We’ve told some porkies in our time, but we’ve never actually faked an asthma attack for beneficial purposes. Enter: Amanda Seyfried!
Amanda has confessed that when at a Jordan Knight concert, she pretended to have an asthma attack just so that she could get a better seat. Hmmm, we can’t work out whether she’s naughty, or a secret genius?
The actress faked the attack in a bid to get the security guards attention, she was then whisked off to the VIP area showered in sympathy from the gig officials and the star managed to see her favourite New Kids on the Block member up close! The Mamma Mia actress says,
"I was into boy bands in general... I was really shy but I did actually fake an asthma attack to get to the front of the concert. Which is really not common for me. “ Oh sure, we bet she feels really bad about it. The star went on to reveal her plan of action,
"I got really claustrophobic and I was like packed in with all these girls, and there was a Vip area just feet away from me. So I screamed to my friends, that were three people back, 'Do you guys have my inhaler? I don't know where my inhaler is!' And then some security guard heard me, picked me up and put me in the Vip section of a Jordan Knight concert, thank you very much! I felt guilty but whatever."
We suppose if we were a good enough actress with a very pretty face we might try the stint too. We think we’ll stick to attending Take That gigs and crying all the way up in the nosebleed section, for the time being anyway.
