Glen Powell Talks About His Anyone But You Co-star Sydney Sweeney
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly in December 2023, Glen Powell spoke about his Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney. The Set It Up actor mentioned that a romantic comedy cannot survive without chemistry between the actors. He said-
“A great rom-com doesn’t survive without great chemistry, and Sydney is the easiest person to have chemistry with. I mean, immediately, it was like we’d known each other forever, and I think anybody that’s been on the set realizes I never get tired of talking to Sydney. We make each other laugh She’s awesome, obviously one of the most talented actresses we have. This movie has felt like a rom-com in itself because Sydney is very easy to pretend to fall in love with.”
While talking about how Sydney Sweeney’s popularity has impacted him, the Top Gun actor pointed out
“Sydney has been … an Internet sensation for a while. This is my first leap into that. Any time you’re near Sydney, I realize you get the full force of her fame. But look, the best part about it is we truly love each other, and we respect each other. We had the greatest time making this thing.”
