This week, actress and producer Sydney Sweeney talks to\u00a0WSJ.\u2019<\/i>s Lane Florsheim about her daily routine, her favorite high intensity workout, and only needing two hours of sleep, though she\u2019s never even tried coffee. Check out excerpt below:

 <\/p>\n

The actress and producer talks about watching nun videos on TikTok to prepare for \u2018Immaculate,\u2019 the high-intensity workout she favors and her reading goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sydney Sweeney had her breakout on HBO\u2019s teen drama \u201cEuphoria\u201d playing Cassie Howard, a lovesick high schooler on the constant verge of a breakdown. In the years since, the 26-year-old actress and producer has explored other genres, starring in the political thriller \u201cReality,\u201d Marvel\u2019s \u201cMadame Web\u201d and \u201cAnyone but You,\u201d the highest-grossing rom-com since \u201cCrazy Rich Asians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Sweeney is delving into horror as Cecilia, an American nun who joins a secretly sinister Italian convent in the new film \u201cImmaculate.\u201d The movie, a bonkers body-horror film, is a Sweeney passion project a decade in the making. After she auditioned for it at age 16, the production got shelved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many projects that are absolutely incredible that never end up getting made,\u201d Sweeney said. She decided to take \u201cImmaculate\u201d into her own hands: She asked her agents to track down its writer, Andrew Lobel, and worked with him to revise the script. She brought on \u201cWhite Lotus\u201d producer David Bernad; they got financing for the film and hired director Michael Mohan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI put the whole project together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Sweeney, who was born in Spokane, Wash., lives in Los Angeles with her dog, Tank, and her fianc\u00e9, Jonathan Davino. She has a production company, Fifty-Fifty Films, and restores vintage cars for fun. Here, she discusses her minimal beauty routine, how she unwinds and the only thing she splurges on.<\/p>\n

On what time she wakes up on Mondays, and the first thing she does after waking up:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I usually wake up around 7:30. First I hug my dog, Tank, and we cuddle. Then I\u2019ll go and wash my face, brush my teeth and get ready to jump start the day.”<\/p>\n

On her admission that she only needs two hours sleep a night:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I sleep however many hours I get in a night, but I\u2019m known for being able to function off of very, very little for a very long amount of time.”<\/p>\n

On her coffee and breakfast:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve never tried coffee before. I just drink water. For breakfast, I like a berry bowl. Maybe some granola, bacon, a croissant, but I always go to berries.”<\/p>\n

On her exercise routine:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I like this place called SolidCore. It\u2019s a full-body high-intensity workout but on a reformer, and it\u2019s been killing my ass. I love it.”<\/p>\n

On her beauty routine:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m pretty simple if I\u2019m not working. I\u2019m either a blush-and-mascara kind of girl or nothing at all.”<\/p>\n

On the research she did for \u201cImmaculate\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I definitely found myself on nun TikTok, which is a vast, vast place to be.”<\/p>\n

On the hardest or riskiest thing she had to do physically for the role:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“When I\u2019m running through the field trying to escape and it was freezing cold and I was covered in blood, it had been raining prior and the fields were sopping wet. There was ice on the ground. I was just running through anything and everything, the field was not cleared for the safety of my feet, which I enjoy because then it just feels more real for me. My feet were so frozen that I couldn\u2019t feel rocks or sticks or anything slicing my feet open. It was crazy.”<\/p>\n

On what else is in the pipeline for her Fifty-Fifty Films:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I have a movie in development with Universal that I\u2019m really excited for. Then \u201cBarbarella\u201d and a few other projects. I like to read books and get the rights, then package and develop and put it all together.”<\/p>\n

On what she\u2019s reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I haven\u2019t started a new book since I got back from Australia the second time [to promote \u201cAnyone but You\u201d]. Once I\u2019m done with the press tour for \u201cImmaculate,\u201d I\u2019m going to try to read a book a week.”<\/p>\n

On what she does to relax and unwind:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I love to do a face mask. I like these 111Skin face masks. And chill on the couch with Tank and read a book.”<\/p>\n

On her hobby of restoring vintage cars, and whether she\u2019s currently working on one:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I have a car I\u2019m about to start. I don\u2019t want to spoil what it is yet because I\u2019m going to post it on my TikTok, but I\u2019ve had it for a while. I\u2019ve been saving it, and it\u2019s going to be my project this year while I film \u201cEuphoria.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a genre or type of project she hasn’t gotten to work on yet that she’d like to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFantasy.”<\/p>\n

On her favorite splurge:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I like to splurge on parties. I like to host parties for my friends and family.”<\/p>\n

On anywhere she likes to pinch pennies:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I love a good deal. Anything in life other than parties, I will be penny pinching.”<\/p>\n

On the one piece of advice that\u2019s guided her:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Don\u2019t take no for an answer.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
