Sydney Sweeney & Amanda Seyfried Take Lie Detector Tests

You've said in interviews

that you can function on two hours of sleep.

You don't drink coffee and you only drink water.

[Sydney] Yes. Now be honest.

Do you think you're better than all of us?

[all laughing]

No.

It's deceptive.

[all laughing]

No, that's not true.

Do you consider eight hours of sleep too much?

No.

Nothing's been truthful.

[all laughing]

Wait, okay.

Let's get to the truth.

Amanda. Mm.

Sydney. Hi.

[Moderator] We brought you here today

to take a lie detector test.

One of you will be hooked up to the machine

while the other will ask the questions,

and then you'll switch.

This is Stephanie, our polygraph operator.

[Sydney] Hi.

[Amanda] Hello. Thank you.

[Moderator] Who wants to be in the hot seat first?

I'll do it.

You will? Mm-hmm.

[Sydney inhales deeply] Okay.

[dramatic music] [machine clicking]

Oh, I get it.

This is serious stuff.

I don't sweat.

[Amanda breathing deeply]

To begin, I'm gonna ask you a few questions

to calibrate the machine.

Is your full name Amanda Michelle Seyfried?

Yes.

[Sydney] Are you about to take a polygraph test?

Yes.

[Sydney] Are you nervous?

Mm hm. [Amanda laughing]

Stephanie, Are we ready to go?

The machine has been calibrated.

Ah, okay. [dramatic music]

You auditioned to play Regina George in Mean Girls,

but you ended up being cast as Karen instead.

Do you think that was because you're too sweet

to be that mean?

No. Were you ever a mean girl

once you made it in Hollywood?

No. Was anyone ever mean to you

when you were starting out in Hollywood?

Ah ha.

Were you ever a mean girl in high school?

No.

I was a Karen.

That's why I got the role, I swear to God.

I was a Karen.

I was.

It looks like so far you've been truthful.

Okay.

Oh my God.

[Sydney laughing]

Okay, you recently spoke about having no regrets

in turning down the role of Gamora in the MCU.

Do you wish I had consulted you before joining the MCU?

No, because I just didn't wanna sit around

getting painted for more hours than my acting time.

So I would've, no matter what said, you know,

and I haven't seen your Marvel movie.

Have you seen it?

No. Is it true

that you asked your stylist

if you could borrow this person's exact outfit

at the Venice Film Festival?

I did.

Did you have to run it by Julia first?

We did, yeah.

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

Yeah.

If I asked you to switch outfits with me right now,

would you do it?

Yes, unless you sweated. I don't sweat.

Okay, me either.

She's lying. [Sydney screaming]

That's fucking fucked up.

I do not sweat.

[Sydney] What does it say now?

I used to not sweat.

There's a lot of untruth.

Ah!

Amanda!

Maybe in my butt hole, but like not under my arms.

Was that true?

Inconclusive.

[both laughing]

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

Yes.

Have you ever borrowed something and never gave it back?

I'm sure.

No, but I used to borrow my best friend

who I'm so best friends with,

I used to borrow her stuff at school

because I would sing in like the talent shows or something,

and her outfits were always nicer than mine,

and she would let me borrow them, but she always sweated.

Oh. And you know

what that feels like?

[Sydney] No.

I'm traumatized.

Was that true?

She is telling the truth.

Can I tell you something about Julia?

I don't think she sweats.

True.

She's telling the truth.

Just a hunch.

Oh God, I don't sweat.

I mean, I do sometimes.

People are obsessed with the drunken photos

taken at the 2007 Mama Mia wrap party.

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

I mean, it was one of 'em, yeah.

[Sydney] Be honest.

Who of your three dads

do you wish you could party with tonight?

Colin, not to say I don't love all three of them,

so, so, so much.

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

Yeah.

So I once took my whole team

to the Mama Mia party dinner experience in London.

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

No, it's not a bit weird.

It's very cute.

Thank God you liked it.

I'm such a big fan.

Thank God you like it.

Have you ever been to the dinner experience?

No, but I would, and I would go not incognito

'cause I'd be like.

Oh, people would freak out.

I know, but I like it.

I like when people come up and say they like Mama Mia.

That was truthful.

You said in October of 2024

that you hadn't seen a script for Mama Mia 3.

Is that still true?

Still true. Is that true?

Truthful.

Do you still think this person

That's what you guys think.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Would be the best choice

to play your daughter in the film?

No, if I, they aged me up, yes.

It would be really fantastic to work with her,

but I'm not ready to be 60.

Could I be your random sister in the new film?

Yes, you, hold on, how old are you?

28.

[Amanda] How old is she?

I don't know, I think same age as me.

Maybe a few years younger.

I think I would have to be 50

in order for that to make sense.

[Sydney] Yeah.

And I don't want to play 50 yet.

I'm happy playing 40.

And yeah, you should be in it.

Was that true?

That was.

Oh my God. [Sydney laughing]

Okay.

I bet you can sing too.

I bet you have a fucking secret singing talent.

Is she telling the truth?

Inconclusive.

[Sydney laughing]

That is not fucking true.

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

Well, I have stage fright.

You've starred in several musicals throughout your career.

Would you consider yourself a theater dork?

No.

That was also inconclusive.

I'm not.

Joseph and the Amazing Color Dream Coats,

You know, I know Les Mis.

Do you have dreams of ever starring on Broadway?

Nope. That was a lie.

Fuck that shit.

I have stage fright too.

We've talked about this.

[Sydney] Yeah, I know.

I can't do it.

I don't wanna ruin my life.

I don't wanna take Ativan every day of my life.

[Sydney] No.

For six months.

[Sydney] It would be horrible.

And you know what else?

You have to go outside every night,

whether you're in a bad mood or not,

and take pictures.

And you have to kill it.

No, no, outside every night and take pictures.

Oh, I would just stay and sleep inside.

[Sydney] You can't. Why?

You have to meet your fans,

and it's good that they're there,

but what if you're in a bad mood

and you're like crying

and then you have to go out and meet your fans?

You could just be like, I'm so happy you're here.

That's why I'm crying. [both laughing]

Okay, was there any question

you were afraid I was gonna ask you?

Yeah, I'm scared of the unknown, but like it's fair.

It's like a, it could have been anything, you know?

Did you lie at any point during this interview

and we didn't catch you?

I did not.

I did not.

Okay, she's being truthful.

Oh, so what does that mean about my sweating?

What does that mean?

[Stephanie] Well, you got caught on that one so.

[Sydney] Yeah, you got caught.

You did lie.

Oh, okay, well listen, listen, it is nuanced.

I do sweat sometimes.

I sweated this morning.

Am I sweating right now?

Am I?

[Sydney laughing]

Will it be able to detect my lie through my boobs?

Probably.

This is scary.

I know.

Listen, you're not going to jail.

[dramatic music]

Sydney, I'm going to ask you a few questions

to calibrate the lie detector.

Okay.

Is your full name Sydney Bernice Sweeney?

Yes.

Is your birthday September 12th?

Yes. And are you nervous?

I'm really nervous.

The machine has been calibrated.

Okay. [Sydney laughing]

Okay, so our movie The Housemaid

is based on a book by Frieda McFadden.

I know you read the book, but be honest,

did you actually read it before being cast?

No.

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

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

And is that why you've done several biopics?

I've done several biopics

'cause I really love being able to tap into

other people's lives, and it's more interesting to me.

Is it also because you don't want people

to know the real you?

[Sydney laughing]

I'm not sure.

Answer it.

Just kidding, sorry,

That was truthful.

Hey!

I don't know.

[Amanda] So far so good?

So far so good.

Okay. You are also adapting

many books for your production company.

Would you adapt any Fan fic stories?

Yeah, why not?

Have you ever read any fan fiction stories based on you?

I mean, honestly, I feel like all these headlines I read

are just fan fiction stories about me.

Good, yeah.

[Amanda] And do you know what Archive of Our Own is?

No.

Should we read Archive of Our Own

when we're done with this?

Maybe we should check it out.

You play the titular housemaid.

[both laughing]

What?

I never thought of that word before.

Who wrote this shit?

We'll get to tits later.

You played the the title role

that the housemaid in our film.

Can you tell me the last time

you cleaned your own bathroom?

I don't know.

Well, I mean, I'll tidy up,

but like I haven't cleaned my own bathroom in awhile.

Have you scrubbed your toilet lately?

No.

That was truthful.

Yes.

You've been playing a teenager in Euphoria

for over six years.

Does it mean you keep up with teen trends?

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

Can you tell me what six to seven means?

Am I saying that right?

No, I don't know.

Did we just confirm we're old?

No, no, no, no, don't, you're in a different category.

You're still young.

But we don't know what it means.

Wait, is it six seven or six to seven?

What is it?

I also am old.

Okay, but are you on TikTok?

I am.

Are you, would you consider yourself addicted?

No.

That was truthful.

[Amanda] Okay. Oh, wow.

You got a FYP?

A for you page?

[Amanda] What is on your FYP?

Depends on what TikTok I'm on.

If I'm on my private TikTok,

my entire for you page is history facts and arts and crafts.

And then if I'm on my Syd's Garage Page,

it's sadly a lot of hate about me.

Syd's Garage, is that your public TikTok?

How is there bad stuff?

It's content that you create.

It's just my For You Page.

Well, Fuck TikTok.

You were telling the truth.

Fuck TikTok.

You starred in a music video

for the Rolling Stones.

Are you a fan of theirs?

Yes.

Can you name three of their songs?

I can't name any songs for anybody,

even if I listen to it 100 times.

[Amanda] It's true.

I won't remember the name.

[Sydney] Truthful. Yeah.

So was doing the video

the high end version of wearing Band Tees?

I mean, it's probably the coolest thing I could do

for a band that I love.

My mom was a huge fan,

so it was kind of one of those really cool moments.

You've said in interviews

that you can function on two hours of sleep.

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

[Sydney] Yes. Now be honest.

Do you think you're better than all of us?

[Sydney laughing]

No.

That was deceptive.

Ah! [both laughing]

No, that's not true.

You just think you're more disciplined then?

No.

Do you consider eight hours of sleep too much?

No!

Nothing's been truthful.

[Sydney laughing]

Wait, okay, let's get to the truth.

Do people who drink coffee and sleep too much

give you the ick?

Sometimes, yeah.

That was truthful.

Have I ever had coffee breath and it bothered you?

I feel like, yes.

Oh no.

Also truthful.

I'm sorry.

Why the fuck didn't you tell me?

I'm sorry.

I don't know.

I have to go.

I'm sorry.

Do you have any vices?

I'm addicted to candy.

That is the truth.

There's been a question on everyone's mind.

I'm gonna drink some coffee.

[Sydney] No, ho. [both laughing]

There's been a question on everyone's minds recently,

and I just have to ask, are your boobs real?

[Sydney laughing]

Yes.

Have you ever had any work done on them?

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

That was truthful.

Can I touch 'em? Sure.

[Sydney] Sydney? Yeah.

Did you lie at any point during this interview

and we didn't catch you?

No.

That is truthful. So we win.

We won. We won.

We all win.

We're not going to jail. Today.

Today, she's submitting these.
