The star of the series "Euphoria" and "The White Lotus" Sidney Sweeney has become a sought-after actress in recent years, with quite a few successes.
After being nominated for Emmy Awards, she also participates in a long series of advertising campaigns as a model.
And the more she is published, the more and more things are revealed about her.
Recently Sweeney has stunned her fans with an impressive string of martial arts performances, for example.
The actress looks like a typical Hollywood star, breaking through with her popular TV show, looks and impressive acting skills.
But it turns out that before she moved to Los Angeles, she was an unknown girl from a small town in Spokane, Washington, who spent her time training in MMA, mixed martial arts.
Sweeney started playing the sport when she was 14, and competed in her first competition at 18. Turns out she was tough, fighting against guys stronger than her.
"In the first competition, I competed against the guys in the weight category above me, and I came in first place," she said.
"Those guys probably said after they lost, 'Oh, we didn't want to hurt her,' but they definitely tried. They all had a really hard time in front of me."
She also said that in the past she trained with former world champion Ronda Rousey.
"I was very interested," she said.

The problem is that her acting career prevents her from practicing MMA: she is not allowed to train while she works.
"Unfortunately, in contracts with productions you sign a little piece of paper that says you can't do X, Y and Z, and I can't do these things," she explained, but since Sweeney wasn't working on any projects at the time, she could return to Big Love hers, and share with the audience.

A few months ago, the actress shared a post on Instagram with a video showing her skills during training.
"How I missed it," she wrote, in a post that gained great popularity even among the major sports websites in the US. According to her, "If I could enter the ring with anyone of my choice, I would want to do it with the annoying bullies from school, just take it all out in front of them." , she said. Maud Apatow, who plays her sister in the series, responded to her with two words about the harsh video: "Holy shit."
Now she also participates in a commercial for "Ford" and claims that it is no coincidence: the actress who was nominated for two Emmy Awards that year ("Euphoria", The White Lotus") actually grew up in a home of car enthusiasts and that it is still her hobby. "I do in the commercial what I do on A permanent base," she says, "the car you see in the commercial, it's like the van my grandfather had, an F100, on which I learned to drive, I wasn't allowed to touch a car with an automatic transmission until I was old... "All my uncles, my cousins, they're all
mechanics , tinkering with their cars all day, my mother is a die-hard fan of cars and engines, and I grew up on that, I saw everyone around me, in the garage, fixing cars, engines, I knew I wanted to do that too."

In fact, she already has a TikTok account called "Sid's Garage" for several years, where she documents herself doing her great hobby.
"I have a special language with cars," she says, "I understand their sound, there is a real connection between a person and his car... Knowledge is power, and knowing how your car works is super important, especially when you're driving."
Sweeney enjoys showing her diversity, since she claims, "I have big breasts, I'm blonde, so for a lot of people, that's all I have... In the series 'Euphoria' I think I did an amazing job, but everyone kept talking about the nude scenes Mine, I was told that I had the most beautiful chest in Hollywood... I had breasts before all the girls in my class, and I always felt that it was something that defined me...".
But this is a very diligent girl, who works hard.
"We grew up in a poor home, I always felt that my parents divorced because we had no money, that's why I work so hard now," she says.
And by the way, regarding her role in "Euphoria", Sweeney says that she hardly drinks alcohol, and does not touch drugs: "I'm worried that I'll get addicted to it, there's something in my family that makes us react differently to these substances, that's why I drink maybe once a year."
