“Euphoria” star Sydney Sweeney has highly learned parents who, despite their background, were willing to allow their daughter to follow her dream of becoming an actress. Sydney’s parents must be glad they supported their daughter, who has become one of the most well-known Hollywood stars.

They must be even more proud of their talented child after Sydney got 2 Emmy nominations, and the actress first shared the great news with her mother, of course. In a touching post that Sydney shared on Instagram, the actress can be seen in a video talking to her mom on the phone.

FACTS ABOUT SYDNEY’S FAMILY

Sydney Sweeney’s family is from Spokane, Washington, the actress revealed during an interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” She further mentioned how her parents love when he talks about Gonzaga.

Sydney’s parents are very educated, with her mom being a lawyer and her dad in the medical field. Her parents allowed her to explore other avenues despite being academically inclined. Speaking to Coveteur in 2019, Sydney said:

“I had a crazy imagination growing up. My parents always wanted me outside, so I had all these imaginary worlds.”

This freedom to imagine and explore gave birth to a desire to be in the entertainment industry. Sydney had her first taste of being part of a movie when an indie film held auditions in her hometown and landed her first acting role. One of the movies she has featured in, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” is her mom and her mom’s friends’ favorite film.

SYDNEY HAD TO CONVINCE HER PARENTS

Sydney Sweeney’s parents did not agree to allow their daughter to become an actress just like that; it took some serious convincing. According to Sydney, she had to make a Powerpoint presentation business plan to show them how serious she was.

Speaking about the experience, the “Everything Sucks!” actress revealed, “I put together a five-year business plan presentation about what could happen if they let me!” The presentation was so good that her parents allowed her to become an actress.

Sydney almost starred in another show instead of “Euphoria” because she was worried about her role in the series, which included nude scenes, among other things. It was only after she read the script that she realized how great the show was and decided to explain it to her mother someday.

THE FAMILY HAD FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES

The Washington native revealed that her family faced some financial difficulties. They moved from Spokane to Los Angeles after her parents agreed to her acting, which increased their cost of living. The family even had to file for bankruptcy once, and all these experiences helped Sydney understand the importance of savings.

It’s incredible how Sydney Sweeney’s parents support her choice despite all the difficulties Sydney’s family faced. In fact, her mother accompanied her to her first professional audition and also helps Sydney to run through her lines on the scripts.
