Throughout 2023, she had the pleasure of showing such different facets of her potential as an actress that it is not difficult to understand why 2024 will be even much better for her. She has just released a romantic comedy in theaters, Anyone But You, distributed by Sony Pictures and made by her own production company, Fifty-Fifty Films, in which she shares tasks with her fiancé, businessman Jonathan Davino. .
In March he presented in Austin, at the increasingly important SXSW festival, an independent film, Americana, in which he shares the bill with the rising Paul Walter Hauser, which for now does not have a release date. Additionally, last year she was seen in a Rolling Stones video as the sexy girl who walks around Los Angeles looking at the posters where the historic band plays, and she also starred in the HBO film Reality, in which she played a shy employee of an intelligence service who is accused by the FBI of having been responsible for leaking classified documents.
Her name is Sydney Sweeney, she is 26 years old, she was born in Spokane, Washington State, and grew up in Idaho, in a family in which no one ever had anything to do with acting. And yet, everything seems to indicate that she is well on her way to becoming one of the biggest Hollywood stars of her generation, particularly when Marvel's new blockbuster, Madame Web, hits theaters in February.
Obviously, Sweeney is no stranger, as she has been consistently climbing the steps of fame. The general public discovered her in 2019 in the first season of the series Euphoria, playing one of the main characters, Cassie Howard, to whom she will return with the rest of the cast when the third debuts, sometime in 2025. Already then Sydney He had left his mark in other series, such as Todo es sua, broadcast by Netflix in 2018; The Handmaid's Tale, in which she participated in seven episodes that same year playing Eden Spencer, and Open Wounds, with Amy Adams.
The daughter of a criminal lawyer who decided to abandon her career when her children were born and an expert in the field of medicine, the future star grew up as an exceptional student in a lakeside house that belonged to her family for five generations.
After participating as an extra in an independent film as a child, she became so obsessed with acting that after convincing her parents she began auditioning for commercials in nearby Seattle and Portland, with enough success for the entire family to join in. He moved to Los Angeles when he was just 14 years old.
Once there, nothing and no one stopped her. She landed guest acting roles in major series, and worked incessantly until she landed her first regular role in 2017 on the series In the Vault. The truth is that Sweeney, who in 2022 earned a double Emmy nomination for his work in The white lotus and Euphoria, may change categories when Madame Web is released, because although the title character is played by Dakota Johnson, the from Sydney, Julia Carpenter, becomes Spider-Woman in the comics. If the film becomes a blockbuster, it is possible that Sony and Marvel will decide to up the ante and make the actress the successor to Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire.
2024 will also be the year in which Immaculate is released, a horror film filmed in Rome and also produced by the actress's company, in which Sydney works with our Álvaro Morte, as well as Echo Valley, a thriller in which she plays to Julianne Moore's daughter. In a long article published in Variety magazine, the Oscar winner for Always Alicia revealed that Sweeney reminded her of herself when she was in her twenties: “I was very intense with my work at that age, and she is too. I think Sydney is a lot more comfortable with herself than I was at that age. She is someone who is not only interested in being a star, but also in being an actress.”
As if everything mentioned were not enough, the star of the moment, who will also be one of the protagonists of Ron Howard's new film, Eden, along with Vanessa Kirby and Ana de Armas, is also linked to a remake of Barbarella in which I would play the role that Jane Fonda played in 1968, and that does not take off.
