Sydney Sweeney went to great lengths to convince her parents to let her pursue acting.
During her performance at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday, Nov. 6 Sweeney said, “They thought it was like being a princess, they didn’t think it was real.”
Saw it Euphoria star made a PowerPoint presentation explaining “Why they should let me audition and the steps we would take to become an actor.”
“I did a five-year business plan presentation when I was 10 years old,” she told Stephen.
Unfortunately, the presentation didn’t change their minds overnight.
“It was a tough sell and took a few years,” she admitted.
Elsewhere, The Voyeurs star told the host about his close family’s housing options.
“So my family has lived on this lake for five generations. So my grandmother was born and raised in this house. And then she had my mother in the house and I grew up in the house,” the actress said.
“The properties have all been next to each other, with all siblings. Her parents (my great-grandparents) were her neighbors. And when I was born, they passed away and they sold the property to another couple,” she continued.
“So growing up, we’d run across my other cousins’ backyard, and three years ago I went and knocked on the door and said, ‘I want to buy my great-grandmother’s house back,'” she added.
Sydney Sweeney is currently promoting her film Christy, which is in theaters now.
