Amanda Seyfried Shares Tricky Detail in The Dropout Performance

Did this detail catch your eye? Blink and you’ll miss it!

Amanda Seyfried‘s portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu’s The Dropout has gotten loads of positive attention, particularly for Seyfried’s spot-on imitation of the entrepreneur’s voice.

But on the April 5 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actress revealed a far trickier attribute of Holmes’ that she had to master. 

“Is it true that…she just started not blinking?” host Jimmy Fallon asked.

“Yeah,” Seyfried replied.

“She read that in some book,” Jimmy continued, “if you blink, it’s a sign of weakness or something.”

“Yeah, something like that, like, you’re not listening ” Seyfried responded, adding that Holmes purposely didn’t blink in order to tell people, “I’m invested in you, I want to know what you’re saying.”  

The series follows the true tale of ambition and fame gone terribly wrong and how the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire lost it all in the blink of an eye. Well, or lack thereof.
