Sydney Sweeney says her Euphoria character Cassie is set to get 'crazier'
The actress, 27, plays the backstabbing Cassie in the high school drama.
In an interview with Empire magazine, she said of her 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.'
And Sydney said that in the next chapter of the show, Cassie will get 'crazier.'
Speaking about the show's creator and director, Sam Levinson, she said: '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".
'This season is unhinged.'
Earlier this month, Zendaya was seen on the set of the HBO series in California as Rue.
The actress appeared distressed for cameras as she left a convenience store in LA's South Gate.
And in April, Sydney was seen shooting a scene with Alexa Demie.

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.

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.

Rose Byrne reveals the desperate lengths she went to for Hollywood fame
Rose Byrne might be a Hollywood A-lister these days, but that certainly hasn't always been the case. The Australian actress, 46, has revealed the 'desperate' lengths she went to in order to achieve fame in Tinsel Town. Rose appeared on Nova's Fitzy and Wippa with Kate Ritchie Show on Thursday alongside her Platonic co-star Seth Rogen, to chat about the anticipated new season of the hit Apple TV+ series. It wasn't long before the conversation turned to some of the Bridesmaids star's earliest attempts at stardom. Rose admitted that she wasn't shy about trying her luck in all manner of TV fare before nabbing her first small-screen role. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Did you ever try out for Neighbours or Home and Away when you were younger?' host Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald asked the actress. 'Oh yeah, I did an ill-fated soap called Echo Point that I'm sure you're familiar with - with some wonderful actors actually, in all seriousness, that was not....' she said before trailing off. Seth then diplomatically interjected with: 'It did not have the legs.' Continuing, Rose admitted that she did, indeed, audition for both iconic soaps, and was rejected. 'Oh yeah, I auditioned for Neighbours and Home and Away... all of them,' she said. Billed as a Home and Away 'killer', Echo Point was a short-lived soap that aired on Network Ten from June to December 1995. Rose starred as 'good girl' Belinda O'Connor in the soap, alongside the likes of Tom Long, Jessica Napier, Martin Henderson and Diarmid Heidenreich. Originally airing at 7pm to combat the iconic Seven soap, Echo Point failed to resonate with audiences, finishing its one-season run in the 11.30pm graveyard slot Elsewhere in the chat, Rose admitted to sustaining a very surprising injury while in Melbourne. 'I just bent and grabbed my bag off the floor the other day in Melbourne and I got a lumbar facet sprain and I couldn't move for two days,' Rose admitted. When co-host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli asked the star how she got off the ground, Rose replied: 'Barely. 'I was shuffled back to my room and lay in bed for two days.' Wanting to one-up his co-star, Seth also admitted to a recent malady while in the shower. 'I hurt my neck really badly shampooing my head,' he said. 'I was getting too vigorous a lather going and I hurt my neck. It hurt for two weeks.' It comes after it was announced that Rose's breakthrough 1999 Australian movie Two Hands is set to receive a sequel 25 years later. The film starred a 19-year-old Heath and Rose in a hilarious and confronting gangster story which has developed a cult following over the years. It was written and directed by Aussie filmmaker Gregor Jordan, who recently told The Sydney Morning Herald he had finished writing a sequel. 'We have a script that I think is really good. It brings it into the modern day,' Jordan began. 'If we'd tried to do a sequel five years later, it probably wouldn't have worked, but 25 years later is the right time.'
