HuffPost
The "Euphoria" star talked about her childhood tormenters — and how they only made her work harder — in an interview for Glamour magazine's Women of the Year issue.
Sydney Sweeney says her road to fame was anything but smooth.
In an interview for Glamour magazine’s Women of the Year issue, the actor got candid about the challenges she faced while trying to make it in show business as a kid and how those obstacles made succeeding her only option.
Sweeney said she was just 12 when she found herself with a serious case of the acting bug after discovering an audition notice for a local independent film.
Set on finding some screen time, the tween sold her parents on her dream by drafting a PowerPoint presentation with a five-year business plan. After that, the family started to make the 38-hour round-trip drive between Spokane, Washington, and Los Angeles regularly.
And while her parents were beyond supportive, the same could not be said of Sweeney’s peers at school, according to the actor.
