Amanda Seyfried discusses her role in the Elizabeth Holmes documentary "You Can See Everything"
Seyfried said she felt relieved and excited about her secret participation in the documentary, describing the experience as a rewarding artistic risk.
Amanda Seyfried spoke publicly for the first time about her involvement in the Elizabeth Holmes documentary "You Can See Everything." On a red carpet interview, she described feeling "relieved" and "excited" now that her participation was known.
"It’s important for me as an actor, an artist, I mean, a mom, of course, but as a person in the world who loves to work, to find things that I haven’t done before and to do things that scare me in a specific way," Seyfried said. "And when you follow through with something that scares you and it comes out the other end that it’s something that’s having an impact, mostly positive impact, it always feels good because you take a risk."
Seyfried reprises her portrayal of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in reenactments directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. The documentary blends traditional interview footage with staged scenes, featuring Seyfried alongside Fielder after Holmes begins serving her prison sentence.
The film debuted at the Telluride Film Festival and has earned about $80 million in North America over four weekends, making it the second-largest documentary box-office performer on the continent.
