‘People forget I’m playing a character’
Actress Sydney Sweeney, who shot to fame on HBO’s ‘Euphoria’, has said she ‘won’t stop’ filming nude scenes in Hollywood.
The 26-year-old hasn’t shied away from nude scenes during her career which has earned her a ‘sex symbol’ status.
However, Sweeney has previously said some people struggle to separate her from the characters she plays.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter in 2022, Sweeney said: “People forget that I’m playing a character, they think ‘oh, she gets naked onscreen, she’s a sex symbol’.
“I can’t get past that. I have no problems with those scenes, and I won’t stop doing them, but I wish there was an easier way to have an open conversation about what we’re assuming about actors in the industry.”
Sweeney starred in ‘Euphoria’ alongside Hunter Schafer, Angus Cloud and Jacob Elordi in 2019 and went on to star in the likes of ‘The White Lotus’, ‘Anyone But You’ and ‘Madame Web’.
She said she ‘fully trusts’ the filmmakers she works with, particularly Sam Levinson who wrote ‘Euphoria’.
Levinson is said to be writing the script for the third season of ‘Euphoria’ but has faced issues as he looks to take it away from a high school setting given the shows stars are all in their mid-late 20s now.
27-year-old Elordi addressed this issue on Jimmy Fallon as he said he hoped the third series went into production soon or ‘they’ll have to Benjamin Button me’.
Production on series three of ‘Euphoria’ is slated for January of next year.
Meanwhile, Sweeney has been cast to play boxer Christy Martin, nicknamed the female rocky in an upcoming film about Martin’s life, though filming has not yet begun on that biopic.
Chainsleuth Zachxbt recently investigated the convicted UK hacker Gurv (Gurvinder Bhangu) and found that he was involved in the recent hack of X accounts of celebrities Sydney Sweeney and Bob Odenkirk, which siphoned $530K Solana meme coins.
The Sydney Sweeney incident
On July 2nd, the Twitter (X ) account belonging to actress Sydney Sweeney was hacked through SIM swapping. The hack resembles the situation when the hacker puts a link to a meme coin on the hacked account and generates interest, which triggers a high peak in the coin’s demand and its subsequent drop.
These main wallets engaged in the scam used the project to sell over 515,000 coins before an attempt to cash it out was made. After the hack, the hacker resumed using Twitter and posted ridiculous rants and fake credits for other attacks like those of Hulk Hogan and 50 Cent.
Based on the timing analysis, Zachxbt could track the sequence of actions; the scam’s money was transferred to a Solana exchange to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The splitting of funds is evident on the blockchain, eliminating the possibility of a single person’s activities. Screenshots later indicated that Gurv received login codes for Sydney Sweeney’s account through Telegram, which speaks for his involvement.
Gurv’s Background
Gurv is a known hacker who has been to prison in the UK for hacking Instagram accounts and extorting from the victims. In his previous encounters with the police, he has said, ‘It’s not even a crime. ‘ Information obtained from the leaked Telegram groups, in which Gurv, whose ID was different from that of the other members, claimed to be a hacker discussing his prison term, links him to the current scams.
The wallets linked to the hacks currently contain around $488,000, some of which were spent in crypto casinos and to buy gift cards. Based on the numerous evidential materials available, starting with the links to transactions and ending with numerous screenshots, it is possible to count on the efficient actions of UK law enforcement against Gurv and his co-conspirators.
