Oscar-nominated actress Amanda Seyfried has shed light on her decision to turn down the major Marvel role of Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy, revealing that the choice came down to protecting her personal life and career choices. 

In a recent Q and A with the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, as cited by People magazine, Seyfried explained that passing on the blockbuster franchise character, which was ultimately played by Zoe Saldana, felt clear-cut at the time.
