Sydney Sweeney, the actress whom Trump praises: “Women confront what society wants them to be” | Cinema: premieres and evaluations | EUROtoday

It sounds cliché, but it surely’s true: American actress Sydney Sweeney wins at brief distances. In the media, the press conferences during which she is surrounded by journalists who ask her about her life, her profession, her coaching, her stylistic decisions, evidently it’s troublesome for her to say greater than two sentences in a row. As if he was afraid that a few of his phrases can be misinterpreted, leaked and go viral. He is aware of just a little about that. But in a toast or a selfie, Sweeney, the 28-year-old performer from Spokane, Washington, laughs, chats and smiles extra.

In the final 5 years, Sweeney has grow to be one of many best-known names and faces on the small and massive display screen, in addition to on the networks. This summer time he did a denims marketing campaign that had quite a lot of buzz: did the advert say that Sweeney has “good looks?” denims” or “good genes”? Virality, machismo, supremacism, liberalism, conservatism… everything entered into that cocktail shaker that put Sweeney at the center of controversy. But she has been on everyone’s lips for years also for her roles and her spectacular red carpet appearances. “I merely costume in what I’m comfy with and it makes me really feel protected,” she quickly dispatches, when asked how she chooses her clothes. looks.

Sweeney tries to put controversies aside and focus on his work. This year the films have been released Eden (directed by Ron Howard and alongside Jude Law and Ana de Armas), Echo Valley (with Julianne Moore) and the biopic Christyhis most intense and careful project, and which he talks about in this interview, despite its failure at the box office and with no planned release in Spain. In addition, on January 1 it does premiere in Spain To the nursetogether with Amanda Seyfried, thriller thriller based on the best-selling novel by Frieda McFradden. In spring she will step back into Cassie’s shoes for the long-awaited third season of Euphoriathe series that launched her to fame and that returns to HBO with eight new episodes.

Meanwhile, in just a few months, he has added and lost 16 kilos from his body. And she has returned to the ring, because she had to play Christy Martin, the 57-year-old boxer she plays in the film. “She is an actual individual, so crucial factor was that the story was true and respectful. Everything you see within the movie occurred in actual life to Christy. We needed to suppose issues by and put quite a lot of love into every little thing,” he acknowledges.

Building a story about a real character whom he admires has helped Sweeney try to shake off the controversies he carries. A few months ago he assured Vanity Fair that she found it “disheartening to see women destroying other younger women,” and although in the film industry people say that “women empower other women,” she didn’t feel that way. “Everything is false, a facade for all the other shit they say behind the scenes,” he said, in statements that raised blisters. In person, she clarifies: “Women confront what society wants them to be.”

The actress has become a kind of reference antiwokeagainst political correctness. A few months ago it came to light that she was apparently registered as a Republican in Florida; Donald Trump was quick to praise her. This put her back in the spotlight. Also her new romantic relationship with Scooter Braun, whom she met at Jeff Bezos’s wedding in Venice, discoverer (and now confronted) with Justin Bieber, former agent of Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande and who years ago acquired the rights to Taylor Swift’s first albums without her having the option to buy them and, therefore, archenemy of the cause. swiftie. The Sydney-Scooter union has been the final straw for the actress’s delicate position in an industry that carries political correctness as its flag.

But Sweeney continues doing his thing. In the talk he mixes his personal life with his professional life, although he sets limits. Sweeney grew up in Washington State making kickboxing y grapplinga type of contact fighting, from the age of 12 to 19. “I went to tournaments, I won championships,” he says. “The movie allowed me to get better that a part of my childhood. I felt alive, it was incredible,” she acknowledges. To prepare, he decided to go to Idaho, where he has a house next to his grandmother’s, and convert the garages and sheds into gyms. “I’d stand up, do an hour of weight coaching, eat lots, protein shakes like nobody else, after which go snowboarding with my uncle. I’d come again and field for 3 hours with my coach, Max, we might watch movies of Christy and fights, spend time with my household, and at evening I’d do one other hour of coaching.” Simple, intense, sacrificed and effective.

“The neatest thing about being an actor is that you do not have to do the identical factor over and again and again. I can fall in love with totally different genres and characters and search for new challenges,” he says. That’s why he also gets into production or who knows if directing soon. “I don’t think you can grow or learn unless you challenge yourself,” she explains, sitting in her Hollywood home. His home belonged to director Delmer Daves. “They left all their stuff, so I’ve a bunch of signed images of Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe, and I’ve scripts, and the entire home is crammed to the brim with their work. It’s very outdated and fairly, however the retailers do not at all times work, the electrical energy does not work, and my web goes down each 5 minutes,” he excuses himself.

In addition to Euphoriafor 2026 it has four other titles in preparation; and all bets indicate that it will be in the second part of The devil wears Pradaand also that she will play Kim Novak in Scandalousthe directorial debut of actor Colman Domingo. How do you maintain balance with this intense work pace? “I love being an actress, and I find that I work much better under pressure,” she says.

Twice nominated for an Emmy, both for Euphoria like for the first season of The White Lotusshe did not win them, but when asked if she ever gives up, she categorically states: “I’m still here.” “I’ve quite a lot of initiatives to do and paths to comply with. Maybe I’ll attempt new issues.”
