Amanda Seyfried has questioned her own answers in a red carpet interview after clips went around online, according to USA Today. "What AM I even saying," she said in a comment on the clip. At the Academy Museum Gala, she had said she liked to talk about emus, Halloween and apple pie.
Amanda Seyfried questioned her own answers from a red carpet interview at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on October 17, according to USA Today. The actress, 40, commented "what AM I even saying" under The Hollywood Reporter's Instagram post sharing a clip of the interview, USA Today reported.
When The Hollywood Reporter asked about her life, Seyfried described it as "interesting," and she agreed when the reporter said interviews were difficult at the moment, adding that it was "for a good reason," USA Today reported. "I don't know, I think everything that's happening is meant to happen [and] everything, everyone that's in your life is meant to be in your life," she said, according to USA Today.
Asked what she could talk about, she answered, "I like to talk about the emus. I like to talk about Halloween. And you can engage with me if you want to talk about all things having to do with apple pie and olives and really good hard ciders," USA Today reported.
The clips drew a lot of attention online, including from concerned fans, USA Today reported. Some social media users criticized the reporter for pressing on with the interview while Seyfried is going through a divorce, according to USA Today. Seyfried and actor Thomas Sadoski, who married in 2017, announced their separation about a month before the gala, USA Today reported.
USA Today reported that reporters likely kept their questions vague to avoid revealing a part of "You Can See Everything," Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, which opened October 16. Seyfried, who won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for playing Holmes in the 2022 Hulu series "The Dropout," makes a surprise appearance in the film, re-creating conversations Fielder could not film, according to USA Today.
In a separate interview with Variety at the same event, Seyfried said she did not expect a second season of "The Dropout" but added "life is long," USA Today reported.
