She grew up far from movie sets
Sydney Sweeney was born on September 12, 1997, far from the glitz of Hollywood. The eldest of the family, she grew up near Spokane, a town on the border between the states of Washington and Idaho, in the northwestern United States. Her education is exemplary: private school, optional foreign languages, sport and a ban on going to a party, she confided years later to “The Hollywood Reporter”.
Her parents moved to Los Angeles so she could become an actress
At 13, Sydney Sweeney dreams of cinema and convinces her parents to leave their native lands to settle in Los Angeles. His parents give up their jobs and sell their house. But the arrival in the “City of Angels” turns out to be more complicated than expected. The Sweeney family lives for a long time in a motel, explains the actress, always to “The Hollywood Reporter”: “We lived in a room. My mother and I shared the bed. My father and my little brother shared the couch. The relationship between her parents is deteriorating. They end up separating while the teenager goes on to audition for small roles. In 2018, her audition for the HBO mini-series “Sharp Objects” was a success. She landed the role of Alice, opposite Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson. The doors of Hollywood open to her.
In 2022, she was twice nominated for the Emmy Awards
If Sydney Sweeney may have doubted her choices on television, the 2022 Emmy Awards confirmed that she had nothing to worry about. On July 12, 2022, the most prestigious American television ceremony announced the nominations for its 74th edition. Extremely rare, especially for a 24-year-old actress, the rising actress has been nominated twice in the “supporting role” categories, for her interpretations of Olivia in “The White Lotus”, as well as Cassie in “Euphoria “. A moment shared on video on her Instagram account, where she appears very moved on the phone with her mother, just after learning the good news.
She has her production company
In 2020, Sydney Sweeney created Fifty-Fifty Films. A name not chosen at random since its goal is to produce stories directed by women on the small and the big screen.
“I’ve always loved building my characters. I like to do more than one thing. I always wanted to try as many possibilities as possible. I realized that I could create whole worlds in films and series. I love reading books and bringing them to life. I wanted to bring my voice to all these stories”, she pointed out to “Variety”. She will notably produce “Immaculate”, a psychological thriller (no release date for the moment) in which she also plays the main role.
She will be the next Barbarella
The announcement was made in the fall of 2022. Fifty-five years after Jane Fonda in Roger Vadim’s film, Sydney Sweeney will soon play Barbarellathe science fiction heroine, created by Jean-Claude Forest in 1962. If the film does not yet have a director, the news was confirmed by the actress on her social networks, accompanied by the message: ” it is time to save the universe”.
She loves romantic comedies
The actress has yet to show us her talents in the “romantic comedy” category. But that should happen soon since she will be in “Anyone But You” at the end of the year. Interviewed by “British GQ” last year, she revealed that she grew up “loving romantic comedies”. “Imagine if I did a romcom with Jennifer Coolidge? That would be awesome,” she continued.

The couple are still engaged since 2022, despite rumors of a relationship with his “Anyone But You” co-star, Glen Powell. The star remains very discreet on the subject… with one exception, shared at “GQ”: The young woman does not hide her wish to become a “young” mother. “I want to have a family. I’ve always wanted to be a young mother and am worried about how the industry stigmatizes young women who want to have children and looks at them in a different light. »
