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.
11:25I know what you f***ing Google.
11:27I know.
11:33I know.
11:34I know.
11:34I've let you know.

11:35I know.
11:35I know.
11:36I know.
