She explained she was 'just f***ing around really' when she filmed the video, which was posted in January 2023, and posted it. About her actual audition and not landing the role, the Mamma Mia! star — who revealed the reason why she left Hollywood to live on a farm — also shared her thoughts.

'I went hard for that, for sure,' Seyfried admitted. 'And it was a very long process.

'I was doing a Lancôme shoot in Long Island City. Elizabeth Stewart [was] my stylist.'. She continued: 'I was not auditioning for Wicked yet, but I knew it was, like, coming up. So I was just f***ing around really, and I was like, "This dress is so Glinda. And Elizabeth was like, "Do it." And then she posted at some point.'.
