Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

My thanks as always for clicking and listening along. Very excited to bring you my conversation

this week with one of the brightest young stars in Hollywood, Sydney Sweeney.

Maybe you know her and lover as Cassie on the hit HBO series Euphoria over the last couple of seasons with another one on the way.

Maybe you loved her in the first season of The White Lotus.

Perhaps you go back a little further to shows like Sharp objects and Handmaid's tale.

It's been an incredible five years or so for Sweeney on a run that she kind of saw coming, as she says very humbly, when she was about 10 or 11 years old,

she wrote a five-year business plan growing up outside of Spokane, Washington, explaining to her

parents how it was going to go down, how she was going

to break in somehow from this little town she grew up into Hollywood and become the actress that

she is today.

It took a little convincing, but when a low-budget

zombie movie came to her town, she auditioned, got a part, her parents thought, oh that's

the end of it, she got her dream. No, then they found themselves soon after making the 20-hour round

trip driving down to LA for auditions. It didn't take five years. It took about 10, but

Sydney pulled it off.

So a great conversation with Sydney Sweeney, I should point out, as we sat in this little restaurant

in New York City, we realized we both were fans and something of officicionados, her more than me frankly, of the

Ford Bronco. I've got one, she's got one, the difference is hers is probably a lot nicer.

Also she rebuilt hers by yourself, like built the engine and replace the brakes and did all the work herself. I had a little help, I have to confess. So

a lot of talk about her career, her rise, how she's doing with fame right now, and also a lot about

Ford Broncos. Sydney Sweeney right now on the Sunday Sit Down Podcast.
