Sydney Sweeney just clarified that she “never felt confident” about having big boobs until she starred in Euphoria.
The 28-year-old actress spent her teens wanting to “hide” her body but taking on the role of Cassie in the HBO drama series helped her realise the power of feeling comfortable with herself.
She told Us Weekly: “I grew up with boobs. I was wearing a 32DD in sixth grade, and I never felt confident.”
Sydney continued, “I never had anything I felt good in, and I just wanted to hide. It wasn’t until [I played] Cassie in Euphoria that I started realising it’s actually powerful to be confident.”
“Our bodies are incredible. We should embrace [them] and feel really good in our skin,” she said.
But after struggling to find underwear that fit her curvy frame, Sydney was inspired to launch her own lingerie brand: Syrn.
She said: “I’d always be like, ‘Oh, this fit doesn’t work. I don’t have the support I want. The straps are digging into my shoulders or it’s kind of itchy and riding up.’”
“I started a whole Pinterest board of thousands of photos of inspiration, and I [thought], ‘I should actually do this.’ And we put it together,” the Christy star mentioned.
“That’s kind of why I wanted to build all these different worlds. So [women] could honestly choose what they wanted to be [at] the start of the day or the end of the day,” she added.
The Housemaid actress previously admitted that she longed to have a breast reduction when she was younger but she is “so glad” she didn’t go through with the procedure.
She told Britain’s Glamour magazine in 2023: “When I was in high school, I used to feel uncomfortable about how big my boobs were and I used to say that when I turned 18, I was going to get a boob job to make them smaller.”
“And my mom told me, ‘Don’t do it. You’ll regret it in college.’ And I’m so glad I didn’t. I like them. They’re my best friends,” she said, adding, “Everybody’s body is beautiful. When you are confident and you’re happy within is when it really shows to other people.”
“Once I became more confident with myself, [it changed]. I want to show girls that it’s amazing and beautiful and empowering to have the bodies that we have,” Sydney Sweeney concluded at that time.
