Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to navigating insecurities, particularly during her younger years. What she now embraces as one of her signature assets was once the bane of her existence. “I had boobs before other girls and I felt ostracized for it,” she told GQ. “I was embarrassed and I never wanted to change in the locker room. I think that I put on this weird persona other people had of me because of my body. So I did play every sport and I studied really hard and I did everything that people wouldn’t think I would do, to show them that my body doesn’t define who I am.”
Her wardrobe back then? Let’s just say she was all about the oversized clothing to hide her body. The “Sharp Objects” actor even admitted she flirted with the idea of a breast reduction, telling Glamour, “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,” she recalled. “And my mom told me, ‘Don’t do it. You’ll regret it in college.’ And I’m so glad I didn’t.”
However, embracing her figure hasn’t shielded her from the occasional side-eye or scathing tabloid headline. “Well, especially when it comes to red-carpet pics and they’re like, ‘Sydney Sweeney displays bust,’ or ‘Sydney Sweeney wears a scandalous dress,’ I’m like, ‘I’m wearing the exact same dress someone else would be wearing! I just have tits,'” she added.
