Sydney Sweeney makes shocking Euphoria admission as she teases show's final season
The 27-year-old actress — who will star alongside Julianne Moore in AppleTV+'s Echo Valley — plays the backstabbing, tantalizing Cassie in the high school drama from Sam Levinson.
In an interview with Empire magazine, the Anything But You star gushed about the character, 'I have such a spot in my heart for Cassie, and I hold her really close and dear.'
She continued, 'She is crazy. She makes so many mistakes. She's flawed on so many levels, but she does it all from a place of love. It could be a sad version of love, as well. It's so much fun to play a character that is as crazy as she is.'
Ans Sweeney said that in the next chapter of the show, Cassie will get 'crazier.'

She said about working with the show's creator and director, 'Sam is such a brilliant filmmaker to work with, because I'll read something, then I'll call him, and I'm like, 'Let's go crazier.' And he's like, 'I'm all in.' And this season is unhinged.'
In mid May Zendaya was spotted on the California set of the HBO series, slipping back into her troubled character Rue.
The 28-year-old actress appeared distressed for the cameras as she exited a convenience store in LA's South Gate.
It came after her co-stars Sydney and Alexa Demie and were spotted filming a scene together in late April.
Earlier this year it was announced that Sharon Stone was cast in season three.
She joined a notable group of A-listers previously added to the show, including Spanish singer Rosalía, Super Bowl winner Marshawn Lynch, and A Different World star Kadeem Hardison.
The prior two seasons of the HBO series from A24 starred Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, Jacob Elordi, the late Angus Cloud, Barbie Ferreira and Dominic Fike.
Last fall Zendaya confirmed that the final season will see a time jump that ages the characters.

She said on Entertainment Weekly's The Awardist podcast, 'It's important because there's only so much high school drama you can deal with.'
'I don't actually know much about what is happening,' she admitted, despite her role as an executive producer. 'I don't quite know exactly what the season is going to look like, but I do know that the time jump is happening.'
The actress, who plays queer teenager Rue, a high schooler who struggles with drug addiction, sounded as excited as fans to learn what's in store for the young adults.
'It will be fascinating to see and understand these characters outside of the context of high school and how all the stuff that we saw when they were kids and they were in high school affects the adulthood they have and who they become in a much bigger world.'

Foo Fighters' new drummer revealed
Foo Fighters have reportedly chosen Ilan Rubin, known for his work with Nine Inch Nails, as their new drummer. Sources confirmed Rubin's involvement, though it is not yet clarified if he will be a full-time member or a touring drummer. This development comes two months after the band's previous drummer, Josh Freese, announced he had been 'booted' from the group. Freese had joined Foo Fighters after the recording of their 2023 album But Here We Are and was the replacement for long-time drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died in 2022. Rubin has also played with other notable bands including Paramore, Lostprophets, and Angels & Airwaves.

Footy supercoach Wayne Bennett declares war on radio stars over disgraceful jokes about his ex-wife and the woman he left her for
NRL supercoach Wayne Bennett is at war with Triple M in Brisbane following a highly offensive skit where his split with ex–wife Trish and the breast size of the woman he left her for were featured in a mock interview. While the breakfast show featuring hosts Dan Anstey, Margaux Parker and Greg Martin issued an on–air apology, it appears the damage is done, with Bennett banning Triple M indefinitely. It is also understood Parker – the wife of Broncos great Corey – also phoned Bennett to apologise personally. Triple M are the NRL's broadcast rights holders, but any interview with the South Sydney coach is now off the table. In the astonishing mock interview, Martin and Margaux fired a series of 'questions' at Bennett, with his answer always the same – 'I knew someone would ask that question'. They used a recording of Bennett giving that response to a journalist on July 26 when he was asked if he feels the Rabbitohs are wooden–spoon candidates following their defeat against Cronulla. Some of the 'questions' listeners heard included: why he dropped NRL Immortal Wally Lewis from the Broncos in the early 1990s, why his 42–year marriage with Trish ended, if Bennett believes he resembles famed actor Clint Eastwood, and, inexplicably, how big are his current partner Dale Cage's breasts – which was posed by Parker. Bennett confirmed to News Corp he was aware of the offensive remarks about his ex–wife and current partner. 'That's personal stuff, so I'm not going to go into that,' he said. 'You talk to them (Triple M). If they want to say something about their behaviour, you talk to them, but I'm not saying anything more.' Bennett's partner Cage heard the segment live this week and called Triple M management to lodge an official complaint, according to Code Sports. South Sydney CEO Blake Solly said it was a 'private matter for Wayne to deal with' before adding he 'has the club's total support'. Bennett met Cage in 2013 while he was coaching the Newcastle Knights and she was working with club doctor Neil Halpin. He confirmed the relationship began while he was still married in the biography The Wolf You Feed by journalist Andrew Webster. At the time, Bennett was regarded as a family man known to glowingly praise his longstanding wife Trish. She was the primary carer of their two adult disabled children back in Brisbane while he spent six years coaching 1076km away in Wollongong and later Newcastle, with Trish's blessing. 'Trish and the family didn't want to see me staying at home and not being happy and not being challenged. Like myself, they would naturally prefer me to be at home, but they were happy for me to go (to the Dragons and Newcastle) because they knew it's what I wanted to do,' Bennett recalled in 2014. 'We just got on with life as a family and as a unit we have made it work.' The stoush with Triple M comes after former Rabbitohs halfback Adam Reynolds recently revealed a heart–to–heart with Bennett in 2020 helped save his marriage. 'It was a really tough part of my life. He [Bennett] is very good at reading the room,' the Broncos playmaker and father of four recalled on the Inside Ball podcast. 'I wasn't giving out too much and he grabbed me aside one day (at Rabbitohs training) and said: 'What's up?' 'I opened up to Wayne and he then regularly checked in with me, which was good. 'It was hard to navigate through that time and if I didn't have that guidance from Wayne, I don't know where I would have been.'

No, loony Left, Sydney Sweeney isn't promoting white supremacy
Before this week, had you ever heard of a clothing brand called American Eagle? I hadn't. But I certainly have now. And it's all thanks to a mob of Left-wing dingbats who seem to have convinced themselves that its jeans are racist. A few days ago, American Eagle launched an advert starring the young actress Sydney Sweeney (best-known for The White Lotus, Euphoria and her not-exactly-reticent attitude towards exhibiting her physique). The ad shows her modelling the firm's wares, alongside the tagline, 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' And, as one, the world's most shriekingly hysterical Leftists decided to interpret this as an endorsement of far-Right eugenics. Because, well… 'jeans' sounds like 'genes', doesn't it? And Sydney Sweeney's blonde and blue-eyed, isn't she? You know – like the Nazis, right? Naturally, America's top liberal media outlets were straight on the case. 'Sydney Sweeney's new campaign draws fire for racial undertones', thundered Salon. 'Sydney Sweeney fronts ad campaign for jeans – sparks debate about eugenics', fretted Newsweek. The Washington Post, meanwhile, ran an 'analysis' headlined: 'How American Eagle's Sydney Sweeney 'good jeans' ad went wrong.' (Did it? What if American Eagle is only trying to sell jeans to people who are sane, rather than howlingly deranged?) Of course, you might assume that the people denouncing the ad on these ludicrous grounds are all Gen Z TikTok users with blue hair and nose rings. But I'm afraid not. Because, in a quest to decide whether the ad is indeed 'Nazi propaganda', the TV channel ABC News spoke to an actual university professor – who declared, in all apparent seriousness, that the ad's tagline 'activates troubling historical associations for [the US]'. Specifically, 'the American eugenics movement, [which] in its prime, between 1900 and 1940, weaponised the idea of 'good genes' to justify white supremacism'. "The blond haired blue eyed actress talks about genes as in DNA being passed down..." "Nazi propaganda with racial undertones..." This is Good Morning America. This is ABC News. — MAZE (@mazemoore) July 29, 2025 Well, I suppose that's one way of looking at it. But perhaps I could venture to put forward an alternative. Which is that the ad is not, in fact, part of a neo-Nazi plot to help usher in the Fourth Reich, but is instead intended to sell denim trousers. Hence the use of a famous young actress to show how good the denim trousers look. As for the pun on her having 'great genes', I suspect it refers to the actress's celebrated physical attractiveness rather than her suitability to lead the master race in a conquest of Europe. Still, whatever the motives of American Eagle's bosses, this imbecilic uproar has earned their products more publicity than they could ever have dreamed of. It's the inverse of 'go woke, go broke'. Offend the Trots, earn lots.
