The Dropout's Amanda Seyfried and Naveen Andrews admit they're still obsessed with the Theranos story

Variety

Seyfried said at a Variety For Your Consideration event Monday that she was done with Elizabeth Holmes after filming was completed. “And then it creeped back in as we started doing press for the show," she says, "and then my interest was piqued again just after New Year’s she was convicted....I think it’s just because it was intense for me. It’s never going to be as intense as it was for her… but as for our purposes of our story, I gave it my all and I had a really amazing time doing it and I needed a break. I think about it often, like ‘What did you know? What is she inventing right now? What is she thinking about?’” Andrews admits he, too, can't shake the story. “I can’t deny that having inhabited these people as characters, you’re now emotionally involved. I feel emotionally involved,” he says. “And so yes, I am following what’s happening. I can’t help it. And of course, that would never have happened if I’d just been a regular member of the public hearing about it in the media.” Meanwhile, The Dropout creator Liz Meriwether reiterated that “I’m done with the story! I obviously will be interested to see what happens and I’m sure everybody in my life will text me every new development, which is what happens now. But I spent three years on this, and I really feel like (moving on).”
