Known for her work in Euphoria and Anyone But You, Sydney Sweeney has captivated audiences with her on-screen performances, earning two Emmy nominations and a steady stream of adoration from fans. Not just her on-screen performance, she also consistently makes headlines with her social media presence.
However, despite all that, the actress has remained refreshingly humbled, as she revealed in a recent interview, stating that surrounding herself with people she’s known since childhood, helps her to step outside the “bubble” of celebrity culture.
Sydney Sweeney Reveals Her Secret to Staying Grounded Amid Fame And Success
Following her recent on-screen presence in films like Anyone But You and Immaculate, Sydney Sweeney took a break to unwind with friends at her lake house in Northern Idaho, where she spent her formative years.
In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, the actress reflected on her time off, saying, “It was almost like a challenge to myself, to take a step back and allow myself to go into vacation mode.”
When asked about her friends, the actress also revealed that most of them are not involved in Hollywood. She also shared that it helps her stay connected to her roots and maintain a sense of normalcy and perspective, despite her fame. Sweeney said,
I have a really amazing friend group where there are a few who are in this industry but most of them are not — Most of my friends are still my childhood friends, and that’s why most of them aren’t in the industry because I didn’t grow up in it. It’s very much just going back to my roots.
She also argued that her close-knit friend circle helps her to focus on what truly matters in life. “You get to step out of what I call ‘the bubble,'” she said, noting that it helps her stay humble and connected to reality.
“You see reality, and it grounds and humbles you,” the Euphoria star said. Sweeney has also been in conversation for her social media presence, sharing “thirst trap” pictures from her vacation on Instagram.

During her interview with Cosmopolitan, Sydney Sweeney also opened up about her approach to managing her public and personal life amid her skyrocketing fame.
“I think that it’s really important to keep my personal life personal,” she said when asked about her approach to publicizing her relationship. She further stated how she became an actress to explore characters and narratives.
I never really thought that people would be interested in Sydney. I thought that they’d want to see my character, and so I want to keep it about the work.
While the Emmy-nominated actress admitted that she wants her fans to see who she truly is, she also asserted that its important for her to keep some aspect of her life private.
“I want them to be able to get to see who I am as a person as well—but I think it’s important to have some stuff for myself,” Sweeney said, highlighting that navigating her fame has been a continuous process for her.
