Sydney Sweeney made the most of her summers in Paris with her style quotient in the fashion capital. However, it was time for her to refocus on her burgeoning career, especially as the highly anticipated Barbarella remake gains momentum with the comic character relaunch’s first look. In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, the busy 26-year-old shared insights into her preparation for the space opera film as she approaches her 27th birthday. According to Sweeney, the Barbarella remake requires rigorous workouts.

Sweeney revealed that she is focusing on building significant muscle strength, leading to a major shift in her routine. The Euphoria actress reportedly takes her nighttime skincare regimen very seriously, as it is the only time she has to herself. While her days are dedicated to fitness and strength training, her evenings are reserved for beauty care, including a refreshing shower, face wash, and overall body care, allowing her muscles to rest and recover.

In her chat with Cosmopolitan, Sydney Sweeney described herself as an “old soul” who does not make a big deal out of her “birthday age.” She shared that while she sets goals for herself, she feels proud of her achievements, whether she reaches them at 27 or later. For her 27th birthday, Sweeney will reportedly be in the midst of filming, so her plans will be focused on “prepping and working.” The White Lotus actress seemed unsure if she would have a birthday bash this year. 

Sweeney, however, plans to treat herself and perhaps celebrate later with a holiday party or something similar. “I love throwing parties,” the actress said, noting that she has always worked on her birthday except last year. While she may be sacrificing celebration for the sake of her work, it is clear that these sacrifices will feel like a minor trade-off compared to the big leagues of success she is honing herself for.
