Amanda Seyfried had a memorably racy sex scene in last summer’s Jennifer’s Body, but this time around she’s dabbling in old-fashioned romance with Channing Tatum in Dear John.

The teary story of first love, based on the best-seller by Nicolas Sparks, brought back some memories for the 24-year-old star. Parade.com’s Jeanne Wolf found out why.

Getting that old feeling.
“It was only, like, seven years ago that I first felt that first real love, so it was really easy to tap into that excitement. I don’t think that ever goes away. I think you lock the memory away until something brings it back like a song or a movie. How exciting is that? Being in love is great.”

Her lip-lock with Channing.
“My 13-year-old self would be screaming right now if she saw me kissing Channing. When I was a teenager, I was dreaming about Justin Timberlake or Leonardo DiCaprio, who Channing has replaced as one of the sexiest men in movies. I’m sure a lot of girls are probably really jealous of me. It’s crazy. Being an actor is weird sometimes because you get used to making out with all these different people.”

The love scene she’d like to forget.
“It was freezing and I was nervous and it was so technical. Lasse Hallstrom, the director, said he wanted it to be ‘groundbreaking.’ Channing and I were like, ‘What do you mean?’ And Lasse said, ‘You know, like you wouldn’t believe it.’ If you ever got to watch a love scene being filmed you would have a great time because it’s hysterical. There’s nothing sexy about it, but they make it look quite sexy in the editing room.”

Avoiding heartbreak.
“In the movie, I’m the one who ends things with a ‘Dear John’ letter. It’s a terrible way to put it, but I prefer breaking someone’s heart. I almost got my heart broken. Just to be almost there was pretty bad.”

But still, it’s hard to forget an ex.
“I discovered a letter from my old boyfriend. It was really romantic. I was overseas when he sent it to me and he was really missing me. I found it a few weeks ago and I was just like, ‘I’ve just gotta keep this forever.’ It was one of the most romantic things that’s every happened to me.”

Letter writing is hard to do.
“I think it’s happening more now with soldiers and their families and their loved ones. Letters are really a core method of communication for them. You’ve got to stay connected and when you’re separated, and email and phones are hard to come by, that’s the only way. The challenge for me would be just getting the paper out and writing it well. Letters usually require thinking out what you’re going to be putting on paper. It’s nice to get a letter. It’s one of the most romantic things. With an email you can be so nonchalant and so lazy about expressing yourself.”

Her addiction confession
“I can’t get off my CrackBerry because it’s always clicking. There’s so much texting that some people don’t know how to write in cursive anymore. But, I don’t know, our technology is incredible now and it’s really hard to abandon that.”

Her most embarrassing moment.
“I met Nicholas Sparks, who not only wrote Dear John but also The Notebook. I’d sort of been in a James Patterson phase in my reading. So I blurted out, ‘Oh my God, I love your book Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas. Sparks was like, ‘I didn’t write that. It was James Patterson.’ And I’m like, ‘He’s really good, but so are you.’” (Source)
