The entertainment industry is fascinating, says Sydney Sweeney
Sydney Sweeney is fascinated by the entertainment industry.
The 27-year-old actress has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, starring in 'Euphoria' and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' - and Sydney has admitted to loving every aspect of the industry.
The blonde beauty - who now has her own production company, Fifty-Fifty Films - told Empire: "This industry is so fascinating.
"There are so many chats, pieces and moves to make, and I find that really exhilarating. It's constantly changing.
"I love acting, but being able to step outside of that and then see how everything comes together, and understand what every crew member needs and what it takes to get a project from imagination to conception ... When people see it in the theatres or on screen, it's been a really long, hard process, but I love it."
Sydney starred alongside Glen Powell in 'Anyone but You', the 2023 rom-com.
The movie proved to be a hit with fans, but was widely panned by critics.
Sydney reflected: "Critics all have their own opinions, and you can't just try and make critics happy, because you're not thinking about everybody else. It's a different process and a different experience."
Sydney previously admitted that she would "absolutely love" to work with Glen again.
The actress told Vanity Fair's 2025 Hollywood Issue: "We definitely are very supportive of each other's careers. We watch and talk about each other's projects all the time, or even if we're both debating between projects, we'll call each other up and ask for advice.
"I just saw him last week and we were talking through some projects, so we definitely have a really great working relationship. We would absolutely love to work on something else together."
'Anyone but You' actually became a big success despite having a modest opening at the box office.
Reflecting on the film's popularity, Sydney shared: "It was all because of the fans.
"I loved it. I felt like none of it was forced on the audience. They really fell in love with it themselves and they shared that love with everybody. I love that the marketing came from them."

Award-winning actors Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds join forces with Australia's successful SailGP team
Australia's series leading SailGP team has added the ultimate star power, with Hollywood actors Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds coming on board as co-owners. The Australian team – led by one of the country's most decorated drivers in Tom Slingsby – had been running off the smell of an oily rag with no major backer compared to their cashed-up global rivals. But this will change thanks to A-listers Jackman and Reynolds in a major boost for Australia's three-time SailGP champions. In a further coup for the Australians, BONDS underwear has signed on as a major sponsor as part of fresh rebrand. The Australian SailGP team will now be officially called the BONDS Flying Roos. Luring Jackson's support is a significant result for the future of Australia's SailGP team. The Sydney-born talent has conquered the world with his acting exploits, most notably for his award-winning efforts as Wolverine in the X-Men films. Reynolds is a star in his own right, excelling in multiple movies, while he also has experience in sport as a co-owner of Welsh soccer club, Wrexham. Together Jackman and Reynolds will bring significant global profile and presence for Australia's successful SailGP team. 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure,' Jackman and Reynolds said in a statement. 'Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia. No comment on whether we're writing this in our BONDS. No further questions.' Slingsby – the driver, CEO and co-owner of the Bonds Flying Roos is thrilled to see Jackman and Reynolds link with the team. 'This is an incredible milestone for us and for our sport, having global icons Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds come on board as co-owners of our team,' Slingsby said. 'They bring unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of humour that fits perfectly with our team. With BONDS joining as our Title Partner and the launch of the BONDS Flying Roos, we're building something distinctly Australian; a team driven by spirit, resilience, and national pride.' The BONDS multi-year partnership marks the first time the Australian SailGP Team has had a title partner. As both official title partner and official underwear partner, BONDS brings more than a century of Aussie heritage - and signature comfort - to the BONDS Flying Roos. 'BONDS is famous for its signature Aussie spirit and it's no secret that Aussies love sport, being on the water, and just a hint of danger. Enter SailGP, the next exciting chapter in our journey to take BONDS to the world,' says Tanya Deans, President BONDS Australia. 'We're thrilled to join forces with such an iconic duo and an adrenaline-fuelled sport ready for its moment in the spotlight. And how do you say no to Hugh Jackman? He's Australian royalty! As we set sail on this new adventure, the BONDS Flying Roos have one less thing to worry about – we've got their backs (and bums) covered.' The BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team will make their official debut under their new name and ownership at the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix from June 7-8. The Australian crew aims to defend their leading position on the leaderboard while striving for a memorable victory to celebrate their new co-owners and partners. Founded in 2019 by Sir Russell Coutts and Larry Ellison, SailGP pits 12 national crews in identical 50-foot foiling catamarans, ripping past 100 km/h just metres from shore in the world's most iconic harbours. Led by Olympic gold medallist Slingsby, Australia has owned the leaderboard, three championships in four seasons, and now embarks on a new chapter aimed at super-charging fan engagement far beyond the dock.

Wicked: For Good will be ‘delicate' with Dorothy, director Jon M. Chu says
'Wicked: For Good' director Jon M. Chu has insisted the movie will be "delicate" with Dorothy Gale. The upcoming blockbuster - which will follow on from the events on 2024's 'Wicked' - will introduce the young girl from Kansas as she embarks on her journey down the Yellow Brick Road, and while Chu, 45, has said Dorothy will have a more prominent arrival in the flick than she does in the stage play of which 'Wicked: For Good' is based on, the filmmaker emphasised they would "tread lightly" around the character. Speaking to Vanity Fair about Dorothy and her crew's walk down the Yellow Brick Road, Chu said: "That intersection is the place that we were first introduced to Oz. "We tread lightly, but try to make more sense of how it impacts our girls and our characters than maybe the show does." He added: "We're delicate. We're delicate. We're delicate." The 'Crazy Rich Asians' director emphasised 'Wicked: For Good' is more about the friendship of Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande) than it is about Dorothy - who was famously portrayed by Judy Garland in the 1939 film 'The Wizard of Oz'. He explained: "I think the meat of what 'Wicked' is all about happens in movie two. To me, this is why this story exists. "This is where our childhood dreams collide with our adult selves." 'Wicked: For Good' - which will be based on the second half of the Broadway musical - will follow Elphaba and Glinda after they parted ways in the first movie. Now a fugitive, Elphaba flees to the western skies and forests, while Glinda rises as a public figure manipulated by the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh). Chu teased: "Our heart was broken when Glinda can't make the choice that we want her to so badly at the end of movie one, and it feels empowering for Elphaba to fly away from society. "In movie two, we get to see the consequences of those choices. The temperature is up." As the film heads towards its November release, Chu said he was still doing "little tweaks here and there" on 'Wicked: For Good'. He said: "We're almost there. We're inches away. I have a couple choices of things to flip around in the timeline; I can't quite tell. "So I'm at the very last moment. They're trying to rip the movie away from me right as we speak. I will not let it go until they rip it out of my hands." While 'Wicked: For Good' will mostly stay true to the stage musical, Chu teased the two new songs written by original 'Wicked' composer Stephen Schwartz that would feature in the movie. He said: "I think it's been reported we have two new songs. They're great additions to this movie. They were necessary in this movie to help tell the story. "To have Stephen Schwartz back behind the keys—it's pretty extraordinary to watch him work."
