Amanda Seyfried has shut down rumors that her viral cover of Joni Mitchell’s “California” was an intended audition to play the folk singer in a future biopic.
During an appearance last week on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Seyfried showed off both her vocal talents and dulcimer playing abilities with a pitch-perfect rendition of Mitchell’s 1971 classic. A clip of her performance has since gone viral on TikTok, leading several fans to speculate that the Mamma Mia! star was throwing her name into the running to play the 81-year-old icon in Cameron Crowe’s forthcoming biopic.
