Sydney Sweeney was not always the &quot;IT&quot; girl. The actress opens up about her struggle in her high school days.

“I dyed my hair blonde and&#8230;” &#8211; Sydney Sweeney Opens up About Her High School “embarrassment”

In the age of women reclaiming power with roles that mostly prove them as
strong, resilient, and standing at the top of the moral scale, Sydney Sweeney
gained her stardom through a role that was anything but. While she is mostly
recognized for her recent role in Euphoria and The White Lotus, even being
nominated for an Emmy, the actress was on television when she was only twelve
years old.

Over the years, Sweeney has given her best with dramatic performances in
Criminal Minds, Sharp Objects, and The Handmaid’s Tale. Still, none even touched
the surface of her performance as Cassie in Euphoria. With how brilliantly she
broke at the nooks and stood strong at the crannies, it is safe to say that
Sweeney was born to play this role. However, the actress herself has a much
different memory of reality when she herself was attending high school.


SYDNEY SWEENEY TALKS ABOUT HER INSECURITIES IN HIGH SCHOOL

The HBO max series Euphoria created multiverses of madness all within a high
school. Euphoria took high school drama to a whole new level with its dynamic
characters, extravagant costumes, makeup, and of course, the dramatic yet
emotional storyline. And just like most of us, Syndey Sweeney’s high school
experience was not bejeweled and glamorous. In an interview with GQ

magazine, the actress opened up about how insecure she was during her high
school days.

Alongside her acne, the actress also matured too fast, “I had boobs before the
other girls and I felt ostracised for it,” Sweeney said. And much like how she
plays her cliche characters into being sensational and unpredictable Sweeney
tried to change people’s perception of her in high school.

“I dyed my hair blonde and started dressing up for photoshoots, and people
thought that is who I am. I worked really hard to change that perception of
myself, especially in high school,” Sweeney said.

However, instead of a 4 am extreme morning routine with a gazillion steps, the
actress used to participate in sports and excel in her studies so that people
wouldn’t have a certain image of her just because of how she looked. In a way,
Sweeney got to reclaim and reinvent herself, the way she couldn’t back then, by
playing a high school student in the hit series Euphoria.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
