Sydney Sweeney feels that her commendable success on the silver screen came at the cost of her family\u2019s fallout. The 28-year-old, who stays in the spotlight for mostly the right reasons, recently revealed how her parents struggled to finance her decision to pursue a career in acting. Sweeney also stated that it led to something much worse than financial hardships.<\/p>\n
Sweeney appeared on the December 1 episode of the Awards Chatter<\/a> podcast to promote her upcoming movie, \u201cChristy.\u201d However, she couldn\u2019t restrict herself from revealing a few untoward personal experiences about how her parents paid the price for her decision to become an actor.<\/p>\n
The \u201cEuphoria\u201d star<\/a> revealed that her family relocated from Spokane, Washington, to Los Angeles during her childhood to support her dream of becoming an actor. Nevertheless, this move left her family in an economic crisis due to the comparatively high cost of living in LA. Sweeney said, \u201cGrowing up in a small town, when you come to L.A., like most of you probably know, prices in L. A. are crazy. Not anything like where I came from.\u201d<\/p>\n Moreover, Sydney\u2019s father, Steven Sweeney, soon \u201clost his job,\u201d which worsened things for the family. The 28-year-old revealed<\/a> that her parents eventually filed for bankruptcy when she was just 16, and then a divorce. <\/p>\n \u201cMy family filed for bankruptcy when I was 16,\u201d said Sweeney. \u201cThey filed for divorce, and I felt like a lot of it was my fault because I had brought them to the city [and] uplifted their entire lives, and I blamed myself for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cSharp Objects\u201d actress\u2019s self-induced guilt about being the reason behind her parents\u2019 separation lit a fire in her to succeed in her chosen field, so that she could do her best for both.<\/p>\n \u201cI put a lot of pressure on myself of needing to succeed and achieve all these things so I could put different things back together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
