There is a lot that goes into the making of a star. Especially one as versatile as Sydney Sweeney. The actress, although wrongly assumed to be a newcomer by many when she starred in Euphoria, has been trying to make a mark in the industry since she was a teenager. It was only when the HBO series was followed by a more critically acclaimed Reality that the masses began to laud her talent. But before she gained the love of millions, it was only the selfless love of her parents that helped her pull through.

It is in her simple gestures of traveling across the world with her grandmother or sharing all the gossip on the Euphoria sets with her mother that it becomes clear how Sydney Sweeney’s parents have always been her support system.

While it was mostly the actress who was hailed for making time for her folks, in her recent interview with Variety, Sweeney made sure the spotlight was on them as she highlighted their efforts to make her a star. The actress has spoken on various occasions about her financial problems growing up. This further worsened as the actress was adamant about becoming an actress.

These hard layers that Sydney Sweeney has gained over the years are perhaps innate, as they are a representation of her parents. A father who refuses to get lost in the kerfuffle of the fast world and a mother who started her train of sacrifices very young.

As she joins the League of Stars, Sweeney plans on returning the favor. It was, after all, their resilience that made her believe that “you’re prepared to fail” if you have a Plan B.

After she famously revealed that her father had “walked out” on Euphoria, the actress gave more insight into the person that her father was. This led to the revelation that despite living on a ranch in Mexico, he does not leave her with a hint of doubt as he makes sure to tell her how proud he is on every occasion.

Sweeney’s mother, too, is made of hard edges owing to her tough run as a criminal defense lawyer. While the divorce of her parents took a great toll on her in her early years, the actress has found the right balance and now enjoys a great relationship with both of them. These unadulterated confessions about her origins and her love for her parents are what make Sydney Sweeney the rising star that she is today.
