Sydney Sweeney says she felt typecast after ‘Euphoria’
Euphoria.The actor, who plays Cassie Howard in the HBO teen drama, described how the “sexualised character” had an impact on people’s perceptions of her.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Sweeney said: “Cassie is a sexualised character, and that became a mould that was then [forced] onto me as a human instead of just Cassie. I was seeing people say, ‘Oh, she only got this because she showed her boobs.’ I had multiple shows and movies before I even did Euphoria.“I look very different in everything I do because I want to become the character individually, and I don’t want people to associate Sydney Sweeney with a character – I want them to fully feel like they’re experiencing another world and another person.”Sweeney said her role as Olivia Mossbacher in HBO’s The White Lotus, combined with other past roles, helped shift perceptions.She added: “People didn’t tie in that a couple of months before, I did Handmaid’s Tale, or before that I was in Everything Sucks.
