Sydney Sweeney has revealed that her dad and grandfather walked out of the room after watching her in a particularly risqué role.

The 27-year-old actress has enjoyed a glittering career since bursting onto the scene, appearing in projects such as Anyone but You, Immaculate and The White Lotus.

However, the actress has also learned that a career in Hollywood isn't always as fun as it looks, especially when it comes to the topic of sexually explicit content and family members.

One of the most recognisable roles of Sweeney's was her breakout role as Cassie Howard in HBO's Euphoria.

Set in a fictional high school in California, the gritty teen series tackles numerous heavy topics - such as drug abuse, revenge porn, mental illness and dating violence. Cassie's storylines in particular revolved included abortion, infidelity and low self-esteem due to hyper-sexualisation.

The series has since received praise from critics and fans for its decision to boldly tackle heavy storylines. However, it has also meant that its cast was left in an awkward position when it came to friends and family.

Recalling her relative's reactions to the show, Sweeney explained that her mum was fully aware of the explicit nature of the series as she had visited her numerous times on set - however, she didn't pre-warn her dad at all about the role.

"My mum visited me on set quite a few times, so she knew the story," she said in an interview with NBC's Sunday Today last year, before adding with a laugh: "I didn't prepare my dad at all."

This only became a problem when her father decided to hold a viewing party for the show with none other than Sweeney's grandparents without telling her, who were shocked by what they witnessed on screen.

"My dad and my grandpa turned it off and walked out," she admitted.

However, not everyone in the room was left feeling a little embarrassed, with the actress going on to add that her grandma hadn't been phased.

"My grandma... she's a fan. She's a big supporter," Sweeney added.

"I bring her all over the world to my different sets and I make her an extra."

So it's safe to say that grandma Sweeney will likely be tuning in for Euphoria season 3... if the series ever comes to fruition.

Commissioned back in February 2022, production on the third outing has faced numerous setbacks due to the now-resolved Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, as well as busy schedules of cast members such as Jacob Elordi and Zendaya.

HBO has since confirmed that production will begin in early 2025, with a release date yet to be confirmed.
