'Euphoria' Star Sydney Sweeney Opens Up About Wanting Kids: 'I Have Always Dreamed of Being a Mother'
Sydney Sweeney is known for portraying Cassie in Euphoria, but her acting journey began when she was just 10 years old. In a pair of recent interviews, Sweeney shared how she drew up a plan for breaking into Hollywood as a child. The actress also opened up about her dreams of having kids — and evidently, she's behind on her original timeline.
In August 2023, Sweeney sat down with S Moda to discuss all things related to her life goals. And one thing is for sure: She is a planner.
The young star was only 10 when she presented her parents with a detailed proposal for breaking into acting.
“I grew up in a small town, so I had no idea what Hollywood or LA was like, I just knew that I wanted to be on TV because of how amazing it must be,” she told S Moda. “My parents didn’t know anything about this world either, nor did we have any connection, they thought it was like I wanted to be a princess, that I wasn’t serious, but I changed their minds with a presentation explaining what I needed to do for the next five years.”
Aside from becoming an actress, Sweeney, 25, initially hoped to be married and have a child by 22.
“There are just different times for everything,” Sweeney told the publication, per Just Jared. “I always want to give 150% in everything I do, be it acting, producing, being a friend, daughter or mother."
She continued: "I want to make sure that when the time comes I will give it my all. I have always dreamed of being a mother, since I was little, but I also want to be able to give everything to that boy or girl or whatever they want to be.”
Sweeney and her fiancé Jonathan Davino have been dating in 2018. In February 2022, the actress was spotted with a ring on "that" finger, and their engagement was officially confirmed a month later.
In a separate interview with Variety, which was also published in August, Sweeney spoke about wanting kids younger in life.
“I always thought I’d have a kid by now,” she told the publication. “I always wanted to be a young mom. I love acting, I love the business, I love producing, I love all of it. But what’s the point if I’m not getting to share it with a family?”
Although her plans have clearly changed as her career took off and *life* happened, Sweeney does have a specific number of children in mind.
“The time will come, and I’ll have four kids,” Sweeney said. “And they will come with me everywhere and be my best friends."
