Mandy Moore Says She Drank Underage on Saved! Set

Her comments place the anecdote in the context of British Columbia production rules where the legal drinking age is 19.

Overview

  • Mandy Moore, who disclosed Wednesday on the Shut Up Evan podcast that she drank with co‑stars during the Saved! shoot, said she was 18 at the time.
  • The film was shot in Vancouver where the legal drinking age is 19, and Moore said older co-star Macaulay Culkin introduced the cast to White Russian cocktails.
  • Moore described the cast’s time together as a close, ‘summer camp’ experience and said the drinking was lighthearted rather than malicious.
  • Page Six reported that a representative for Culkin did not immediately respond to requests for comment after Moore’s remarks were published.
  • Production took place in 2003 with the movie released in 2004, Moore said she took the role to broaden her career and current coverage treats her account as a personal, retrospective anecdote with no new corroboration.
