Sydney Sweeney on the Jeans Ad Controversy and Trump’s Response

I'm literally in jeans and a t-shirt like every day of my life.

Jeans are uncontroversial.

Jeans are awesome.

Yeah.

I like your jeans.

You look great in your jeans.

I think I know how you're going to answer this, but I'm going to ask anyway.

I mean, the president tweeted about the jeans ad, or Truth Socialed about the jeans ad,

and that just seems to me like a very crazy moment for anyone, and I wondered what that

was like.

It was surreal.

It was surreal, and it would be totally human.

I would probably feel like thankful that somebody had my back in public, you know, and conveniently

some very powerful people had my back in public, and I wondered if you felt that way.

I don't think that ... It's not that that feeling didn't ... I didn't have that feeling,

but I wasn't thinking of it like that, of any of it.

I kind of just put my phone away.

I was filming every day.

I'm filming Euphoria, so I'm working like 16-hour days, and I don't really bring my

phone on set, so I work, and then I go home, and I go to sleep, so I didn't really see

a lot of it.

You've made a really good case for keeping your thoughts and your life separate from

that work, but the risk is that, you know, there's a chance that somebody will get some

idea about what you think about certain issues and feel like, I don't want to see Christy

because of that.

Do you worry about that?

No.

No.

The criticism of the content, which was basically that, maybe specifically in this political

climate, white people shouldn't joke about genetic superiority, that was kind of the

criticism, broadly speaking, and since you are talking about this, I just wanted to give

you an opportunity to talk about that specifically.

I think that when I have an issue that I want to speak about, people will hear.
