“It’s good to face fears.” That’s Sydney Sweeney‘s wisdom about doing live television, specifically her hosting duties recently on Saturday Night Live.
The two-time Emmy-nominated actress made her comments during a Q&A panel here at SXSW. Sweeney is in Austin for the world premiere of her Neon horror film Immaculate, which she stars in and produced. It plays at the Paramount Theatre tonight.
“I knew I would be terrified,” said Sweeney about agreeing to do SNL. “I wanted to do it.”
“I think it’s important to do things that scare you,” she said.
“The whole entire SNL experience, it was a challenge, it was terrifying.”

Among the sketches the Euphoria actress appeared in was one where she was the top waitress at Hooters, hands down. Another entailed her Anyone But You co-star Glen Powell making a cameo in a sketch and stealing her from a bad dinner date. Others involved her hitting on Air Bud at high school and a short in which she has the hots for openly gay SNL star Bowen Yang.
In a lengthy discussion about her young career, Sweeney gave a shout-out to Sharp Objects and The Handmaid’s Tale as projects that catapulted to her beyond co-star and featured-extra status. While she has lightning in a bottle now, the actress shared with the jam-packed Austin Convention Center auditorium that it took her 10 years to get her agents.
Talking about highs and lows with auditioning, Sweeney dished, “sometimes casting directors aren’t your friends.”
“I’ve had casting directors eat food while (I’m) in an audition, or take a phone call, or not look up from the page.”

Sydney Sweeney has opened up more about starring in Sony Pictures‘ Madame Web, which she has described as a “strategic business decision”.Speaking to GQ UK recently, Sweeney responded to the film’s negative reception and co-star Dakota Johnson‘s comments about the film’s production and flop at the box office. While Johnson said she “probably will never do anything like it again”, Sweeney’s open to taking another crack at the film: “I think that if the story is right and you have the right team, I would love to.”However, Sweeney also revealed that her decision to act in Madame Web was more of a business move than anything else: “To me that film was a building block, it’s what allowed me to build a relationship with Sony.
Sydney Sweeney is experiencing a great moment in her career. The 26 year old actress, who’s been featured in some of the most notorious Hollywood projects over the past five years, just starred in one of last year’s biggest films. She was also the host of a “Saturday Night Live” episode and starred and produced in the film “Immaculate,” which is currently in theaters.In a new interview, Sweeney discussed the challenges of Hollywood and the passion she feels for building her own projects from the ground up.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Sydney Sweeney said in a recent interview with GQ UK that starring in Sony’s “Madame Web” was a “strategic business decision” that more or less paid off despite the film being one of the year’s most infamous box office flops. In Sweeney’s eyes, “Madame Web” got her in the door at Sony Pictures and that’s where she was able to have a massive box office success with the romantic comedy “Anyone but You.” “To me, that film was a building block, it’s what allowed me to build a relationship with Sony,” Sweeney told the publication. “Without doing ‘Madame Web’ I wouldn’t have a relationship with the decision-makers over there.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Sydney Sweeney’s had a huge 2024 so far — and her most startling act of the year is still ahead. In the early weeks of the year, her Sony Pictures romantic comedy with Glen Powell, “Anyone But You,” showed remarkable staying power at the box office, eventually building from a tepid early result amid holiday competition to over $200 million at the global box office on the strength of word-of-mouth.
To the surprise of no one (at least no one familiar with “Morbius“), “Madame Web” was a box office bomb and the first cinematic laughingstock of 2024. Not a great start of the year for Sony, who has two other spinoffs in its “Spider-verse” hitting theaters this year: “Kraven The Hunter” on August 30 and the newly titled “Venom: The Last Dance” on October 25.
Sydney Sweeney has addressed the box office flop of her latest film, Sony‘s superhero flick Madame Web.Last month, Madame Web premiered in cinemas around the world on February 14, and in its first six days, it took just $26.2 million (£20.8 million) in the US, and a further $25.7 million (£20.4 million) internationally. This represents an underperformance, even compared to Sony’s recent Morbius, which itself was seen as a commercial disappointment.The film has so far failed to garner any commercial success, rending it a “flop” at the box office.
Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino are celebrating the premiere of their new movie Immaculate at South by Southwest Conference Festival.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Sydney Sweeney just premiered her latest movie, “Immaculate,” at SXSW, and it marks her third high profile release in four months. She conquered the box office opposite Glen Powell in the hit romantic comedy “Anyone But You” (which has earned more than $200 million worldwide), and then she experienced her first studio flop with the Sony comic book tentpole “Madame Web.” Not that Sweeney is too concerned. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the actor was unfazed when asked about “Madame Web” being widely mocked.
In the realm of religious horror, one filled with tales of divine terror, Immaculate emerges as the latest contender. Yet despite its promising setup within the shadowy confines of an Italian nunnery and a cast led by Sydney Sweeney, Álvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli and Simona Tabasco, the film struggles to carve out a niche for itself. Directed by Michael Mohan and written by Andrew Lobel, the movie treads familiar ground, recycling familiar elements without delivering the novel twists, deeper insights or genuine horror in a genre that thrives on the exploration of faith’s darker dimensions.
Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Fresh off her recent stint hosting “Saturday Night Live,” Sydney Sweeney made her way to Austin and SXSW for the world premiere of her new religious horror film “Immaculate” — and on Tuesday night, she had the crowd screaming (and laughing at their own reactions) at the Paramount Theatre. The jump scares, in particular, had the entire theater jumping — and then giggling at their own fear. “Immaculate” leans into horror but also has plenty of moments of dark humor.
William Earl administrator Sydney Sweeney is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but fans are sure to be shocked by her wild new horror movie that pushes her creativity in front of and behind the camera to new extremes. “Immaculate” is the third project that director Michael Mohan and Sweeney have collaborated on, after the 2018 series “Everything Sucks!” and the 2021 thriller “The Voyeurs.” Their newest creative vision is a project filled with twists, blood and a surprising amount of horniness for a movie set at an Italian convent. Sweeney plays Cecilia, an American nun who transfers to Italy and is forced to face a lot of dark secrets hidden in the walls of the gorgeous nunnery.
