"Amanda Seyfried has admitted that she needs &amp;quot;liquid courage&amp;quot; before appearing on talkshows. Speaking on The Late Show with David Letterman on Tuesday (December 11), Seyfried revealed that she was &amp;quot;pretty drunk&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;To be honest with you, Dave, I&amp;#039;ve had about three [drinks],&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;[I&amp;#039;m a] big fan of whiskey, and I love Midleton. Russell Crowe gave me some Midleton for my birthday. I had some of that before I got here, and then your lovely colleagues had some Jameson waiting for me.&amp;quot; Seyfried explained that she needs some Dutch courage before her appearances because she gets stage fright. &amp;quot;I have to go on record saying I&amp;#039;ve never done a live television show after noon without some kind of liquid courage,&amp;quot; she joked. &amp;quot;I understand that I have a problem maybe, but you know what? It really gets me through. And I really want to enjoy my experience out here because it&amp;#039;s special.&amp;quot;   Seyfried laughed off Letterman&amp;#039;s suggestion that she could end up in rehab and admitted that viewers probably wouldn&amp;#039;t notice a difference if she hadn&amp;#039;t had a drink. &amp;quot;I think my internal life would be different - you wouldn&amp;#039;t notice a difference,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I just, I&amp;#039;m super nervous when I&amp;#039;m on stage. I have stage fright. I&amp;#039;ve never done a Broadway show or a show in general, and I think one day I&amp;#039;m going to have to learn to live without it.&amp;quot; Seyfried&amp;#039;s new movie Les Mis\u00C3\u00A9rables will be released on December 25 in the US and January 11, 2013 in the UK.
