1
But you're a 13 year old girl, like what does fighting give you at that time in your life?
2
The element of surprise.
3
Ooh!
4
You get to see the great boots, great shoes too, Kat.
5
I know, you really, we pulled through the shoe game.
6
Strong shoe game.
7
I usually show up with my PJs.
8
For whatever reason, I was like, you know what? but I'm gonna just actually get dressed.
9
And then everyone liked the outfit, I was like, wow, this is the first time.
10
I'm so flattered.
11
Okay, so we're good?
12
Okay, whoa, we're going.
13
We're going.
14
I feel really lucky to be talking to you right now in particular, because you're a producer with a film with festival buzz.
15
Congratulations.
16
Thank you.
17
How does it feel to have Christie out in the world?
18
Christy is one of those projects and stories that, like when you're making it, the crew, the cast, everyone involved,
19
we all knew it was going to be something special.
20
We had Christy with us on set many days.
21
We would sometimes just like cry because of how powerful the story is.
22
And so being able to share that experience with the world
23
and to be able to show Christy's story to the world is so impactful.
24
And I'm beyond honored and proud that we were able to bring this story to life in the beginning, it's also really fun.
25
For context, like you've got headgear on.
26
Yes.
27
You've got a mouth guard in.
28
And you are grinning as you punch people.
29
And you look completely unselfconscious and completely joyful.
30
First of all, was it as much fun as it looked?
31
It was so much fun.
32
I was over the moon.
33
I felt like I finally came to life myself through Christie we really shaped every single fight to match Christie's fights.
34
And so all the different combos that you see me doing are the actual combos from the fights.
35
And I had the best girls to box with because they were down to actually fight.
36
And we would do full contact.
37
We were punching each other in the face.
38
And so a lot of those reactions are me as Christy, but also me just like couldn't believe that I actually did it just then.
39
So you have a background in martial arts.
40
I do.
41
Okay, so tell me about that.
42
You're what, 13?
43
Yeah, I was like 12, 13, and I started kickboxing and grappling.
44
And I trained at GoCore Hyaston with Sensei Jean LaBelle and Benny LeJet in GoCore.
45
and I did that from 12, 13 years old until I was about 19 and then I booked
46
Handmaid's Tale and Euphoria and I can't fight
47
and film at the same time because I'd come home with bruises
48
so I put it to the side
49
but I always wanted to find a story that would be able to bring that side of myself out.
50
But you're a 13 year old girl like what does fighting give you at that time in your life?
51
The element of surprise.
52
I was the only girl there
53
so there it was a lot of talk of oh what
54
is she doing here the dads are kind of a little like upset
55
that their sons would be fighting a girl and then I would sometimes win.
56
Okay so I have this sense
57
that you're someone who keeps a strong division between your characters
58
and your personal self and I just wondered if that is harder
59
when you've done this physical transformation for a character like Christy like
60
you come home or come back to your hotel room like in her body in some ways.
61
I actually learned so much more about myself throughout the process
62
and I am someone who I build my book for my character
63
and I learn everything about her life so
64
that I can fully jump in and out and throughout
65
that process of building Christy and working with Christy and filming the movie I started realizing I was like,
66
oh wow, I actually have more in common with her than I realized.
67
She is fighting a fight in her home life and she's also fighting a fight in the public.
68
And I think that for me, I find myself in a lot of battles,
69
both in front and not in front of the world.
70
So I definitely can relate.
71
I mean, Christie is a story about domestic violence and specifically like homophobia and domestic violence.
72
And The Housemaid, which I also saw, takes on domestic violence from, a totally different genre.
73
And then I did read that your American Eagle collection benefited a domestic violence charity.
74
Is that, do I have all that right?
75
Yes.
76
Okay.
77
You spent a lot of time this year working around that issue, and I just wondered if it meant something to you.
78
It does.
79
I always speak out about something that is important to me.
80
And for me to speak out, I use art.
81
And I think that through my characters and my movies, it's a way for me to be able to do my part
82
that I can and spread awareness in different ways through my characters.
83
And that's how I've always learned to communicate.
84
And it's really important.
85
If I look at your IMDb page, I'm thinking about you're on Euphoria,
86
which is a show that covers a lot of topics without taking a moral stance on any of them.
87
And you did Reality, which I love, which brought a lot of attention and humanity to the story of Reality Winner, the whistleblower.
88
It does not look like a very political career, but you have become very swept up in politics.
89
And so I wondered if that has surprised you as you put your ideas and yourself into art, not commentary.
90
I've always believed that I'm not here to tell people what to think.
91
I'm just here to kind of open their eyes to different ideas.
92
And so I think that's why I gravitate towards characters
93
and stories that are complicated and are maybe morally questionable and characters that are on the page hard to like,
94
but then you find the humanity underneath them.
95
And that's what I've always leaned towards.
96
I think a lot of people feel like it's better for art
97
if artists can keep themselves a little bit separate from politics.
98
Yeah, I've never talked about my personal life.
99
I know.
100
So what I'm going to do is talk about your year as a phenomenon in the culture.
101
Okay.
102
And a big thing that happened to you this year is that you ended your engagement.
103
And I got push notifications about it it was
104
and we all sort of looked up
105
and we're like oh sydney sweeney isn't just a talented actress
106
and an up-and-coming producer she's someone that people are really obsessed with
107
and really fascinated by oh man i know
108
and i just i wondered did your sense of your own
109
fame change this year no i surround myself with a really
110
really strong group of people who have been in my life since I was little.
111
And they take me out of Hollywood, take me out of this bubble and remind me what the real world is and that that's where I exist.
112
The idea of fame, it doesn't apply to my personal life.
113
I'm just sad.
114
You can't feel the difference in the volume at times.
115
If I turn on my phone, yes.
116
If I have my phone off and I'm home, no. Right.
117
Okay, so what is it like now being single?
118
Are you single?
119
I'm single.
120
Okay, you're single.
121
You are out there now as a person who has a lot of power, I would say.
122
A person who people are obsessed with and someone who I gather is like really, really focused on their work.
123
So I wonder how does that change what you're looking for?
124
I don't think I'm looking for a man right now.
125
What I've learned this year is that I have a really, really amazing group of girlfriends, and I am strong and independent,
126
and that I'm going to be okay.
127
If love finds me, love finds me.
128
I'm hopeless romantic, so I hope love finds me, but I'm not the type of person that wants to go out all the time.
129
and I do believe in true love and wanting to be with someone for the rest of my life.
130
So I'm not going to, you won't see me jumping around a lot of places.
131
Wait, jumping around a lot of places like?
132
Like guys.
133
Oh, okay.
134
Okay.
135
So you are making Anyone But You and there's sort of, what do we call it,
136
like a game almost with sort of letting rumors build about you and Glenn.
137
And we all now know that that was a projection, let's say on our parts, that wasn't real.
138
But it occurred to me that maybe that story doesn't go so viral
139
if you're not a very private person I imagine there are personal benefits to being private about your personal life
140
but are there also professional benefits to being private about your personal life the professional benefits for me
141
and being private is for my own just health and sanity.
142
If I let everybody in all the time, I have nothing for myself.
143
And I am just a 27 year old or 28 now.
144
I turned 27, 28 yesterday.
145
Happy birthday.
146
Thank you.
147
But I'm just a 28 year old woman who's trying to figure it out.
148
And I'm still learning and I'm going to make mistakes and I'm going to grow.
149
And I think that it's important to be able to do that without having to say every single thing all the time.
150
Right okay but so you're never tempted to just like open your notes app
151
and say this is what I really think
152
and this is who I am and this is going on in my life and like stop guessing and projecting.
153
I mean all offense to my girlfriends but other than
154
that no. No. No. Okay that's honestly really impressive like I know who I am.
155
Right.
156
I know what I I know that I'm a kind person.
157
I know that I love a lot.
158
And I know that I'm just excited to see what happens next.
159
And so I don't really let other people define who I am.
160
I'm happy to hear that.
161
I have a second-hand concern for you lately.
162
Thank you.
163
We're sort of talking around this American Eagle ad right now, and maybe we should just talk about it.
164
So were you surprised by the reaction?
165
I did a jean ad.
166
I mean, the reaction definitely was a surprise, but it was, I love jeans.
167
All I wear are jeans.
168
I'm literally in jeans and a t-shirt like every day of my life.
169
Jeans are uncontroversial.
170
Jeans are awesome.
171
You look great in your jeans.
172
I think I know how you're gonna answer this, but I'm gonna ask anyway.
173
I mean, the president tweeted about the jeans ad or Truth Socialed about the jeans ad.
174
And that just seems to me like a very crazy moment for anyone.
175
And I wondered what that was like.
176
It was surreal.
177
It was surreal.
178
And it would be totally human.
179
I would probably feel like thankful that somebody had my back in public,
180
you know, and conveniently some very powerful people had my back in public.
181
And I wondered if you felt that way.
182
I don't think that...
183
It's not that that feeling didn't...
184
I didn't have that feeling, but I wasn't thinking of it like that or like of any of it.
185
I kind of just put my phone away.
186
I was filming every day.
187
I'm filming Euphoria, so I'm working like 16 hour days and I don't really bring my phone on set.
188
So I work and then I go home and I go to sleep.
189
So I didn't really, I didn't really see a lot of it.
190
You've made a really good case for keeping your thoughts and your life separate from that work.
191
But the risk is that, you know, there's a chance that somebody will get some idea about what you think about certain issues
192
and feel like I don't wanna see Christie because of that.
193
Like, do you worry about that?
194
No. No. If somebody is closed off because of something they read online
195
to a powerful story like Christie,
196
then I hope that, I hope something else can open their eyes to being open to art and being open to
197
learning and I'm not gonna be affected by that.
198
Yeah, you've come here like really willing to talk about this whole discourse
199
that doesn't have that much to do with you and I'm grateful for that.
200
Is there something that you want to say about the ad itself?
201
The Sydney Sweeney has great genes.
202
Do you have?
203
The ad spoke for itself.
204
You think the ad spoke for itself?
205
Yeah.
206
Okay.
207
And the criticism of the content, which was basically that maybe specifically in this political climate,
208
like white people shouldn't joke about genetic superiority.
209
Like that was kind of like the criticism, broadly speaking.
210
And since you are talking about this, I just wanted to give you an opportunity to talk about that specifically.
211
I think that when I have an issue that I want to speak about, people will hear.
212
We should talk about Cassie.
213
You got back together with Cassie.
214
You spent some time in Cassieland.
215
I am.
216
I wondered if after the break and after the changes in your life, since last time you were Cassie,
217
if you came back to that role with a different perspective on her character, her arc.
218
Well, Cassie and the whole world of Euphoria is now five years ahead.
219
So all the characters are living in the real world.
220
They're dealing with very real world life problems.
221
And Cassie, Cassie's just so much fun.
222
She's so crazy.
223
And I don't know if I can implement any of my own knowledge
224
or life experiences to Cassie because she's just so on her own plane and in her own world and thinks completely differently.
225
It's such a fun rollercoaster ride because I'm getting to go to all these insane places.
226
She's crazy.
227
I thank Sam like every day for giving me a character like her in my 20s
228
because Sam put together a show of like a powerhouse lineup of really interesting storylines and characters.
229
And being able to go back to Cassie and grow with her and go even crazier is such a treat.
230
I always feel like I'm going home.
231
One thing we haven't talked about that you've talked about a lot,
232
but I wonder how it's coming up now and your work is the way women,
233
women actors and you are represented on screen.
234
The early part of your career was defined by a lot of chatter about that, right?
235
About is it an empowering or not empowering?
236
Blah, blah, blah.
237
In regards to my body?
238
Yeah.
239
And like Cassie, I think, brought that out.
240
And that doesn't really seem to be part of the story anymore.
241
And I wonder if you feel like Hollywood is changing or if it has to do with being an actor, producer roles.
242
I think that the conversation around it is changing.
243
I've always looked at a woman's body as a very beautiful, powerful tool.
244
I transform my body for Christy.
245
It's a challenge but then also really amazing at the same time
246
that we're capable of doing stuff like that and being able to tell stories through our body.
247
And I've always looked at it that way.
248
I've always looked at it as my body is another tool to tell this story.
249
How does using that tool change when you are more in the driver's seat as a producer?
250
I mean, I'm thinking about the housemaid, like, there's a scene in that where you're in this home theater and you're wearing like a push-up bra.
251
And she's like, okay, this is not a push-up bra.
252
It's just my boobs.
253
Wow.
254
Fact check me.
255
Fact check.
256
That's just like a sports bra or something.
257
Yeah.
258
Good God.
259
Okay.
260
I mean, she's wearing what she'd wear.
261
It's like, she's being comfortable.
262
It's for herself.
263
It's not for anybody else.
264
Great.
265
Yeah.
266
That, I mean, that's sort of where I was going with it, though, is that watching that scene, I had this feeling of there's a self-awareness and knowingness to this that,
267
you know, it is a casual sweatshirt, her boobs are out, and then you're like,
268
the wife comes in and like comments on it in this way that to me felt very like funny.
269
Letting Sydney use her body in this way,
270
but also commenting on it in a knowing way that lets you know that we're all in on this joke.
271
And I guess I wondered if that is a hallmark of having you having more control of the project.
272
I think so.
273
I think that as time goes on, people will see that I'm way more aware of things than people think.
274
Can you say a little bit more?
275
I mean, if I say it, then I like to let the art speak for itself.
276
I think that's where it's fun.
277
Okay.
278
But you know that you are like, you are giving us permission to keep projecting.
279
A little bit, like we're gonna keep taking what you do and like putting it up on our board.
280
I'm like, what does Sydney think?
281
I can't wait to see what the board says.
282
Okay.
283
That felt like a punctuation.
284
Wow.
285
It's a beautiful punctuation.
286
Awesome.
287
Thank you.
288
Thank you guys.
289
Yeah, thank you guys.

Per chi è questo video?
Questo video è perfetto per gli studenti di inglese a livello intermedio o avanzato che vogliono migliorare la comprensione orale e la pronuncia, soprattutto nella conversazione informale. Ideale per chi pratica lo shadowing in inglese, poiché la dialogo è vivo, con pause e intonazioni naturali, simili a quelle della vita quotidiana. Se vuoi imparare l'inglese con i video in modo divertente e utile, questo è un ottimo punto di partenza!
Parole e modi di dire da rubare
Ecco alcuni espressioni standout dal video, con una rapida spiegazione:
- "Strong shoe game": Significa avere un buon gusto nella scelta delle scarpe. "Game" qui si riferisce alla "abilità" nel vestirsi.
- "Pulled through": In questo contesto, significa "riuscito a fare bene". Es: "We pulled through the shoe game" = "Siamo riusciti bene con le scarpe".
- "Over the moon": Estremamente felice. Es: "I was over the moon" = "Ero felice come un pasquale".
- "Put it to the side": Mettere qualcosa da parte per un periodo. Es: "I put it to the side" = "L'ho messo da parte".
Come migliorare la pronuncia: focus sulla speaker
La pronuncia di Sydney Sweeney è chiara e americana, con alcune caratteristiche da notare per lo shadowing in inglese:
- Intonazione: Usa pause brevi tra le frasi, soprattutto quando racconta storie. Imita queste pause per rendere la tua conversazione più naturale.
- Dittonghi: Parole come "outfit" (pronunciata "autfit") o "about" (pronunciata "abaut") hanno un dittongo lungo. Ascolta attentamente e ripeti per non "tagliare" la parola.
- Contrazioni: Usa contrazioni come "I'm", "you're" o "it's" per semplificare la pronuncia, come fa lei. Questo rende il tuo inglese più fluido.
Per esercitarti, usa un shadowing site o semplicemente ripeti le frasi subito dopo la speaker, cercando di corrispondere al suo tono e alla sua velocità. Con la pratica, migliorerai la pronuncia inglese e la confidenza nella conversazione!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | you've done · I've always learned · have become |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | someone who keeps · someone who I · people who have |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | is closed · be affected · are represented |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
