Sydney Sweeney addresses her relationship with co-star Glen Powell

Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney was rumored to be romantically involved with fellow co-star Glen Powell as they filmed their upcoming romantic-comedy Anyone But You back in Australia during spring.

She recently appeared on the cover of Variety’s latest Power of Young Hollywood Issue where she finally addressed the rumors and said “It’s a rom-com. That’s what people want! Glen and I don’t really care. We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he’s such a hard worker, and I’m a hard worker.”

In the interview that was held before the actors went on strike in July, Sweeney added, “We’re excited about the press tour, and I literally just left ADR with him. We talk all the time like, ‘That’s really funny.’ They want it. It’s fun to give it to ’em.”

Sydney Sweeney’s off-screen romance rumors were fueled by Glen Powell’s breakup

Fans were quick to point out that the news of the two of them being involved off-screen and how comfortable they were with each other in the pictures shared could have led to Powell’s breakup with then-girlfriend Gigi Paris. A source, however, shared at the time that the couple had been on the rocks ever since Powell’s Top Gun: Maverick came out.

They said, “The couple has been on the rocks since Top Gun came out due to the distance necessitated by Powell’s filming schedule.” There were no statements or clarifications stated a the time by either of them.

Talking about Sweeney, she is engaged to Chicago-based restaurateur Jonathan Davino, as she had mentioned initially that she prefers not to date people from the industry or who are always in the limelight.

She said back in 2022, “I don’t date actors or musicians or anyone in entertainment because I can just be normal Syd that way and it’s easiest. I have a great support system. I have people who will battle for me and allow me to be on a pedestal and shine without making me feel like, ‘Oh no, I’m shining too bright and I need to step back.’  I need to be able to be with someone who I can literally hang out with 24/7 and never get sick of and we laugh every single day.”

Gluck said, “She never left the set. She never went to her trailer. She’s so blazingly smart, and she’s such a quick study, and she’s not afraid to ask questions. Her other superpower is that she doesn’t sleep. Two hours every night.”

The director also added, “Sydney is brilliant at a lot of things, including how to deal with social media; she didn’t emotionally internalize it. It was crazy, but after a while it became normal.” She acted as a camp counselor for the cast and crew as she planned activities and outings for everyone, which was much appreciated by the crew.

Anyone But You will premiere in theaters on December 15, 2023
