Sydney Sweeney Lives Life Through Her Characters
Sydney Sweeney is one of Hollywood’s most talented rising stars who has catapulted to superstardom owing to her performances in prominent projects likeEuphoria, The White Lotus,andOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood.One of the reasons for Sweeney being considered a powerhouse performer is her ability to internalize her characters and create her own back stories for them while working on set. This skill, she confessed, helped her to understand the nuances of the role more deeply.
“It’s these character books that are an interactive timeline journal or diary of their entire lives, from the day that they’re born to the first page of the script. I go so in depth in the backstory that it’s not like one event that creates the person,”
TheEuphoriastar hoped that her passion and love for cinema will continue to hold her in good stead thereby allowing her to explore a whole range of memorable characters for a long time in her career.
