Sydney Sweeney opened up about having to live in a Holiday Inn for eight months as a teenager after her parents were declared bankrupt.
The Euphoria star, 27, is now a multi-million dollar success story after making it in acting with roles in Anyone But You, The White Lotus and The Handmaid's Tale.
But back before hitting the big time her family found themselves in hard times when her mother, Lisa, a criminal defence lawyer, her father who worked in hospitality were declared bankrupt.
In 2013 when she was 16, her parents who are now divorced, sold their home in Washington and for eight months she lived in a hotel with them and her brother.
She told The Times of her tough childhood: 'We lived in the Holiday Inn in Burbank [northwest LA] for eight and a half months but it felt like my entire life.

'We were sharing a one-bedroom hotel room, no kitchen, no balcony. A pull-out sofa bed, where my dad and brother slept, my mom and me in the bed… My brother and I tried to make the best of it - we would joke around and say we were in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
'We'd run around the different hallways and find stairwells and make friends with all the staff and they would make us grilled cheese.'
In a far cry from her beginnings Sydney now boasts an incredible property portfolio after finding her own financial success thanks to her movie and TV work.
She owns a £4.5million Bel Air home, another Tudor-style home in LA that is worth £3.3million.
Sydney then has a £10.2million compound in the Florida Keys as well as several back home in the Pacific Northwest.
She went on to tell the times that she is also currently looking at places to buy in New York, Texas, Italy and London.
In the interview Sydney kept her answers short and sweet when asked about the status of her relationship with Jonathan Davino.
The actress, who has been selling soap made with her bathwater, made the revelations while speaking with The Times about her upcoming series Echo Valley.

The Euphoria star, who was seen without her engagement ring in February, came clean about the breakup when asked if she was planning a wedding.
'No,' was the answer. She answered 'yes,' when asked if she was single, adding, 'I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it.'
She and Davino, 41, had been together since 2018 and got engaged in 2022.
He was a producer on her successful romcom, Anyone But You, co-starring Glen Powell.
She and the 36-year-old Texan had such chemistry in the film that many wandered if they were a couple at the time, especially since they decided to lean into the spark while promoting the movie.
For now, Sweeney is happy to share snuggles and go on outdoor activities with her dogs Sully Bear and Tank, work on restoring vintage cars, and create a real estate empire.
It comes as some Sydney fans have not reacted warmly to her latest brand partnership — a limited-edition Dr. Squatch soap bar containing her used bathwater.
The Spokane, Washington-bred actress announced the item, called Bathwater Bliss, on Thursday, sparking backlash from her 25 million Instagram followers who called the product 'weird' and 'gross.'
And on Friday, she subtly trolled the critics as she stepped out in a white bathrobe while on set for a campaign with HEYDUDE shoes.
According to the Squatch brand, the soap contains actual droplets of Sydney's used bathwater.
It's meant to be a nod to her Pacific Northwest roots and a cheeky answer to the internet's obsession with the blonde bombshell, per GQ.
In Thursday's social media post, Sydney wrote in the caption, 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it.
'Introducing Sydney's Bathwater Bliss! A very real, very limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater. Available on 6/6/25 at drsquatch.com ✨.'
One fan wrote under the photo of the product — which features an animation of the beauty — 'Sydney honey I love you but I don't know about this.'
In her interview with GQ, the Euphoria sensation said, 'I honestly think it's a really fun, full-circle moment, because fans always joke about wanting my bathwater…'
Plugging the soap, she described, 'It's super soft, it's really pretty. I'm looking at it right now. It's marbly and has blues and a little bit of brown in it.'
Amid the pushback, one delighted fan joked in a comment, 'Thanks, I'll take 100,' and collected nearly 3,000 likes.
Someone else wrote facetiously, 'This is edible, right?'
Others were in disbelief, with one social media user commenting, 'no way this is a real thing.'
Meanwhile, another wrote, 'Hey, so let's be serious,' while a different person begged, 'Can we not normalize this.'
