Amanda Seyfried Reveals Her Favorite Eminem Track During Chat with Sydney Sweeney

Amanda Seyfried revealed that Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” is her all-time favourite song during a playful new interview segment with Sydney Sweeney. The two actresses appeared together in Close Friends Only: Speed Round, an Instagram-exclusive video series that gives fans quick glimpses into celebrities’ tastes, quirks, and off-camera personalities.

The clip, posted Wednesday on Instagram’s official account, teased their upcoming collaboration. The caption read: “Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney are bringing ‘The Housemaid’ to the big screen. The Housemaid movie stars spill their must-read books, dream jobs outside of acting (puppy nurse, anyone?!) and their hot takes on voice messages in Close Friends Only: Speed Round.”

The video, which quickly collected thousands of likes, shows Sweeney and Seyfried seated side by side, answering a rapid-fire set of questions. The tone is light and relaxed, highlighting their chemistry as co-stars as they joke, react to each other’s answers, and reveal some surprising favourites. Seyfried’s immediate answer of “Lose Yourself” stood out as one of the more enthusiastic responses. Her pick struck a chord with viewers, who flooded the comments with approval for the 2002 classic.

Sweeney and Seyfried are currently promoting The Housemaid, the film adaptation of Freida McFadden’s bestselling psychological thriller. The movie brings the tense, twist-filled story to life with a high-profile cast and a director who knows how to balance drama and dark humour. Paul Feig, best known for Bridesmaids, directed the film from a screenplay by Rebecca Sonnenshine.

The original novel became a viral sensation due to its sharp twists and addictive pacing, making it a natural fit for a screen adaptation. Fans of the book have been eager for updates on the film, and the Instagram segment offered a rare behind-the-scenes moment that showcased the rapport between the two leads. Their easy banter in the video has already sparked excitement about how their dynamic will translate on-screen, especially given the intense material of the story.

The interview also gave fans a chance to see more of Sweeney and Seyfried’s personal sides. They discussed books they think everyone should read, alternative dream careers—one jokingly named “puppy nurse” as a possible profession and their feelings about voice messages. The playful format and intimate tone of the series made the segment feel more like a conversation between friends than a typical promotional interview.
