Brenda Song, the beloved actress known for her iconic roles in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and Dollface, just dropped a bombshell with fans everywhere doing a double take. In a recent interview, Song admitted that she’s never watched one of her movies—and it’s not what you’d expect!
The movie in question? The Social Network, the critically acclaimed 2010 film where Song played Christy Lee, the ex-girlfriend of Eduardo Saverin (played by Andrew Garfield). Despite the film’s massive success and its status as a modern classic, Song revealed she’s never seen it.
“I can’t enjoy the film,” Song confessed with a laugh. “I’m so critical of myself that I just can’t sit through it. It’s like, ‘Why did I do that? Why did I say it like that?’ I’m my own worst critic.”
Fans were quick to react on social media, with many urging her to give the movie a chance. “Brenda, you were amazing in The Social Network! You’re seriously missing out,” one fan tweeted. Another added, “How can you not watch a movie that’s literally about Facebook? It’s iconic!”
What makes this revelation even more surprising is that The Social Network is often praised for its sharp writing, gripping performances, and direction by David Fincher. The film won three Oscars and was nominated for Best Picture, making it a standout in Song’s impressive career.
But Song isn’t alone in avoiding her own work. Many actors, from Jennifer Lawrence to Daniel Radcliffe, have admitted they can’t watch themselves on screen. It’s a common struggle for performers who are hyper-aware of their craft.
Still, fans are holding out hope that Song will one day sit down and watch The Social Network. After all, it’s a movie that defined a generation and showcased her talent on a whole new level.
For now, though, Brenda Song remains blissfully unaware of her own brilliance in the film. And honestly? That just makes us love her even more.
