Amanda Seyfried clarifies no audition for Joni Mitchell biopic

Amanda Seyfried has denied that her recent cover of Joni Mitchell's song "California" was an audition for a biopic about the singer. She stated she is too old to play a young Joni Mitchell. Seyfried performed the cover on The Tonight Show, which led to fans and celebrities suggesting she should play the role. However, she clarified that she did not intend for the performance to be seen as an audition. A Joni Mitchell biopic is in development, directed by Cameron Crowe. While Meryl Streep has been rumored to portray an older Mitchell, no casting has been confirmed.
