The casting really did Sunny a favor.
Elizabeth too lol
Can’t make a brown man look bad or evil at alllll in this new era of woke 🤷♂️ even if it spits in the face of truth in this specific crime
actors are like regular people, just way hotter
@@nightmoose true lol
Casting did both of them a favor.
Naveen is so terrific. Please cast him more!!!
Yes. He's fantastic
Glad he got off of that island
Naveen is the next Gustavo Fring!👍👍
@@chrisspicer9484 lmao!!!
he’s amazing in sense8 :) brilliant show
Amanda did a great job of “humanizing” EH, which bothered me at first, but made the unfolding train wreck irresistible to watch. Naveen was equally superb as Sunny.
I don't think neither she or series intended to humanize EH though.
I don't think anyone could truly protray how insidious EH was. For context, she was as convincing as an award winning actress such as Amanda.
"If your name is Sunny, why aren't you white?"
"Oh my God, Elizabeth, you can't just ask someone why they're not white"
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
@@EriiikaGuerra I'm glad I amuse you.
😂😂😂
I appreciate how respectful Amanda is to the real person behind the character she plays, whether or not she believed she was a good person
avoiding defamation suit
@@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL oh is that what she's doing? Because I was a little shocked at the positive way she talks about Holmes. I think she perfectly portrayed a person without empathy
@@sofiaguicking81 I’m not talking about her performance. She’s limited in how much she can comfortably talk about EH here…
@@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL sofia was also taking about Amanda's interviews, reread the comment... The second sentence was just sharing her opinion on performance, unrlated to the issue discussed here.
Really? You appreciate her whitewashing amoral sociopathic fradulent criminal and calling her ''amazing'' and ''brilliant''? Respecting the person who does not deserve our respect?
Naveen gives me chills! He is terrific in that role.
I had such a visceral hatred for him as Bulwani and yet he also terrified me, lol. He’s a great actor. They both are!
When you hate the character so much, you praise the actor portraying it. 👏
I cannot believe naveen sounds like this. He really made me believe he was Sunny. Great actor
He’s British.
I was on set with her and she was so sweet to the production and everyone else, amazing actress!!!❤️❤️❤️
You lucky man!
i have a girl crush on her! lucky guy!
You’re so lucky I love her!!!
I have always suspected that Amanda was a complete sweetheart in real-life and glad to know I was right! I wish she would do a recent video with her adorable dog Finn! It's been too long!
That never happened... never happened at all.
Is it me or does Amanda Seyfried can still pass as a teen - 20 year old person ?
Technically she did pass as a Teen portraying Elizabeth as a teen in The Dropout.
She’s still Karen Smith
Which is why I think Amanda was a better option than Kate.
Anyways
If I was an actress
I can pass like a late teenager tru early 40 with minimal make up.
But my hair styles need to be carefully choosen.
That’s what I was thinking during the first eps where Elizabeth was still a teen. She still passed. I think the used some sort of filter but even so, she still looks like she’s in her 20s.
@@tagaway6173 I can't even picture Kate playing this role. I'd never take her seriously enough. Plus Amanda is a much better actor
Naveen is the most beautiful human I have ever seen like seriously.
his voice in the dropout is incredible
Fell in love with him based on this interview alone. Good looking with great voice.
love him and he’s such a good actor
Amanda was FANTASTIC- the entire cast was fantastic. This was the most well done true story I have ever seen.
@Ellie Bouchard do you really believe that Walgreens CEO or whatever he was... "Dr J" was THAT silly and almost foolish acting? I kept asking myself that while watching his role. Like how can a Walgreens executive behave that way. Idk
@Ellie Bouchard yeahh you are probably right. Even the CFO seemed much smarter and more capable than Dr J.
What a crazy story this was and still is. I've been binging all kinds of interviews and reading articles !
Naveen has this charisma 🥵
Yikes, thought I was the only one
he’s so so fine
I wish I was the Elizabeth to his Sunny omgggg
I see part of the reason they cast these two into the roles of Holmes and Balwani was to make the love scenes between the two of them bearable and watchable.
In another interview he keeps looking at her and smiling, I think he is quite taken with her. They would make a cute couple, like a not evil Elizabeth and Sunny.
@@LS-hu1lm Yes, I saw that! So sweet.
@@LS-hu1lm Amanda is married!
@@wowitzholly lol
Well, there's a market for everything. There's 'strange porn' out there with an audience.
Amanda and Naveen did a wonderful job portraying Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani. Very authentic and believable. Well done!
I love these two. Amanda is adorable and Naveen will always be Sayid from "LOST" to me.
I miss Lost soooo much! But he was good in The English Patient, too
i’m the worst lost fan because i didn’t even recognize that was Sayid until episode 2 😩
So many people in these comments don’t understand that empathizing with Holmes and putting herself in her shoes is literally Amanda’a job as an actor.
Is she acting in this interview? Does she need to be compassionate and emphathize to have an opinion or speak the truth during an interview as Amanda Seyfriend and NOT Elizabeth Holmes? No. I have to respectfully disagree with you, here.
@@michelleminer2190 I feel like you’re overthinking it while also not understanding what I’m saying.
@@michelleminer2190 i agree. Listening to Amanda i almost wondered if she even understood what Holmes had done.. how she conned and caused a suicide.. You can be neutral as an actress, but you’re also a human being, so while you dont need to speak ill of Elizabeth, the tone can show us that you actually understand the magnitude of this case. But i wasn’t sure. It sounded more like she found it thrilling to play this driven character who created something “brilliant” except it didnt work hence it wasnt so brilliant
That’s not her job as an actress. Her job is to portray accuracy. She sounded really impressed by her which is the wrong message to teach folks
@@jubileeekins I don’t know how to explain to you that actors have to understand the intentions and inner workings of the person they are portraying. That’s HOW they portray the character lol
Love Amanda but don't love how she's fawning over Elizabeth in this clip. Elizabeth didn't want to change the world, she wanted to be the next Steve Jobs. If she really cared about the outcome of Theranos, she would've been honest about the issues the product was facing and use that investor money to hire the best scientists to improve outcomes. She kept telling these huge lies when she didn't have to, all so she could get praise and more money. She was and is sociopathic.
Yeah i love Amanda a lot too but the way she comes off in interviews about Elizabeth can be perceived as if she's making excuses for her and all but she said many times she should be held accountable.
it bothered me too ....Elizabeth is a horrible person
She's not fawning over her. She's implying that Holmes originally did want to change the world for the better but got way out of her depth and started making ethically indefensible choices to avoid accepting that Theranos had been a failure. As much as anything, Holmes was a spoiled rich kid who had been insulated from true consequences and had no idea how to deal with them when they arrived.
Right I don't get why she would wish her well especially knowing all she knows about what Holms did. She didn't innocently commit these crimes. Holms knew full well what she was doing. She wanted to be rich and adored that's all and she hired people to intimidate and scare anyone who was willing to tell the truth about Theranos. She is not an innocent person. I hope she gets enough jail time to pay for her fraudulent ways.
Her feminist programing is on display. Blame sociopathic women on men. How convenient
Anyone fall in love with Naveen in that wedding dance scene from Bride and Prejudice? 😂
Yeeeah, right, thanks for reminding. I kept wondering and couldn't remember where did I see Balwani's actor
Absolutely thrilled to see Naveen!!!! This is such an amazing show both have done amazingly, I’m hooked !
They are killing it! Obsessed with this series!
BOTH OF THEM ARE SOOOO GOOD ACTORS ITS INSANE
So weird how Naveen went from a good looking youngish man to an older Indian uncle in the dropout
Syaid to Sunny Balwane!
I just finished the series nd I must say that i thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Well written, well acted and well executed by the entire staff!
Jesus I haven't seen Naveen since "Lost", how can he be even hotter now that he's older Jesus Christttt
They’re both incredibly talented! So happy to see them perform so well on The Dropout - excellent quality
She almost looks the same as she did in means girls
I like when she speaks cautiously because she is playing a real person.
Amanda you have done a great job...kudos to the whole team...loving the show. 💝
OMG it’s Sayid from LOST. Haven’t seen him in forever!!
omg that’s where i recognized him holy cow
It is unbelievable how Amanda's eyes projected a lot on the serie. Here , she has such a sweet look and so at peace.
brilliant! i love them both even more after this interview
They both did a great job on their characters 👏
these two did an incredible job on The Dropout! I binged until i had to go to bed. Can't wait to watch more tomorrow! 💐😍🤗
The Dropout was an absolute tour-de-force. It was so intense I had to watch it in chunks. Glad it got the recognition it deserved. Not a nice story in a lot of ways, but fascinating, and important to never forget.
Naaven has a really beautiful and magical presence
Oh, I didn't know Naveen Andrews was in this. Now I'm going to watch it.
He portrayed Sunny in a more human way. The real Sunny was worse from what I've read.
The fact that this suave cigarette smoking trench coat wearing high fashion bad boy played a stoic grumpy indian uncle AAAAAAAH
I watched the shows and their acting was AMAZING so much like how Elizabeth and Sunny behave in public
I am literally diving into the series at this moment. Looking forward to it.
Amanda and Naveen are incredible
People believed Elizabeth Holmes because she had a truly innovative idea that could have been a game changer. I hope her idea gets developed by ethical and legal standards.
in 1966 the writers of star trek created the idea for the device...it's called a medical tricorder
and in fact, there were other start ups working on the idea and because she claimed to have already developed a working model....the money for those startups dried up
and now, none of them can get working capital because everyone thinks it's a hoax
for her...it was...from the start
@@thewkovacs316 that's pretty sad but also pretty crazy how she got that idea from a damn show
@@candypietravels it isnt crazy. many devices now in use were first seen on star trek. why it is one of the best scifi series in history.
that so few recognized that the idea was first shown on star trek is what is astounding.
and i do believe that someday it will be created....but it will take years and billions....not less than a decade and millions.
and there probably will never be a home version...because you still need medical experts to do diagnosis
even star trek recognized that...mccoy always ran the tests
Not to be a wise guy, but true experts say her idea is light years away, and possibly impossible in any amount of time. Just like making gold out of lead.
@@truthof7382 there are biomed companies working on similar devices. one is the piccolo xpress. cant do hundreds of tests...somewhere between 14 and 24.
only needs 0.1 cc of blood.
the damage that holmes did to the field is immeasurable as she caused those who are doing real research to lose funding.
Nareen Andrews a great actor
They were both so good in this great story. Amanda has such a beautiful smile. Loved her going back to Karin in the classic “Mean Girls”.
they are both such nice human beings
ughhhh i've had crushes on these two for so long
PHENOMENAL actors
This show is sooooo good
I am so excited for this show. Amanda is so good😍
Amanda seems biased in portraying Elizabeth.
Yes and I’m not sure why. Maybe she should have played or researched Erika Cheung’s role for a different insight.
Yeah. What the heck? Is she ok? It feels like she almost admires Holmes and who in their right mind would?
probably because she fully had to tap into her personality for months and doing that can make you realize how human someone actually is, even if the public views them as just a monster
The story of Theranos has a central question to it: Why would Elizabeth Holmes deceive so many people? What she did was very wrong but there is value in trying to understand why she did it. They are essentially answering that question through the tv series. Amanda is trying to be respectful. To play a living person is something that should be done with this kind of understanding, because it is very personal.
Yeah, to prevent future people from committing the same fraud and horrifying behaviors. At the end of the day, Elizabeth is responsible for her own actions and how she tried to obtain her dream...mentally ill, delusional or not.
Not personal when u try to fool whole world
Hurting people hurt people.
To me, the answer is very clear:
Holmes felt it was okay to lie about having Tech X working so long as she could use the money obtained from the lies to finally get Tech X working. That was the gamble she took, and it's not unusual in Silicon Valley. However, it IS unusual in the medical field, where lying about results can have very serious consequences.
Holmes also didn't understand the science well enough to know that the endeavor would almost certainly fail. She was an overconfident fantasist. To me the more interesting question is why so many investors who ought to have done far more due diligence simply failed to do so, and piled in with their cash. Lying ought to be able to take you only so far with such huge sums on the table.
I was amazed by the whole cast. Love Stephen Frye as Ian Gibbons, William Macy etc.
Amanda was phenomenal
I’m glad Neveen looks so different because Sunny was cringed out lol
@R.C. there was one scene where you could totally tell the belly was fake.
Oh no y’all I have a gut too. 😂 I was talking about Sunny in general. If he looked like the character I would held a grunge lol
i was repulsed at the sight of sunny, lmao, that’s how much of a good actor he is. the actor himself is actually pretty charming.
Amanda feels empathy for Elizabeth
He was very hot playing Sunny's character not gonna lie. I feel weird feelings and conflicted over this portrayl.
Naveen!? Guys its Sayid.
She's great 👍
Sayid!
I think they both did a great job. 👍
I think Nareen is hot 🥵
Sounds like Amanda is more supportive of the real Elizabeth Holmes than unbiased.
Yeah it bugs me soooo much!
Just so wrong
i don’t see it that way at alll, she’s just acknowledging Elizabeth’s humanity
Amazing ❤️🔥
Ugh I wish the series was longer!
The took some liberties with the casting 🤣🤣
she slays.
Excellent series 👏👌👍
I remember Naveen as Sayid from Lost.
Love her outfit
ayyy sunny fresh as hell!
Love how they're STILL socially distancing.
Naveen is looking like a snack in black!
Time for Amanda S to get the respect she deserves
Naveen is a great actor and his age is timeless. I remember when I first seen him play the role Raj in kamasutra, I was so convinced by his character I hated him lol
she is AMAZING! and from watching the show I would never have thought he was sexy. but he is!
Amanda was amazing in this. The voice and mannerism were spot on. At first, I didn't like how likable Elizbeth Holmes was in this portrayal. I didn't like that I was rooting for her. But it did make the whole thing very interesting.
Very charming and beautiful, if only I could find a way to watch this series.
Sell your soul to me and i may tell you how to watch it.
disney+
😂 drink the green juice 🧃
I'm sorry but clearly Elizabeth Holmes' purest intentions were greed and fame. The Dropout covered some of the ugliest things she did and made it a point to call out how she was covering up their faulty lab left and right...she was and is guilty AF. It's one thing if Amanda casually mentioned okay when she started her intentions were good and pure...sure, MAYBE, but that's clearly not where it went and that awful human Elizabeth is probably basking in the additional attention she is getting. Now the actress who played her is drooling over her? She doesn't deserve this!
she’s not drooling over her. she’s just acknowledging Elizabeth’s personality traits. People are complex as hell and although Elizabeth became an uncaring, entitled monster, I don’t think she started off that way completely.
Future Emmy winners🙌
They need to cancel the Jennifer Lawrence movie because Seyfried nailed the role to the coffin.
What Jennifer Lawrence movie?
@@ritaturner9906 she’s going to play Elizabeth Holmes directed by Adam McKay
Oscar awards for Hulu actors . Dropout and Tommy and Pam
Amanda and Naveen are so good looking, don't be surprised if you're rooting for Elizabeth and Sunny after watching this ....😊
loved Naveen since lost
I still see Elizabeth holmes in Amanda 🤦🏻♀️ she was so good!!
Damn I wish we have HULU here in Indonesia
The way she said “juicy” 😆
Please Hulu, we need a season 2.
I wanna see it cuz I’ve followed this story from the beginning and cuz Laurie Metcalfe is in it.
Naveen can get it
My guy I miss him from LOST
People have to understand that it's okay to be enamored by a role and fascinated by a person you played, but when that person is a true life fraud..(Amanda seems to think Elizabeth actually did what she set out to do.lol. I'm kidding but she's super excited like this isn't a years old failure), it's important to try to avoid describing the real life fraud you portrayed, as an amazing person who just wanted to be respected. Elizabeth crossed that line when she refused to take NO for an answer from the subject matter experts she hired to bring her vision to fruition. Was she intelligent, of course...she was and is also a narcissist socio who now speaks in her normal voice and actually blinks in court.
Empathizing with Holmes was Amanda Seyfried's job, yes. That's where it ends though. You can respectfully empathize with a person and also empathize with everyone she harmed without hailing her a hero. I would caution against making her seem like a wonderful person in the interview because a hero wouldn't have taken down a $9BN company, defrauded investors, knowingly allowed ppl to be misdiagnosed etc. A wonderful person definitely wouldn't have allowed someone to reach out to a freshly widowed woman to ask for her husband's Theranos documents/equipment back when he had very recently commited s*ic*de after being subpoenaed. Enough.
These women are great actresses but Amanda Seyfriend (and Elle Fanning after playing Michelle Carter) need better media training. Be happy you got the role, be happy you performed well, but chill out in the interviews about how misunderstood and disrespected these women were.
Exactly.
She is not cool, she knew what she was doing, and even if she didnt at the start, at one point she stopped caring about any ethical dilema. She is a selflish person that only cared for money, she stands as the worst aspect of a wealth and fame obssesed society.
“ I wish her well” WTF 😳, why is she defending Elizabeth Holmes
Bc she can. Just bc she doesn't see things your way doesn't make it wrong. Alot of famous people hurt people everyday in different ways and people still look up to them. Just bc elizabeth did what she did doesn't make her a bad person. She made some mistakes. She was 19 when she started. A teenager.
Bro being empathetic another human being is not the same as defending someone’s actions.
Naveen was great in this role. I have been impressed by how talented and charismatic he is since Lost series.
Someone should note that Seyfried is a petite woman--5' 3" or so--while Holmes is pretty, close to 5' 10." And Sunny is only 5' 5" while Andrews here is a good 6'. But a great show.
Holmes is 5'6' try again
@@itputsthelotionontheskin6138 You're full of baby diaper caca. She's at least 5' 9"--and the point is that the sizes are reversed in the show. Seyfried is probably less than 5' 3" while Andrews towers over her--though his fat suit fits well. Great episode 6
@@itputsthelotionontheskin6138 Okay, she's 5' 7" and that's official. Also official is that you're a tedious dweeb. But keep enjoying the show--and Sunny's trial going on right now here in S.F.
@@itputsthelotionontheskin6138 And you measured her? You forgot to provide a source? Google up "what is EH's height?" and you'll get 5' 7"..okay? Stop being a little bitch.
Why delete your comments? We all seen how wrong you was Nick. Keep it like a man baby!!!
Thumbs up to Amanda Seyfield and Naveen Andrews because they did research about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. Also, middle finger, or thumbs down to Elizabeth Holmes because she is a Sociopath and a weird minded freak of her child's imagination of becoming Steve Jobs.
Why does Amanda give any credit to Lizzie? It’s like saying Hitler wasn’t that bad- paleeeeeeeese!
I know right? Ugh!
@Miss Manawaka they are both narcissistic and liars. It’s overall a perfect comparison. And they both hurt people in any way, shape or form
I had such a crush on Naveen when Lost came out.. Sayid was so hot!
I think she humanized Holmes a lot more than she actually was and apparently, as shown here, that’s because Amanda believes she was innocent. She was definitely NOT innocent… She completely lied a lot (which wasn’t explicitly shown in the show). Maybe the show runners manipulated her into thinking she was innocent 🤷♂️
