Sydney Sweeney has never been one to play it safe, and that’s exactly what fans love about her. From Euphoria to Anyone But You, she has taken on daring roles that often involve n*dity. While some stars eventually shy away from such scenes, Sweeney is standing firm in her choices.
In a recent interview as well, she opened up about why she’s still committed to doing n*de scenes and how they empower her as an actress. For her, such scenes have never been about shock value; in fact, it’s about owning her body and her choices. Let’s take a closer look at what she said and why it matters.
Sydney Sweeney explains why she has no plans to quit n*de scenes
Actress Sydney Sweeney has built her career on playing emotionally complex and unapologetically bold characters. From her breakout role in The Handmaid’s Tale to the emotionally raw Cassie in HBO’s Euphoria, she has proven time and again that she’s not afraid to take on tough performances – n*dity included.
In a new interview with W Magazine, the 27-year-old actress opened up about why she has no plans to stop doing n*de scenes. For her, doing such sequences is not about shock value, but more about storytelling and strength. She added, “I feel powerful,” and that playing Cassie in the teen drama helped her gain a strong sense of confidence and self-awareness.
The actress further said that for characters like Cassie, who use their bodies to express emotion, intimacy on screen plays a key role in showing who they truly are. She said:
I think that the female body is a very powerful thing. And I’m telling my character’s story, so I owe it to them to tell it well and to do what needs to be done.
Moreover, Sweeney also reflected on her growth as an actress and said that while she once struggled with stage fright, she now feels comfortable in her own skin, especially when the scene serves the story. This isn’t the first time the actress has touched upon the topic.
Back in 2022 as well, she shared via Teen Vogue that n*dity is a natural part of life and that it shouldn’t be treated as something shameful. Well, the actress surely knows what she’s doing, and fans can clearly see her confidence in her performances.
Sydney Sweeney calls out double standards over n*de scenes in Hollywood
Sweeney’s performance in Euphoria has been one of her most talked-about roles to date. But while the HBO teen drama earned praise for its raw and intense storytelling, the actress feels her n*de scenes have often taken the spotlight away from her actual acting.
In an interview via Game Rant, the actress shared that many people focus more on her body than the performance itself. She also pointed out how differently her work on The White Lotus was received, where she didn’t have as many explicit scenes. There, she felt her acting was taken more seriously and not overshadowed by n*dity.
Sweeney also touched upon the double standards women face in the industry. According to her, male actors who do s*x scenes or appear n*de are still praised and celebrated. But when a female actor does the same, the conversation quickly shifts and often becomes critical or dismissive.
Though she never had any issues while filming Euphoria, her major issue lies in how people outside the production interpret and judge her choices.
You can currently stream Euphoria in the USA on Max and Hulu.
