Sydney Sweeney has emerged as a familiar face on television thanks to her incredible performance as Cassie Howard in the hit HBO series Euphoria, for which she even got an Emmy nomination. With that said, it appears she left her Anyone But You co-star stuttering with one just simple word while filming the movie.
Sydney Sweeney’s sleeper hit, Anyone But You has unexpectedly dominated theaters and is now creating ripples internationally. The movie’s success is being hailed as a revival of romantic comedy films.
Sydney Sweeney Made Her Anyone But You Co-Star Stutter With One Simple Word
Anyone But You featuring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, is loosely based on William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. The film reaffirms that a story doesn’t have to be complex or overloaded with special effects to be financially successful.
As revealed by a clip from an interview making rounds on Twitter, Sydney Sweeney’s Anyone But You co-star Dermot Mulroney revealed that Sweeney calls him ‘dad’ on set and this ended up stuttering him in a big way.

It is not really hard to see why Dermot Mulroney would stutter in the first place, considering it is Sydney Sweeney, whom many view as one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.
Anyone But You Director Discusses The Film’s Musical Number
In his interview with The Hollywood Reporter, filmmaker Will Gluck talked about his directorial approach to Sydney Sweeney’s Anyone But You. Returning to the genre that boosted his career in the mid-2010s, he aimed for his latest project to leave a lasting impression.
“I really did feel a huge obligation to maybe make the last rom-com in the history of cinema and theatricality. I really wanted this to feel big and epic and musical and funny and sexy and edgy and adult in order to get people to experience it in the theater with their friends and their dates.”
Over the past few years, romantic comedy films have taken a backseat as superhero and science fiction movies dominate the scene. With an abundance of content in these genres, fans seem to have grown weary and are craving something light and easy. Gluck promised to deliver just that.
“I sound like a pitchman, but I guarantee that when you walk out of this movie, you will have had a good, fun experience, which rom-coms always deliver.”
One of the most intriguing features of the movie was the end-credits scene, where the cast of Anyone But You sings to Natasha Bedingfield’s Unwritten. The director revealed he chose this song because everyone knows the lyrics.
“When I started playing [“Unwritten”] and the other [potential] song for people, I very quickly realized that everyone knows [“Unwritten”]. No matter how snarky or how much of a curmudgeon someone might be, you can’t not love that song. And we knew we were right when we started playing it out loud in the bar scene with 300 extras. They all knew the song, and I was like, ‘Oh sh*t, everyone knows this song.’ ”
Hence, he integrated the song as the musical number at the end of the movie. Undoubtedly, it left an impact on the audience, with Unwritten lingering in their minds as they exited the theater.
