Sydney Sweeney's blonde bombshell aesthetic just might be hereditary.
The "Euphoria" actress and the late Marilyn Monroe are distant relatives, according to a new MyHeritage study shared with USA TODAY.
The genealogy research site notes the actresses are ninth cousins, once removed, meaning that there is a one-generation gap between them.
The Hollywood darlings share the common ancestors Ezra Perry and Elizabeth Burgess, 17th-century British settlers in Massachusetts, through Sweeney's father, Steven Sweeney, and Monroe's biological father, Charles Stanley Gifford, according to the online genealogy company.
The Perry-Burgess lineage also includes former President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
