latest
"Every Woman Counts" polling. In results tabulated Tuesday, Glenn Close was the runner-up, with Diane Keaton placing third.
Clinton's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Barack Obama,
told Tyra Banks in September that he initially thought Denzel Washington
would make a fine Obama. "But then somebody pointed out that, with my ears,
it might have to be Will Smith," Obama added.
