There are several minor scenes of the Euphoria actress in the film and in an interview with Chicks in the Office (via Far Out Magazine), here’s what the actress had to say about the 2019 film.
“I was freaking out because I felt so stupid. Because in so many interviews, I was like, ‘I love Leonardo DiCaprio.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, I hope he’s never seen anything that I’ve said.’ I was like, ‘Oh my god, I feel so embarrassed right now, but I doubt he even knows who I am,’”
As her career flourished, the actress recently starred in the film Immaculate. Being a horror film, Sweeney has quite a vivid experience to tell as the actress talked about how the film came to be and a famous scene that she wanted to have in the film.
