Sydney Sweeney, the 26-year-old star of “Euphoria,” recently opened up about a personal struggle she faced as a teenager. In a candid interview with Glamour UK, Sweeney revealed that she once contemplated undergoing a breast reduction due to insecurities about her body.
“When I was in high school, I used to feel uncomfortable about how big my boobs were and I used to say that when I turned 18, I was going to get a boob job to make them smaller,” Sweeney shared. Her mother, however, advised against it. “My mom told me: ‘Don’t do it. You’ll regret it in college.’ And I’m so glad I didn’t. I like them. They’re my best friends,” she added.
Sweeney, who grew up in rural Idaho, now embraces her body and encourages others to do the same. “Flaunt what you got. Own it. Love them,” she said, advocating for self-acceptance and body positivity. Reflecting on her journey, Sweeney noted that her confidence grew as she matured. “I went through that process of covering my body up at such a young age, but once I became more confident with myself, [it changed],” she told Glamour UK.
The actress is passionate about empowering others to appreciate their bodies. “I want to show girls that it’s amazing and beautiful and empowering to have the bodies that we have,” Sweeney said. She believes that true beauty comes from within. “Everybody’s body is beautiful. When you are confident and you’re happy within is when it really shows to other people.”
Sweeney’s message of self-love and confidence resonates with many, especially as she continues to rise in her career. Currently, she is promoting her upcoming romantic comedy, “Anyone But You,” where she stars alongside Glen Powell. Despite the professional collaboration, rumors about a possible romantic involvement with Powell have been rampant. These speculations have been fueled by their on-screen chemistry and public interactions.
However, Sweeney is quick to clarify that her relationship with Powell is purely professional. She is engaged to businessman Jonathan Davino, 38, and has been for nearly two years. Sweeney’s engagement and the strong bond she shares with Davino are significant aspects of her personal life. “It’s amazing having someone who cheers you on and someone who fully just supports what you do,” she said about her fiancé, who also works closely with her as a co-producer on “Anyone But You.”
Sweeney’s dedication to her career is evident. She described herself as a “workaholic” in a recent interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” where she was asked about her wedding plans. “I am so busy working! I’m a workaholic and I love it, I love it,” she said, implying that wedding preparations might take a backseat to her professional commitments for now.
Despite her busy schedule, Sweeney is navigating the pressures of fame and public scrutiny with grace. She acknowledged that the rumors about her and Powell have been challenging for both of them. “It was really hard on Glen, which made me sad… because [otherwise] it was such a beautiful experience for the both of us,” she shared about filming “Anyone But You” in Australia.
Sweeney also pointed out that the media often distorts reality, especially when it comes to her personal life. “I’ve never really shared that much [about my relationship], so the press loves to create drama in stories,” she said. This tendency of the media to fabricate drama can be difficult for celebrities, who often have to balance their private and public lives carefully.
Through it all, Sweeney remains focused on her career and personal growth. Her journey from an insecure teenager to a confident and successful actress serves as an inspiration to many. She continues to advocate for self-love and body positivity, encouraging others to embrace their unique beauty.
In promoting “Anyone But You” and addressing the rumors, Sweeney maintains her authenticity and commitment to her values. She stands as a testament to the power of confidence and self-acceptance, reminding everyone that true beauty shines from within. Her story is a powerful reminder that embracing who we are can lead to both personal and professional fulfillment.
