It is always a breath of fresh air to hear about Hollywood success stories that do not stem from a long line of entertainment moguls. Hollywood's new darling, Sydney Sweeney, is one of them. The actress came with no roadmap and had little to no clue about the unwritten rules of the industry, like handling interviews. And despite all the love, the actress has found herself in the not-so-friendly limelight as well.
This has, naturally, led Sydney Sweeney to look back on her journey, wondering what she might have done differently if she could rewind.

Sydney Sweeney recently gave a refreshingly candid interview to Vanity Fair, where she opened up about her journey as an actress. When asked what advice she would give her younger self before one of her first big interviews, she admitted, “I actually think about this often.” The 27-year-old shared the duality of her thoughts on what she now believes she should have done. One approach, she explained, would have been to keep things straightforward- avoiding any personal revelations and sticking strictly to discussing her work.

On second thought, a part of her wonders if she could have been so unapologetically authentic and true to herself from the start that “there’s no questioning.” The Euphoria star confessed, “I just tried to hide who I was for so long.” And fans did not fail to pick up on this either. In fact, there have been many questions raised about why Sweeney is so tight-lipped about her long-term boyfriend and fiancé, Jonathan Davino.
Last month, Sydney Sweeney made it clear that keeping her relationship private is a deliberate choice.

Sydney Sweeney has always been firm about not putting her personal life on display. But during her Anyone But You days, when rumors about an alleged romance with co-star Glen Powell dominated headlines, the scrutiny surrounding her personal life and relationship with Jonathan Davino shot through the roof. Of course, it later became clear that it was all a clever marketing stunt.

Speaking to Cosmopolitan last month, Sweeney emphasized, “It’s really important to keep my personal life personal.” The Immaculate actress, apparently, assumed that fans wanted to see her "character" and not the "Sydney" beyond the actress. While it is quite evident that Sweeney is still figuring out the best way to handle her public image, it is safe to say that whatever she is doing is working quite well in her favor.
