Sydney Sweeney has never been short on creativity. Fans got to witness it time and time again with the roles she takes while her business endeavors also reflect the same.

One can give the credit for all these achievements to her vivid imagination and creative mind because, through this, she managed to do things that people cannot think of. Remember how she did this special thing for director Quentin Tarantino during her audition for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood?

About two years back, Sweeney spoke with Collider in a virtual interview about her new project, Nocturne. In this interview, the host took the chance to ask her a bunch of questions about her career. This included how the young actor got a part in the iconic film of the Oscar-winning director. The host even poked fun if she paid him to join the star-studded cast list.

In his response, she stated, “During the audition process there was a thing on the audition notice saying that you could do extra credit.” Through this, the filmmaker wanted to analyze how creative actors can be and were allowed to do anything from monologues to making a song. However, the Euphoria star did not pick any of these and wrote an in-character letter to Charles Manson.

Though the Emmy-nominated star had a short screen time with the bevy of A-list actors like Margot Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio, she did her best. Sydney Sweeney played the role of Dianne Lake nicknamed Snake because she rolled around in the grass, pretending to be a snake. Her character was one of the members of the Manson Family who lives on Spahn Ranch.

The American beauty went through an intricate process to prepare for this role, just like she did for the interview. She told Vogue that she wrote a book to understand the character deeply and this wasn’t the first time she did it. For all her roles, she traced them and even recorded herself on camera first to know if she is doing it right.
