Sydney Sweeney has graced our screens in some of the hottest TV shows and blockbuster films of the last few years. However, she’s not one to sugarcoat her feelings about every project she’s been a part of. In a recent interview with Who What Wear, Sweeney got real about her career highs and lows.
“As an actor, you go out for every role, hoping for the best,” Sweeney revealed. “But not every character or project resonates with you the same way.”
Despite her success, Sweeney confessed that there have been roles she wasn’t entirely thrilled about. She longed for more control over her creative input and wished she could have been more assertive in shaping her characters. However, she recognized the limitations of her position at the time.
This desire for creative control led Sweeney to take matters into her own hands. She launched her own production company, Fifty-Fifty Films, to bring her visions to life and create opportunities for herself in the industry. “It’s about carving out space for stories and characters that speak to me,” she explained.
Fortunately, Sweeney has been fortunate to collaborate with filmmakers who value her input and allow her to play an active role in the creative process. “I’ve been blessed to work with some incredibly collaborative directors,” she shared. “It’s made all the difference.”
Sweeney’s openness about her career journey comes as no surprise to those who know her. She’s always been transparent about her experiences, even using her platform on “Saturday Night Live” to poke fun at herself and her less successful projects.
“Maybe you’ve seen me in ‘Anyone But You’ or ‘Euphoria,'” Sweeney joked. “But ‘Madame Web’? Let’s just say, it wasn’t my finest hour.”
Despite any setbacks, Sweeney remains grateful for the opportunities she’s had and the lessons she’s learned along the way. She’s embraced her journey with humility and a sense of humor, determined to continue growing as an actor and producer.
Looking ahead, Sweeney is excited to explore new roles and stories that challenge her creatively. With her passion and drive, there’s no doubt she’ll continue to make waves in Hollywood and inspire others to pursue their dreams.
In an industry known for its glitz and glamour, Sweeney’s authenticity and candor shine through. Whether she’s on screen or behind the scenes, she’s a force to be reckoned with, blazing her own trail and leaving her mark on the entertainment world.
