Sydney Sweeney is known for making waves thanks to her character Cassie on Euphoria. She's also known for making splashes with unique LBDs and more on the red carpet, and for diving in and producing her own work, sometimes to great box office success. But you might be surprised to learn that in her downtime she's a sporty girl who enjoys working on her vintage Bronco. At least, her Euphoria co-stars were surprised to find this out.
Sweeney was promoting her series "Syd's garage" when she made the Euphoria-related confession. She said she used to work on her vintage cars all weekend in between filming shoots and sometimes would even bring those vehicles with her to the HBO set when she had downtime. She told ET her co-stars were very surprised to find out this fact about her:
If people know about it, they ask, 'You know how to work on a car?' After Euphoria, if I wrapped on a day or had a day off, I'd go to the garage and work on my Bronco. And when I would come to work the next day, they'd be like, 'What'd you do?' And I'd say, 'Oh, I went to the garage.' And they were just so confused. And I would drive my cars to set and I would work on them in basecamp. They'd be like, 'What is Sydney doing?'
Driving has always been a big part of her life. She's a heavy thumbs up on any vehicle she can drive manually, even if it's a "workout" on the LA freeways. One of her childhood friends' dads, Rod Emory, set her up with an official garage to work in, and the rest has been history. Though, she doesn't get her 1969 Bronco out as much as she'd like, even after switching her car from the original manual to automatic in order to handle the traffic challenges.
