Amanda Seyfried admits she lost sympathy for Elizabeth Holmes after spending months trying to understand her for The Dropout. Amanda Seyfried: “The only research I didn’t do was meet her. I had many, many, many, 10 hours of deposition tapes, in terms of the voice and the mannerisms, and the way she speaks, and how she uses her mouth, and her hands, and even to the way she listened.” “This was like, I was rich with information of this person being themselves.” “My job as an actor is to connect and relate to as much as possible and have compassion for my character. Or I’m not going to be able to do it.” “When I was finished with the show, I struggled finding any compassion anymore because I used it all up, which I didn’t expect.” “It was really hard to not, like, be so angry with her by the time I stopped shooting, and I was not expecting that. She fucked up so hard.”
