Sydney is a skilled mechanic and car expert

Sweeney initially gives the impression that she is content playing dress-up in luxury attires and flaunting her opulent lifestyle on Instagram. However, it was later revealed that not all aspects of Sweeney's life and interests are adequately represented on her Instagram page. She also has a separate social media profile on TikTok where she displays her entirely separate passion for restoring classic cars and working as a car mechanic when not acting.

Fans were shocked when Sydney admitted that she actually handles her own truck bodywork and repair. After all, she doesn't exactly exude the impression of a person who could do such a thing. The 'Euphoria' actress revealed that she got into the habit while taking a break from the popular HBO program by pleading with a family friend for space in their body shop. The 25-year-old star has been diligently putting in the work over the past two years while she meticulously fixes her classic cherry-red 1969 Bronco, as per UNILAD.

Sydney is an entrepreneur

Sweeney not only performs as an actor but also earns a substantial amount of money by endorsing a broad range of products. More importantly, she developed her passion for business by launching her own production company, Fifty-Fifty Films. The company's first TV series, 'The Players Table' is in development, with the aid of renowned directors Jean-Marc Vallee and Nathan Ross' Crazyrose and Endeavour Content. It is a TV adaptation of Jessica Goodman's debut novel, 'They Wish They Were Us,' as per Deadline.

She discussed the project with Variety magazine and stated: "I’ve always wanted to try as many possibilities as I possibly could. And I realized that I could build entire worlds in movies and TV shows. And I love reading books and bringing them to life. I wanted to bring my voice to all of these stories that I saw in my brain."

The actress admitted becoming fairly interested in the MMA scene during her appearance on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show.' She continued by saying that she had the chance to train alongside several of Ronda Rousey's senseis.

But MMA wasn't the first fighting sport Sweeney encountered. The 25-year-old admitted that she started learning taekwondo at age 5 to help her manage her hyperactivity. She added that she also participated in competitive wrestling in high school too. Sydney told Marie Claire magazine: "I’m trained in mixed martial arts. I started when I was 14 and did my first competition at 18. It was a grappling competition against all guys a weight category above me and I got first place."

Sydney is an outdoor person

According to The Thing, Sweeney is frequently sighted in the highlands looking for secluded waterfalls to climb and swim in, compared to some of her peers who prefer to simply laze around a pool. She, along with her former 'Baywatch' star friend, Alexandra Daddario were spotted exploring some of the lush island jungles while filming HBO's 'The White Lotus' in Hawaii.

Sweeney also picked up water skiing in the Spokane, Washington, area. She frequently displays her exceptional surfing prowess on Instagram. Given that she frequently engages in this activity with her family each year, it appears that Sweeney's close-knit and extended families all like participating in winter sports. The 'Reality' actor loves exploring mountains with her dog, Tank, who is an important presence in her life.
