From doing small roles in the shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars to getting a Primetime Emmy Nomination twice, Sydney Sweeney came a long way. The 25-year-old spent most of her childhood in the small town of Spokane in Washington and hence, it was a bit more difficult for her to make a name in the huge industry of Hollywood. Similarly, the actress had a very different childhood than those from the city kids of America.

The actress once told Coveteur in 2022, “I didn’t have social media growing up, it wasn’t a part of my generation yet.” The Euphoria actress further mentioned that she used to look up to her older cousins as a kid. She even complimented saying that she thought they were very beautiful and she wanted to become like them when she grew up.

What does Sydney Sweeney think about social media?

The Spokane native, who is very active on social media, thinks that it is a wonderful thing. Why? Because she can communicate with her followers and admirers, whom she would never otherwise meet in real life. However, the fact that concerns her the most is that, usually, the online persona of a person or a celebrity is not what they are in real life. She believes that it is a slightly different identity people create for themselves.
