Sydney Sweeney pops onto our Zoom with perfectly curled hair and freshly winged eyes. Joking around about the muted floral- and crane-littered wallpaper behind her (she purchased it on Etsy and put it up herself), she seems chillZoomer-speak for comfortable, at peace, easygoing, in touch with herself. As the queen of Gen Z characters, Hollywood's newest It Girl has chill down. It's incredible that, at age 25, she so expertly maintains her composure, even as her life pushes against normalcy.
When we talk, she's been on a series of night shoots, filming until 6 or 7 a.m., for a confidential project, and she spends her "days off" shooting ad campaigns. She's also enjoying awards season, having earned two Emmy nominations for her roles: Cassie Howard, a self-destructive high schooler who's still very much coming into her own, on HBO's Euphoria; and Olivia Mossbacher, the epitome of a teenage Twitter troll, in The White Lotus.
