With awards season buzz building around her surprise appearance in “You Can See Everything,” the actress talks about Hollywood’s aversion to risk and life on her upstate New York Farm.

It’s an exciting day at Amanda Seyfried’s house: the special emu fence is going up.

Home for the actor is a farm in upstate New York where she cares after numerous animals, from goats and donkeys to peacocks and, in a matter of days, emus. Who, by the way, require a specific fence of seven-to-nine feet high to overcome their vertical leap.

The seasonal shift has arrived on her property, and she’s doing some prepping for winter (and planning her annual Halloween party).

“It’s just making sure that we’re keeping everything as consistent as possible as the weather changes for the animals. I don’t know — it seems so intuitive and it doesn’t feel to me like it’s a lot of work,” Seyfried says from the farm. “Nature takes ownership of its transition.”

The 40-year-old is spending much of her time at home these days, letting her recent projects roll out and awaiting what’s next, save for the odd Tiffany campaign or festival appearance. She’s prioritizing time with her two children, a return to music and a clear focus of what motivates her (good writing, yes, producing not so much). She’s also in the most talked-about film of the moment, Nathan Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary “You Can See Everything,” where she takes on a surprise role as both herself and Holmes, revisiting her portrayal of the Theranos founder from the 2022 Hulu show “The Dropout” (this interview was conducted prior to the documentary’s release).
