Amy Adams Rejects ‘Dirty’ SNL Song to Safeguard Young ‘Enchanted’ Fans

Amy Adams Refuses Risque SNL Duet to Shield ‘Enchanted’ Fans

Amy Adams made headlines recently when Andy Samberg revealed that she turned down a suggestive song for her Saturday Night Live hosting gig back in 2008, aiming to protect the young audience that adored her role in Enchanted. During a November 4 episode of “The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast,” Samberg reminisced about the inappropriate duet he proposed, describing it as “very dirty.” Adams, who portrayed the charming Giselle in the beloved 2007 film, had voiced her concerns over how this performance would impact her young admirers.

Samberg shared his experience, stating that while Adams found the concept amusing, she ultimately could not proceed with it. She emphasized her duty to the children who idolized her character, expressing that exposing them to such explicit content would be harmful. Samberg recalled her saying, “Little girls are so obsessed with Enchanted right now. They will find this, and it will be scarring for them, and I just can’t mix that right now.”

Instead, the duo collaborated on a more family-friendly track titled “Hero’s Song.” Samberg reflected on a moment during their brainstorming process when a mother and her daughter approached Adams, captivated by her presence. This experience drove home the point for him, showing the weight of Adams’ decision. He noted that she recognized her responsibility to her younger fans and took it very seriously, which left a lasting impression on him.

The conversation also touched on Adams’ evolving career. Recently, she gained attention for her dedication to a new role in Nightbitch, where she let her facial hair grow for authenticity, pushing the boundaries of her on-screen persona. She elaborated on this choice, interpreting it as a natural expression of the human experience.

In addition to her memorable role as Giselle in Enchanted and its sequel Disenchanted, Adams is set to showcase her versatility in upcoming projects. Her recent performances have demonstrated her willingness to tackle more complex and unconventional narratives, solidifying her status as one of Hollywood’s most talented actresses.
