The Voyeurs, Sydney Sweeney, 24, is one of the most impressive young actresses who earned two Emmy nominations this year. One for her unhinged work in Euphoria and the other for her subtle villainy in The White Lotus.
Sweeney is also an alum of the beloved Netflix teen comedy "Everything Sucks!", "The Handmaid’s Tale" and "Sharp Objects", and Sony’s upcoming "Madame Web".
Sweeney has talent, range, charisma, a shame-free approach to portraying the darker side of human sexuality onscreen like scenes in Euphoria and The Voyeurs, The White Lotus.
Sweeney born in the Pacific Northwest and raised in Northern Idaho, Sydney and moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. As she explained in a recent Hollywood Reporter interview, she was more devoted to scholarship than she was in rebellious partying.
Sweeney plays Cassie in Euphoria, a beautiful teen girl who throws herself into romances and finds herself slut-shamed by her peers when nudes taken for her boyfriend spread online.
Sweeney perform the way the role demands and fully penetrate herself into that role like in Euphoria Season 2, her perfect bend in a bathtub out of fear. She has a perfect awareness of what the camera sees and how audiences see her being young blonde beauty and an ideal traditional American ideals of beauty.
Sweeney complains that audiences and critics conflate her with the characters she portrays. She only meet the requirement of the role by using her body in nude scenes to explain the story.
She is framing herself as a sex symbol.
“I have no problems with those [nude] scenes, and I won’t stop doing them, but I wish there was an easier way to have an open conversation about what we’re assuming about actors in the industry,”“It’s as if it’s someone else’s life.”
Sweeney is a new Hollywood talent who understands how to physically portray nuances within sex scenes and her movies prove her talent. Her career so far has bravely explored the contradictions in female sexuality.
