Nude performances are a part of the acting craft. Several top actresses like Oscar winners Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, and Anne Hathaway have all done naked exposures in their work in movies.
In an interview, Sydney Sweeney spoke about how it felt to do sexy scenes. Though she admitted there was hesitation at first, she decided to allow the scene to be real. She was committed to keeping the scene real, giving strength to the story. She admitted to being a self-conscious person. After doing the part, she had felt empowered and more confident.
While other young actresses would stop at bikini shots, Sydney goes all-out nude in her work.
The 22-year-old actress was noticed in Hollywood by taking on risky, complex roles where she reveals her boobs and ass. The honesty of her performance has gotten her critical acclaim, earning her a best actress nomination from the Screen Actors’ Guild awards.
Here is a list of projects where Sydney showed her talent and courage
- A Handmaid’s Tale – In the award-winning Hulu series, she plays Eden, a child-bride married off to an older man under the rules of a dystopian world. Eden gives her virginity to her husband, but she falls in love with a younger man named Isaac. Both run away but are captured and executed for adultery.
- The role of Eden was to provide a fertile womb to a society with few fertile women; thus, the need for a sex scene portrayed the reality of this world.
- Vikes – A simple teen love story where a teenage girl convinces a boy to campaign to change the school’s mascot name in the spirit of political correctness. The boy does the task more to impress the girl than the belief in its inappropriateness. Being that it is a coming of age film, there is a scene where the two teens are intimate.
- Euphoria – Sydney’s Best work to date. It follows a group of high school kids as they face issues like sex, drugs, love, and tragedy. Sydney plays the hot Cassie, a tragic young girl who tries to escape her trauma through drugs, alcohol, and bad relationships with men. To make Cassie’s vulnerability to the audience, she has several sex scenes where she looks more pained than pleasured.
Very rarely can you find an actress willing to tackle complex psychological characters. You would think Sydney was a troubled young lady who can relate to the roles she plays. In truth, Sydney was a class valedictorian, a martial artist, and a business school student who grew up with successful parents. Her talents may someday lead her to an Oscar win.
