00:00Hi, I'm Sydney Sweeney, and this is the Wired Autocomplete interview.

00:07I know what you f***ing Google.

00:11Okay.

00:14How is Sydney Sweeney doing?

00:23Skip.

00:26What did Sydney Sweeney do before acting?

00:28I was a child.

00:30I went to school.

00:33I played soccer, hung out with my friends.

00:36I ate dirt.

00:38I don't know.

00:39I was a kid.

00:41Does Sydney Sweeney have tattoos?

00:44No, I do not.

00:45I have the biggest phobia of needles.

00:49Like, the biggest.

00:50I have to be held down to get my blood drawn or get a shot.

00:54I don't know what happened when I was young, but I've tried everything.

00:58I've tried therapy, hypnotism, laughing gas, nothing works, and it's something that I'm

01:04trying to get better on, but yeah, I don't have tattoos because of that.

01:08What is Sydney Sweeney's favorite food?

01:11Chocolate chip cookies, chicken fingers, truffle pasta, pepperoni pizza or Hawaiian pizza, but

01:20I know that's a little controversial.

01:22Cheeseburgers, corn dogs, mac and cheese.

01:26Third grade food.

01:27Will Sydney Sweeney be in Euphoria season three?

01:35Yes, I will.

01:37Cassie will be there, crazy as ever.

01:39I have been with Cassie since I was 20.

01:42I filmed the pilot when I was 20 years old.

01:44My relationship with Cassie has gone through ups and downs.

01:47She's crazy, but as an actor, it's one of those roles that you kind of dream of playing because

01:53you get to be insane and you get to have so much fun and you get to be bigger than life

02:00sometimes.

02:01So I've been really fortunate to be able to play a character like that in my 20s because

02:05she's just, she challenges me in ways I never knew I'd be challenged.

02:11Does Sydney Sweeney do MMA?

02:13So I grew up kickboxing and grappling.

02:16I started when I was like 12 years old and I did it until I actually booked Euphoria and

02:21then I couldn't get punched in the face anymore and I loved it.

02:24I trained at GoCore Ohio stand.

02:27It's in North Hollywood and I was there like three times a week.

02:31So it kind of transferred over into my movie, Christy.

02:34It was really cool being able to tap back into the old skill set and be back into that community.

02:41I loved it.

02:42Sydney Sweeney.

02:43Sydney bit by spider.

02:45I got bit by a spider when I was filming Anyone But You and then I got bit by something again

02:49when I went back to Australia to film Eden and I have a permanent mark on my arm and I

02:54have no idea what bit me but it gave me, so for Anyone But You I got bit on the hand here

03:00and I have like a little mark.

03:01It was during a scene when Glenn and I were on the hike and I reached into his pants and

03:06pulled out a spider and it was a real spider that was on my hand.

03:11And when I started screaming, I think it scared it and so it decided to bite me and so then

03:16I'm screaming in the scene and everyone thinks like, wow, she's just, this is a comedy, right?

03:21Like she's getting kind of dramatic.

03:22But I was like, no, it's really biting me.

03:24It's actually biting me.

03:26And then Glenn was the one who realized I wasn't acting.

03:28He's like, oh shit.

03:29And he came over and then everyone cut and the spider would not stop biting me and it hurt really bad.

03:34It was a huge spider.

03:35And then this one, no idea what happened, but it bit me and then something grew.

03:42So then some, they cut it out of me and gave me stitches and then it grew underneath.

03:46So now it's just stuck like this and I just haven't had time to go to the doctors.

03:50That's it.

03:51Sydney Sweeney, Billie Eilish.

03:53I mean, I'm a huge fan.

03:54I love her music.

03:55My entire Spotify is basically Billie Eilish.

03:58I don't know why we're getting Googled together.

04:01I mean, she's hot and I love her.

04:02So that's a compliment.

04:09Can Sydney Sweeney sing?

04:12I will sing in the shower sometimes.

04:15I like to karaoke.

04:16Can I actually sing?

04:19I have been told yes and I've been told no.

04:22Maybe it's something I'll work on.

04:24Do you have any go-to karaoke songs?

04:26Creep is my go-to karaoke song.

04:28What's the other one?

04:29Sweet Caroline.

04:30That is a fun one.

04:31It gets the whole crowd into it.

04:33You're going to dance on the bar.

04:35It's usually a good time.

04:37But I think it's more fun when you can't sing because then it makes people feel more comfortable

04:40around you and they feel like they can join in too.

04:43So it's okay.

04:44Can Sydney Sweeney ice skate?

04:46I mean, I'm not going to go compete or anything, but I can ice skate.

04:51I had an ice skate for Euphoria.

04:54So I trained a little bit on that.

04:56And then when the holidays roll around, everybody loves a good ice skating date.

05:00So can I skate a little bit?

05:02Can Sydney Sweeney drive a stick?

05:05Yes, I can.

05:06My mom wouldn't let me drive an automatic until I knew how to drive a manual.

05:10So I grew up learning how to drive on my great-grandpa's 1940 F1.

05:15And so if you guys know what that is, it's like the steering wheel is huge.

05:19The shift is crazy.

05:22It's old, so it's going to stick.

05:26And that's what I had to learn to drive on.

05:29Can Sydney Sweeney work on cars?

05:31I can.

05:32I mean, I'm not an expert.

05:34I'm still learning.

05:35But my best friend's dad, Rod Emery, he builds and restores classic Porsches.

05:42And a few years ago, I was on Bring a Trailer.

05:44It's this website where you can auction cars and buy cars.

05:49And I got an old 1969 Bronco.

05:51And I called him up and I was like, I just got it.

05:53I felt like I was in Vegas and I was winning.

05:55And I got the Bronco and I needed to do some work on it.

05:59So he was gracious enough to let me bring my Bronco into his Porsche shop and open up a section.

06:06And I would come in every day after work or if I didn't work.

06:09And he would teach me how to work on the car.

06:11So I changed the transmission.

06:13I changed the drum brakes to disc brakes.

06:16I rebuilt the inside, worked on the engine.

06:19And that was it.

06:21So now I'm working on my next car.

06:24And it's going to be a 1963-56.

06:28So I just got the old body of it.

06:30And it's all rusted.

06:32And Rod and I are going to build it together.

06:35So on my days off, I'm going to go and start working on that.

06:40Yeah.

06:41Okay.

06:42Was Sydney Sweeney valedictorian?

06:46I was.

06:47It was a small school, but you still have to take some hard classes.

06:51I took all AP classes and I loved school.

06:55My mom was pretty strict growing up, but in a good way.

06:58I want to motivate you to be a good person and push yourself to try hard things and to be able to be independent and succeed on your own.

07:07So I was always terrified of coming home with a bad grade.

07:11And I also loved homework.

07:14Like, I just, I liked it.

07:15And I did well.

07:18Where did Sydney Sweeney go skydiving?

07:22You guys, this is the coolest thing ever.

07:23So I was back home in Idaho and I got to skydive over my lake.

07:30And that was the coolest thing ever.

07:33I've never gone skydiving before.

07:34I woke up at like 6 a.m.

07:36There was a prop plane that picked me up.

07:38It was a water plane.

07:39It was camo.

07:40And it pulled up in front of my dock.

07:42I grabbed my cousin John and my best friend Mike.

07:44And we go on the dock.

07:46We climb in the plane, go up into the sky.

07:49It takes us to another plane.

07:51And all of a sudden I'm getting strapped up, strapped to a person.

07:54And they're like, we're going to jump.

07:56And then I jumped.

07:57And it was, it was the best time ever.

08:00It was great.

08:01I loved it.

08:03Where did Sydney Sweeney go on safari?

08:05I went to Tanzania and we got to see lions and giraffes, I think.

08:14Guys, yeah, I saw giraffes.

08:15I got to see, it was lions mating season.

08:18Well, that was interesting.

08:20It was really cool.

08:20It was a pretty awesome experience.

08:23I took all my girlfriends and it was, it was a really fun time.

08:27It was Sydney Sweeney doing Barbarella.

08:31We are in development right now.

08:32Yes, we are.

08:33So I can't really give you much more tea on that other than, yes.

08:42What is Sydney Sweeney's latest movie?

08:46Most recently, I have Christy, which is about the boxer Christy Martin and the housemaid with Amanda Seyfried.

08:54Christy is such an empowering story.

08:56It's about a trailblazing woman who has fought so many fights within the ring and outside the ring.

09:02And she is the greatest role model of my life.

09:06I love her.

09:07And it's going to hopefully save people's lives.

09:10And the housemaid is based on a book by Freedom McFadden who, it's juicy.

09:18You guys, it's twisted.

09:19It's delicious.

09:20It's sexy.

09:21It's fun.

09:23It's a wild ride.

09:24You're going to love it.

09:25What is Sydney Sweeney's dream car?

09:29Right now, I've been really wanting either like an old Defender or like a 300 SL.

09:39You know, Defender, I could go roll around on the beach.

09:42I could go camping with my friends.

09:44A luxurious camping trip in that Defender, that's for sure.

09:47It's like, it's a group car.

09:49It's, you're picking up your friends.

09:50You're going to go backpacking.

09:52You're going to have a good time.

09:53The 300 SL, that's just a sexy car.

09:57It's just a really good time in its own world.

09:59It's got sick doors that go up and then it's just, yeah, it's hot.

10:04But it's also very expensive.

10:05All right.

10:06What?

10:09What kind of dog does Sydney Sweeney have?

10:15I have two dogs.

10:16I have Tank, who has been in my life since I was like 16.

10:22She's a mutt.

10:22I rescued her.

10:23And then I have Sully, who is a German Shepherd.

10:27He's about eight months old now.

10:29And he is, I call him Silly Sully.

10:33He's a floppy bear.

10:34I am a very loving dog mom.

10:36I try to set rules, but those rules tend to be broken with kisses and treats.

10:40They sleep in the bed with me.

10:42We run and cuddle.

10:44They're the best soulmates, honestly.

10:47What is Sydney Sweeney's favorite movie?

10:51Mamma Mia.

10:52I worked with Amanda Seyfried recently and I was geeking out the whole time.

10:56And my whole dream going into it was that we would sing a Mamma Mia song together.

11:01And then we did.

11:02And my life is complete.

11:05What is Sydney Sweeney's best movie?

11:08I don't know.

11:10I've had really incredible experiences on a lot of my films.

11:13I'm pretty lucky.

11:14And I've gotten to tell some pretty amazing stories.

11:17So I don't think that I have a best.

11:23That's called the PG Google searches.
