HBO’s Euphoria is like a kaleidoscope of emotions made all the more vivid with the presence of Sydney Sweeney. Through her expressive eyes, Sweeney unravels the mysteries of teenage life as her fans watch in awe. From relationship complexities to substance abuse in youth, the show has touched upon some rather tricky topics. And the 25-year-old’s portrayal of Cassie is almost as magical as that of a unicorn, enchanting audiences through the character’s whimsical charm and fabulous wardrobe.

Following the age-old tale of struggling through Hollywood for recognition, the role marked a breakthrough for Sweeney. Yet, that is not the reason why she has loved playing Cassie more than another character she took on for an HBO show.

In a YouTube interview with Variety, Sweeney played a game of This or That, which entails choosing one thing over the other. When asked if she preferred playing Cassie over her role of Olivia in The White Lotus, she seemed hesitant to answer at first, saying that she loves all her characters. But on second thought, she chose Cassie saying that being an “emotionally crazy deep character”, it was much more challenging than the more “fun and snarky” Olivia.

Already enraged due to the delays caused by the SAG-AFTRA strike, Euphoria fans will surely become all the more impatient for Season 3 after seeing her love and dedication for Cassie. For the Americana star, what pushes her as an actress is emotionally going to places that she may never have gone to before. Citing Cassie to be a “lot of fun to play,” she made her preference known.

Much like her chosen character’s fashion choices, the Euphoria sensation is a fan of all things retro. Because another preference that she spoke about during the interview proves the same.

As a believer in breaking through gender barriers, Sweeney went viral on TikTok for journaling her Ford Bronco restoration project, proving that the male-dominated world of mechanics has plenty of room for women. So when she was asked whether she would choose a 2023 Ford Bronco over her vintage one, the actress chose the vintage that she poured her sweat and blood into.

Calling the pickup truck her “dream car“, she mentioned how she has both versions of the truck. But her restored vintage is the one she deems “beautiful.” Seems like the actress enjoys a challenge in her acting career as well as her mechanical endeavors.
