Sydney Sweeney is undoubtedly one of the most versatile and kind actors in Hollywood. However, it is not just her acting skills that have made people her die-hard fans. This multitalented human can professionally restore cars, is a trained MMA fighter, and was also valedictorian during her school days. While her other two skills have received enough attention, the part where she was valedictorian barely came to light.

Sweeney might play the dumb blonde as a character sometimes, but the actress is really very smart in real life. She has occasionally revealed that her parents, especially her mom, have been very strict when it comes to education. The 25-year-old recently appeared on the Award Chatter podcast of The Hollywood Reporter and revealed various current and past aspects of her life.
