Transcript

00:00You said in interviews that you can function on two hours of sleep.

00:02You don't drink coffee and you only drink water.

00:05Yes.

00:05Now be honest, do you think you're better than all of us?

00:09No!

00:11It's deceptive.

00:15No, it's not true!

00:17Do you consider eight hours of sleep too much?

00:19No!

00:20Nothing's been truthful.

00:24I don't get it.

00:25Wait, okay, let's get to the truth.

00:27Amanda.

00:29Sydney.

00:29Hi.

00:30We brought you here today to take a lie detector test.

00:32One of you will be hooked up to the machine, while the other will ask the questions.

00:36And then you'll switch.

00:38This is Stephanie, our polygraph operator.

00:41Hi.

00:42Hello.

00:43Who wants to be in the hot seat first?

00:46I'll do it.

00:47You will?

00:47Mm-hmm.

00:49Okay.

00:53Oh, I get it.

00:54This is serious stuff.

00:56I don't sweat.

00:57To begin, I'm going to ask you a few questions to calibrate the machine.

01:12Is your full name Amanda Michelle Seifers?

01:14Yes.

01:15Are you about to take a polygraph test?

01:17Yes.

01:19Are you nervous?

01:20Mm-hmm.

01:21Mm-hmm.

01:22Stephanie, are we ready to go?

01:23The machine has been calibrated.

01:25Ah!

01:26Okay.

01:26You auditioned to play Regina George in Mean Girls, but you ended up being cast as Karen

01:33instead.

01:34Do you think that was because you're too sweet to be that mean?

01:37No.

01:38Were you ever a mean girl once you made it in Hollywood?

01:40No.

01:41Was anyone ever mean to you when you were starting out in Hollywood?

01:44Uh-huh.

01:46Were you ever a mean girl in high school?

01:48No.

01:49I was a Karen.

01:50That's why I got the role.

01:51I swear to God.

01:54I was a Karen.

01:56I was!

01:59It looks like so far you've been truthful.

02:01Okay.

02:02Oh, my God.

02:02Okay, you recently spoke about having no regrets and turning down the role of Gamora in the

02:09MCU.

02:10Do you wish I had consulted you before joining the MCU?

02:15No, because I just didn't want to sit around getting painted for more hours than my acting

02:25time.

02:26So I would have, no matter what, said, you know.

02:29Mm-hmm.

02:29And I haven't seen your Marvel movie.

02:31Have you seen it?

02:32No.

02:32Is it true that you asked your stylist if you could borrow this person's exact outfit

02:37at the Venice Film Festival?

02:38I did.

02:39Did you have to run it by Julia first?

02:40We did, yeah.

02:42If Julia said no, would you have held it against her?

02:48Yeah.

02:50If I asked you to switch outfits with me right now, would you do it?

02:52Yes.

02:53Unless you sweated.

02:54I don't sweat.

02:55Okay, me either.

02:56She's lying.

02:57That is fucking fucked up.

03:00I do not sweat.

03:01I used to not sweat.

03:05I used to not sweat.

03:06There's a lot of untruth.

03:09Amanda!

03:10Maybe in my butthole, but not under my arms.

03:15Was that true?

03:16Inconclusive.

03:17Okay, are you used to borrowing people's clothes?

03:22Yes.

03:23Have you ever borrowed something and never gave it back?

03:27I'm sure.

03:28No, but I used to borrow my best friend, who I'm so best friends with.

03:31I used to borrow her stuff at school because I would sing in the talent shows or something,

03:38and her outfits were always nicer than mine.

03:40And she would let me borrow them, but she always sweated.

03:43Oh.

03:43And you know what that feels like?

03:45No.

03:46I'm traumatized.

03:47Was that true?

03:48She is telling the truth.

03:49Can I tell you something about Julia?

03:51I don't think she sweats.

03:55True?

03:56She's telling the truth.

03:57Just a hunch.

03:58Oh, God.

03:59I don't sweat.

04:00I mean, I do sometimes.

04:02People are obsessed with the drunken photos taken at the 2007 Mamma Mia rap party.

04:07Was that party the best party you've ever been to?

04:10I mean, it was one of them, yeah.

04:14Be honest.

04:15Who of your three dads do you wish you could party with tonight?

04:18Colin.

04:19Not to say I don't love all three of them so, so, so much.

04:22But Colin seems like he's not a party animal, but...

04:28Yeah.

04:30So, I once took my whole team to the Mamma Mia party dinner experience in London.

04:36Do you find that a bit weird that I'm a big fan?

04:38No, it's not a bit weird.

04:39It's very cute.

04:40I'm such a big fan.

04:40Thank God you like it.

04:42Thank God you like it.

04:43Have you ever been to the dinner experience?

04:44No, but I would, and I would go not incognito, because I'd be like...

04:50People would freak out.

04:51I know, but I like it.

04:53I like when people come up and say they like Mamma Mia.

04:55That was truthful.

04:56You said in October of 2024 that you hadn't seen a script for Mamma Mia 3.

05:02Is that still true?

05:03Still true.

05:04Is that true?

05:05Truthful.

05:06Do you still think this person...

05:08That's what you guys think.

05:08I'm kidding.

05:09I'm kidding.

05:09...would be the best choice to play your daughter in the film?

05:11No, I...

05:12If I...

05:14They aged me up, yes.

05:16It would be really fantastic to work with her, but I'm not ready to be 60.

05:21Could I be your random sister in the new film?

05:23Yes.

05:23Hold on, how old are you?

05:2628.

05:26How old is she?

05:27I don't know.

05:28I think I'm the same age as me?

05:29Maybe a few years younger?

05:30I think I would have to be 50 in order for that to make sense.

05:33Yeah.

05:33And I don't want to play 50 yet.

05:35I'm happy playing 40.

05:37And yeah, you should be in it.

05:39Was that true?

05:40That was.

05:40Oh my God!

05:41Oh my God!

05:41Okay.

05:45I bet you can sing too.

05:47I bet you have a fucking secret singing talent.

05:50Is she telling the truth?

05:52Inconclusive.

05:52That's not fucking true!

05:54No, because you're like all like shy about it.

05:57I have stage fright.

05:59You've starred in several musicals throughout your career.

06:01Would you consider yourself a theater dork?

06:04No.

06:05That was also inconclusive.

06:06I'm not, I, I, I, Joseph and the magazines call their dreamcoats.

06:10Uh, you know, I know Les Mis.

06:13Do you have dreams of ever starring on Broadway?

06:15Nope.

06:17That was a lie.

06:19Fuck that shit!

06:21I, I have stage fright too.

06:23We've talked about this.

06:24Yeah, I know!

06:24I can't do it.

06:25I don't want to ruin my life.

06:26I don't want to take Adamant every day of my life for six months.

06:29No, it'd be horrible.

06:29And you know what else?

06:30You have to go outside every night, whether you're in a bad mood or not.

06:33And you have to kill it.

06:35No, no, outside every night and take pictures.

06:37Oh, I would just stay and sleep inside.

06:39You can't.

06:39Why?

06:40You have to meet your fans.

06:41And it's good that they're there, but what if you're in a bad mood?

06:44And you're like crying, and then you have to go out and meet your fans.

06:46You could just be like, I'm so happy you're here, that's why I'm crying.

06:51Okay, was there any question you were afraid I was going to ask you?

06:55Yeah, I'm scared of the unknown.

06:58But like, it's, it's like a, it could have been anything, you know.

07:02Did you lie at any point during this interview and we didn't catch you?

07:05Um, I did not, I did not.

07:08Okay, she's being truthful.

07:09Oh, so what does that mean about my sweating?

07:13What does that mean?

07:15Well, you got caught on that one.

07:17Yeah, you, you got caught, you didn't lie.

07:20Okay.

07:21Well, listen, listen, it is nuanced.

07:22I do sweat sometimes.

07:24I sweated this morning.

07:25Am I sweating right now?

07:27Am I?

07:31Will it be able to detect my life through my boobs?

07:34Probably.

07:35This is scary.

07:36I know.

07:37Listen, you're not going to jail.

07:38Sydney, I'm going to ask you a few questions to calibrate the lie detector.

07:45Okay.

07:46Is your full name Sydney Bernice Sweeney?

07:48Yes.

07:49Is your birthday September 12th?

07:51Yes.

07:51And are you nervous?

07:53I'm really nervous.

07:54The machine has been calibrated.

07:56Okay, so our movie, The Housemaid, is based on a book by Frieda McFadden.

08:03I know you read the book, but be honest, did you actually read it before being cast?

08:11No.

08:13Do you think existing IP is the secret to a great movie?

08:17I think it can help build a really amazing world for fans.

08:21And is that why you've done several biopics?

08:23I've done several biopics because I really love being able to tap into other people's

08:29lives.

08:30And it's more interesting to me.

08:32Is it also because you don't want people to know the real you?

08:39I'm not sure.

08:42Answer it!

08:43I'm just kidding, sorry.

08:45That was truthful.

08:46Hey!

08:47I don't know.

08:48So far, so good?

08:49So far, so good.

08:50Okay.

08:51You are also adapting many books for your production company.

08:54Would you ever adapt any fanfic stories?

09:00Yeah, why not?

09:01Have you ever read any fanfiction stories based on you?

09:05I mean, honestly, I feel like all these headlines I read are just fanfiction stories about me.

09:10Yeah.

09:10And do you know what Archive of Our Own is?

09:15No.

09:16Should we read Archive of Our Own when we're done with it?

09:18Maybe we should check it out.

09:20You play the titular housemaid.

09:23What?

09:27I never thought of that word before.

09:30Who wrote this shit?

09:32We'll get to titular.

09:34You played the title role that the housemaid in our film.

09:38Can you tell me the last time you cleaned your own bathroom?

09:41I don't know.

09:41Well, I mean, I'll tidy up, but, like, I haven't cleaned my own bathroom.

09:47Have you swept your toilet lately?

09:49No.

09:50That was truthful.

09:51Yes.

09:52You've been playing a teenager in Euphoria for over six years.

09:55Does it mean you keep up with teen trends?

09:58I don't know if you can compare Euphoria to teen trends.

10:01Can you tell me what six to seven means?

10:05Am I saying that right?

10:06I don't know.

10:07Did we just confirm we're old?

10:09No, no, no, no.

10:10You're in a different category.

10:12You're still young.

10:14But we don't know what it means.

10:16Wait, is it six, seven, or 67?

10:17What is it?

10:18I also am old.

10:20Okay.

10:21But are you on TikTok?

10:22I am.

10:23Are you, would you consider yourself addicted?

10:25No.

10:27That was truthful.

10:28Okay.

10:28Oh, wow.

10:29You got a FIP?

10:30A For You page?

10:31What is on your FYP?

10:33Depends on what TikTok I'm on.

10:35If I'm on my private TikTok, my entire For You page is history, facts, and arts and crafts.

10:40And then if I'm on my Sid's Garage page, it's sadly a lot of hate about me.

10:47Sid's Garage?

10:49Is that your public TikTok?

10:51How is there bad stuff?

10:53It's content that you create.

10:54It's my For You page.

10:55Well, fuck.

10:56You were telling the truth.

10:58Fuck TikTok.

10:59You starred in a music video for the Rolling Stones.

11:02Are you a fan of theirs?

11:03Yes.

11:05Can you name three of their songs?

11:07I can't name any songs for anybody.

11:09Even if I listen to it a hundred times, I won't remember the name.

11:13Truthful.

11:13Yeah.

11:14So is doing their video the high-end version of wearing band tees?

11:18I mean, it's probably the coolest thing I could do for a band that I love.

11:23My mom was a huge fan, so it was kind of one of those really cool moments.

11:25You said in interviews that you can function on two hours of sleep.

11:29You don't drink coffee, and you only drink water.

11:31Yes.

11:32Now, be honest.

11:32Do you think you're better than all of us?

11:36No.

11:38That was deceptive.

11:43No, it's not true.

11:45You just think you're more disciplined then?

11:48No.

11:49Do you consider eight hours of sleep too much?

11:51No.

11:54Nothing's been truthful.

11:55I don't get it.

11:58Wait, okay, let's get to the truth.

12:00Do people who drink coffee and sleep too much give you the ick?

12:03Sometimes, yeah.

12:04That was truthful.

12:06Have I ever had coffee breath and it bothered you?

12:10I feel like yes.

12:11Oh, no!

12:13You're not so truthful.

12:15I'm sorry!

12:15Why the fuck didn't you tell me?

12:17I'm sorry!

12:18I have to go!

12:21I'm sorry!

12:22Do you have any vices?

12:24I'm addicted to candy.

12:24That is the truth.

12:27There's been a question on everyone's mind.

12:29I'm going to drink some coffee.

12:31Oh!

12:35There's been a question on everyone's minds recently, and I just have to ask, are your boobs real?

12:40Yes!

12:41Have you ever had any work done on them?

12:45No, I've never gotten any work done anywhere.

12:47That was truthful.

12:49Can I touch them?

12:50Sure.

12:51Sydney?

12:52Yeah?

12:53Did you lie at any point during this interview and we didn't catch you?

12:56No.

12:58That is truthful.

13:00So we win.

13:01We won.

13:02We all win.

13:03We're not going to jail.
