Who is Sidney Sweeney? Know all about the peeping actresses of Hollywood

Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney has been making headlines since her appearance on Saturday Night Live last month. The actress, who has quite a few hits under her belt, continues to rule social media long after the “boobs speech.”

First time: Sydney first appears in ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction (2009). She soon appeared in several smaller roles including Heroes (2006-2010), Criminal Minds (2005-), 90210 (2008-2013) and Poppy: The Opium Eater’s Odyssey (2010). Her outstanding performances in popular shows like Grey’s Anatomy (2005-), The Martial Arts Kid (2015), The Unborn (2015), and Pretty Little Liars (2010-2017) led to more notable projects and fame.

breakthroughSweeney rose to fame through her role in the critically acclaimed HBO teen drama series Euphoria (2019-), in which she plays Cassie Howard, a troubled young girl dealing with issues such as sexuality, drug addiction, and self-harm. The series also stars Zendaya, Hunter Schiffer, Jacob Elordi, Maude Apatow, Eric Dane, and Barbie Ferreira.

Why is she in the news?: A month ago, Sweeney’s natural bust sparked controversy. While hosting Saturday Night Live, the 26-year-old wore, at the end of the show, a short black dress that highlighted her chest. A photo of her bust went viral on the internet. This sparked a lot of discussion online, with some saying it signaled the end of “woke” or represented women being honest with themselves. Others saw it as promoting body positivity, while some criticized it as objectifying young women. The phrase “Sydney Sweeney leak” quickly went viral on X. Even nearly a week later, it was still one of the first suggested searches when one searched for the actor on the platform.

Her own fitness box: The star is also skilled in mixed martial arts. In a 2018 interview with Marie Claire, she stated: “I trained in mixed martial arts. I started when I was 14 and competed in my first competition when I was 18. It was a tough competition against all the guys in a higher weight class than me, and I came in first place.

On the work front: Sweeney is starting 2024 strong with praise for her role in Anyone But You (2023). She then appeared as Julia Carpenter in Madame Web (2024), but the film did not do well. However, her role in the upcoming horror film Tahir (2024) is generating a lot of buzz, cementing Sweeney’s status as a sought-after actress in Hollywood.
