Sydney Sweeney has opened up about feeling "beat up" after rumours started circulating that she was dating Top Gun star Glen Powell.
The actress, who starred as Cassie Howard in Euphoria, was the subject of intense gossip earlier this year after she was spotted cosying up to her co-star during a joint appearance at CinemaCon. Sydney and Glen star alongside each other in the upcoming romcom Anyone But You.
There had been rumours of on set chemistry between the actors and they had to film passionate kiss scenes for the movie. Fans became convinced the pair were then dating, despite Sydney being engaged to her long-term partner Jonathan Davino.
The 25-year-old has now said it was tough to listen to all of the rumours. She admitted she wished she had been able to defend herself.

In an interview with Variety, she explained: "I'll see my uncle comment on things and I'm like, 'You gotta stop'. But it's so hard, because I grew up in a small town, and they don't get the business of it all." She added: "It was all these tabloids and headlines, but no one knew the actual story."
Following the rumours that Sydney and Glen were dating, the 34-year-old actor reportedly split from his model girlfriend Gigi Paris. She hinted at the breakup on Instagram as she posted a video of herself with the caption: "Know your worth & onto the next."

The actress is most famous for her roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, for which she received nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards. Speaking to the publication, she opened up on reports that her parents support contributed to their bankruptcy filing.
