Amanda Seyfried opens up about transforming into Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes—and embracing both their similarities and differences for the role.
’s Holmes is a doggedly ambitious blonde who practices talking in the mirror—first coming up with small talk for college parties, later devising inspiring speeches for Silicon Valley moneybags and the media, repeating the same question over and over: “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?” Her drive to succeed at all costs bleeds into full-blown delusion, as it becomes increasingly clear that her miraculous technology is based on a lie.
] And she succeeded for a long time with these characteristics—well, what would you call those things? Idiosyncrasies? Flare?cadenceAny actor would have a treasure chest of things to draw from. There’s just no lack of things to study, and that made it a lot easier to imagine myself playing her…. There’s footage of Elizabeth Holmes for 10 hours listening and answering questions as herself, but knowing she’s being watched.
On this job, there was a really awkward moment on set where we were all sitting around and someone started talking about something that was incredibly uncomfortable, and they all looked at me to see my reaction. And, of course, that was just like. Like I was just listening, as if nothing weird was happening, because that’s what I’m used to doing.
