While discussing her vocal talents in movies like Mamma Mia!and Les Misérables, Fallon asked Seyfried if she played any instruments, and the actress noted that she could play the piano, clarinet, guitar, and the dulcimer — which she learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fallon, 50, then broke out a dulcimer that he said he keeps handy “just in case anyone plays the instrument,” and asked Seyfried to demonstrate for the audience.
