UK newspaper The Times has taken aim at Sydney Sweeney in a new profile covering its interview with the actress weeks before she was swept up in all *that* American Eagle drama. “[She] put words so carefully one in front of the other that it sometimes felt she was doing everything she could to sound boring,” Agnew wrote. Apparently, it got to the point where Sweeney “exhibited such discomfort about being there for the 50 minutes … that it verged on annoyance”, per Agnew’s account. “I was thrilled — until I realised it was a reflection of her keenness to leave rather than her enthusiasm to arrive,” Agnew wrote. “None of it’s real,” Sweeney told Agnew of the scores of headlines she’s made in recent times.
