Sydney Sweeney provides clarification regarding her statements about nude scenes in the TV show Euphoria, emphasizing that she did not request the director to remove any such scenes.

She also stated, “They acknowledged, ‘Alright, perhaps she is genuinely committed to this!’ I was given the opportunity to audition for it, and I ultimately secured the role.

The actress has gained notoriety on the screen and social media, but Sweeney’s personal pages aren’t the only accounts that have gained a following — her TikTok account (@syds_garage) has racked up over a million followers as well!

Dedicated to her “vintage dream car,” Sweeney posts videos of herself fixing up her red 1969 Bronco. “I completely changed the transmission, changed the front-rear axel, made it from drum brakes to disc brakes, changed its power steering,” the actress listed of the repairs made on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Sweeney, who recently got engaged to Jonathan Davino, previously opened up about her decision to not date “people in the spotlight.” She told Cosmopolitan, “I don’t date actors or musicians or anyone in entertainment because I can just be normal Syd that way and it’s easiest. I have a great support system.”

Sweeney continued, “I have people who will battle for me and allow me to be on the pedestal and shine without making me feel like, ‘Oh no, I’m shining too bright and I need to step back.’ “

Wrapping up season 2 of Euphoria was one to remember for the cast, but for Sweeney, it was memorable in more ways than one. “My toe got stepped on during filming and it just exploded,” Sweeney told James Corden of the incident that occurred ahead of the season’s wrap party.

Hesitant to reveal who did the stepping, Sweeney eventually admitted that it was her Euphoria costar Alexa Demie. “I didn’t tell her,” said Sweeney about Demie not finding out until her public announcement. “I’m so sorry Alexa, I’m so sorry!” she confessed.

Nailing every role she nabs, Sweeney gets into character with a very specific acting strategy prior to filming.

“I have 100-page journals on each of my characters… I literally build from the hospital, from the day they’re born and the daycare that they go to,” Sweeney told Who What Wear. “Olivia, for instance, had a nanny that took her on when she was 4 years old,” she explained of her White Lotus character.

“The reason we sit a certain way or we look at a person a certain way, it all comes from some memory from our past that we may not be able to put our finger on. But it’s what made us who we are today,” she continued.

“I build all of these things in this character, and it makes it so that I don’t even have to truly think about how Olivia is going to react. How is Olivia going to speak? It allows me to become this character without having to think about the scene, and I can just live in it.”

Sydney Sweeney is super athletic.

When the actress isn’t on set or repairing a car, she’s on the slopes, in the water, or in the ring.

A frequent poster of her hobbies, Sweeney is incredibly active, often uploading videos and photos of herself skiing, golfing, water skiing, and rock climbing. Oh, and she’s professionally trained in mixed martial arts (MMA) as well — and had shared senseis with UFC champion Ronda Rousey!

“I did competitions, I got first place fighting all guys,” Sweeney touted of her MMA background on The Kelly Clarkson Show. With the risk of getting hurt, the actress has had to put this passion on the back-burner while she pursues her acting career.

“My professor goes, ‘What are you doing here?’ Sweeney explained on The Drew Barrymore Show of the time she told her teacher she was there to take her final. “‘No, you’re not,'” Sweeney recalled what her professor said.

Sweeney continued, “Apparently, all the kids were upset that I was able to miss so many days of school and still succeed although I made the Dean’s list every semester for two years. [My professor] didn’t let me take the final and I never got credit.”
