I was on every call. I was in text group chats. I was probably keeping everybody over at Sony marketing and distribution awake at night because I couldn’t stop with ideas. I wanted to make sure that we were actively having a conversation with the audience as we were promoting this film because, at the end of the day, they’re the ones who created the entire narrative.
Further, during Sydney Sweeney’s appearance on SNL, the actress addressed the “craziest rumor” in her monologue and stated that it’s “obviously not true”. Informing fans about her real-life relationship with her fiancé Jonathan Davino, who produced Anyone But You, the Euphoria actress cleared the air. Saying that Davino was ever-present on set, Sweeney noted that any backstage shenanigans with Glen Powell were unlikely.
