Childhood. The beginning of acting career

Sydney Sweeney was born on September 12, 1997, in Spokane, Washington's second-largest city. Just like most American kids, she took up volleyball and baseball from a very young age.

Sydney's parents were far from the artistic world: her mother is a lawyer, while her father works in hospital administration. Imagine the family's surprise when 12-year-old Sydney asked her parents to take her to an audition for zombie comedy ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction, which was filming in town at the time.

Sydney landed the role after beating out hundreds of other girls at the audition. The aspiring actress got to work with Doug Fahl, Janette Armand, and Cooper Hopkins, whose words of encouragement completely changed Sydney's perspective. Though she'd never seriously considered acting before, she decided to do whatever it took to move to Los Angeles and make it in Hollywood.

To convince her parents to relocate to Hollywood, the teenager made a huge compromise and presented them with a five-year business plan for her career. Sydney promised that if she couldn't launch her career within three months, they'd all just come back home.

Sweeney's parents were impressed by her thorough approach and sensible perspective, and eventually gave in. Though it took the actress almost ten years instead of five to get the recognition she wanted, her parents never regretted their decision.

However, not everyone in the immediate family and friend circle was as supportive of Sydney, and news of her departure sparked plenty of discussion and negativity. Her parents' acquaintances were baffled about why they'd let their young daughter move to such a dangerous city, while Sydney's peers bullied her with hateful messages.

Acting career

Soon after moving to Los Angeles, Sydney landed her first job in the police procedural drama series Chase, where she worked with Cole Hauser, Kelli Giddish, Steven Walters, Eddie Cibrian, and Jesse Metcalfe. She then got the chance to work with Amber Heard, Danielle Panabaker, and Jared Harris on the supernatural psychological horror The Ward.

In 2013, Sweeney was cast in a supporting role in the science fiction monster horror Spiders 3D, where she worked alongside Patrick Muldoon and William Hope. A year later, Sydney appeared in the coming-of-age comedy-drama Angels in Stardust, starring alongside Alicia Silverstone.

By 2016, Sydney Sweeney was considered one of the most promising actresses of the future generation. That year she starred in a thriller Cassidy Way and an action horror The Horde. Her next project was a romantic comedy titled Vikes, where she played Ida, the love interest of the main character, portrayed by Aidan Alexander. Although the film flopped, viewers praised Sweeney's believable acting and natural charisma.

The year 2017 brought Sydney Sweeney to the public's attention as she was cast in a recurring role in a dystopian drama The Handmaid's Tale.

In 2018, the blonde starlet secured her position in Hollywood, appearing in two more films. One was the horror thriller Tell Me Your Name, where she starred alongside Matt Dallas and Jessica Barth. Sydney portrayed a very unstable young woman named Ashley, who got a psychological trauma when she was a little girl. The actress looked solid in that role and even managed to elicit sympathy from the audience.

The second film was a comedic neo-noir mystery Under the Silver Lake, where she starred opposite Riley Keough, Topher Grace, Andrew Garfield, and Jimmi Simpson. The audience loved all the references to the classic David Lynch films, very aesthetically pleasing cinematography, and the unpredictable ending.

The drama film Clementine, starring Sydney Sweeney, premiered in spring 2019 at the Tribeca Film Festival. The plot centers on a complex relationship between Sydney Sweeney's provocative young woman and Otmara Marrero's character, who has just broken up with her boyfriend. The film received strong reviews, with critics praising Sweeney's exceptional performance and her ability to capture her character's irresistible magnetic appeal.
Sydney was cast as the older sister of Maude Apatow's character in the teen drama series Euphoria, which follows a group of high school students struggling to find their place in the world. From its debut episode, this American adaptation of a 2012 Israeli drama series won over audiences of all ages with its relevant storytelling, incredible soundtrack, and brilliant cast. The main role was given to the versatile and very talented teen icon Zendaya, who plays Rue, a recovering drug addict returning to her hometown after a stint in rehab.

Sweeney also appeared in one of 2019's most anticipated films – Quentin Tarantino's comedy-drama Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. She is working alongside Brad Pitt, Kurt Russell and many others. Though she had just a minor role as Snake, a member of the Manson family, critics believe 2019 marked Sydney's breakout year, with an even brighter future ahead for this rising star.

In 2020, Sydney's career took off. She appeared in Nocturne and Day by Day with Josephine Langford and worked on upcoming projects Night Teeth and The Voyeurs, both slated for 2021 premieres. In the same year, Sydney can be seen in the mini-series The White Lotus.

Sydney Sweeney Now

In 2021 Sydney Sweeney starred in two projects that audiences absolutely loved. First was the thriller "The Voyeurs" where she starred alongside Justice Smith. Second was the satirical series "White Lotus". Sweeney called it an "absolute new level" compared to all her previous work.

As Sydney said, after "Euphoria" people had mixed feelings about her, but after the "White Lotus" premiere she was flooded with love from viewers.

At the beginning of 2022, the second season of "Euphoria" was released on HBO. Sydney's character received much more screen time. She doesn't shy away from explicit scenes because she considers it part of the acting craft and because filming those scenes is absolutely not sexy.

In May 2020, swimwear brand LA Collective filed a $3 million lawsuit against Sydney. The brand had previously signed a modeling and promotional agreement with the actress and sent her swimsuits for commercial purposes. Later, Sweeney refused the contract without any explanations. But she appeared in those swimsuits in some scenes of Euphoria.
