Sydney Sweeney, the 27-year-old star of Euphoria, recently revealed that she makes it a point not to inject her “personal feelings” into the characters she portrays.
“I love to be able to jump fully into these characters and go mad, almost, in the scenes, but if I took that home, that definitely would not be a fun dynamic for my friends and family,” she explained to Empire Magazine.
Sydney continued, “I don’t ever put any of my own personal thoughts or memories or feelings into a character. I was taught that by my friend Kodi Smit-McPhee’s dad, Andy [an acting coach].”
The Madame Web star added, “He taught it to me as a way of just making sure that I can have a healthy, balanced life, and being able to know who Sydney is as a person, and then also be able to know who my characters are.”
She also discussed her experience working with the Oscar-winning actress Julianne Moore on her latest film, Echo Valley.
Sydney Sweeney further mentioned, “Oh, I am obsessed with Julianne Moore. When I found out I was going to do a movie with her… I keep being like: ‘Oh my gosh, I’m ticking off all these big bucket-list items in my career.’ I really hope my thirties can live up to my twenties.”
Currently, the actress has several upcoming projects, including Jon M. Chu’s new movie Split Fiction and a biopic that tells the story of the boxer Christy Martin.
