Sydney Sweeney & Amanda Seyfried Take Lie Detector Tests | Vanity Fair

You said in interviews that you can function on two hours of sleep. You don't drink coffee and you only drink water. Yes. Now be honest. Do you think you're better than all of us? No. It's deceptive. No, it's not true. Do you consider eight hours of sleep too much? No. Nothing's been truthful. Let's get to the truth. Amanda. Sydney. Hi. 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. Hi. Hello. Who wants to be in the hot seat first? I'll do it. You will? Mm-hmm. Oh, I get it. This is serious stuff. I don't sweat. To begin, I'm going to ask you a few questions to calibrate the machine. Okay. Is your full name Amanda Michelle Cyphers? Yes. Are you about to take a polygraph test? Yes. Are you nervous? Mm-hmm. Stephanie, are we ready to go? The machine has been calibrated. Ah! Okay. 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? Uh-huh. 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. Okay. You recently spoke about having no regrets and 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 want to sit around getting painted for more hours than my acting time. So I would have 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? I 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. That is ******* fucked up. I do not sweat. I used to not sweat. There's a lot of untruth. Ah! Amanda! Maybe in my butthole, but like not under my arms. Is that true? Inconclusive. 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? No. I'm traumatized. Is 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 Mamma Mia rap party. Was that party the best party you've ever been to? Man, it was one of them, yeah. 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 Mamma Mia party dinner experience in London. Do you find that a bit weird that I'm a big fan? It's not a bit weird. It's very cute. 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 because I'd be like. Oh, my God. People would freak out. I know, but I like it. I like when people come up and say they like Mamma Mia. That was truthful. You said in October of 2024 that you hadn't seen a script for Mamma 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. 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. Hold on. How old are you? 28. How old is she? I don't know. I think the same age as me. Maybe a few years younger. I think I would have to be 50 in order for that to make sense. 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. Okay. I bet you can sing too. I bet you have a ******* secret singing talent. Is she telling the truth? Inconclusive. That is not ******* true. No, because you're like all like shy about it. I am. Well, I'm 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. I, I, I, Joseph and the Masons called her Dreamcoats. Uh, you know, I know Les Mis. Do you have dreams of ever starring on Broadway? Nope. That was a lie. ****. That. Shit. I. I have stage fright too. We've talked about this. Yeah, I know. I can't do it. I don't want to ruin my life. I don't want to take Ataman every day of my life. No. For six months. 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. I need to kill it. No, no, outside every night. Oh. Take pictures. Oh. I would just stay and sleep inside. 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. Okay, was there any question you were afraid I was going to ask you? Yeah, I'm scared of the unknown. But 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. Okay, she's being truthful. Oh, so what does that mean about my sweating? What does that mean? Well, you got caught on that one. Yeah, you got caught. You didn't lie. Okay. Listen, listen. It is nuanced. I do sweat sometimes. I sweated this morning. Am I sweating right now? Am I? Will it be able to detect my lie through my boobs? Probably. This is scary. I know. Listen, you're not going to jump. 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. Okay, so our movie The Housemaid is based on a book by Freda 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 because 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? I'm not sure. Answer it! Just kidding. Sorry. That was truthful. Hey! I don't know. So far so good? So far so good. Okay. You are also adapting many books for your production company. Would you ever adapt any fanfic stories? Yeah, why not? Have you ever read any fanfiction stories based on you? I mean, honestly, I feel like all these headlines I read are just fanfiction stories about me. Yeah. 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. Who wrote this ----? We'll get to tits later! You played the title role of 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 I haven't cleaned my own bathroom in a while. Have you scrubbed your toilet lately? No. That was truthful. Yes. You've been playing a teenager in Euphoria for over six years. Does that 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? Did I say that right? I don't know. Did we just confirm we're old? No, no, no, no. 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. Would you consider yourself addicted? No. That was truthful. Okay, good. Oh, wow. You got a FIP? A For You page? What is on your FIP? 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 Sid's Garage page, it's sadly a lot of hate about me. Sid's Garage? Is that your public TikTok? How is there bad stuff? It's the content that you create. Well, ****. TikTok? You were telling the truth. ****. 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 a hundred times, I won't remember the name. Truthful. Yeah. So is doing their 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 said in interviews that you can function on two hours of sleep. You don't drink coffee and you only drink water. Yes. Now, be honest. Do you think you're better than all of us? No. That was deceptive. No, it'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. 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! You're not listening to me. Also truthful. I'm sorry! Why the **** didn't you tell me? I'm sorry! 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 going to drink some coffee. Oh! There's been a question on everyone's minds recently and I just have to ask. Are your boobs real? 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 them? Sure. 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 all win. We're not going to jail. Today. Today! She's submitting these.
