How Sydney Sweeney Got Her Grandmas to Appear as Extras in Her Upcoming Horror Film

Sydney Sweeney with grandmothers attend the premiere of Neon's "Immaculate" during Beyond Fest at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood on March 15, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. .

One of the most popular actresses on the planet is sharing the wealth of her Hollywood success with a few of her nearest and dearest family members.

While stopping by Studio 1A to chat with the TODAY co-hosts, the Euphoria star said she managed to find a way for her grandmothers to be part of her new horror movie, Immaculate.

"I flew them to Italy, and they got to come visit me on set," Sweeney said. "I made them extras as nuns, and then I brought them to the premiere in L.A. They were just so excited."

In the film, Sweeney plays a nun who witnesses an ominous "miracle" of sorts—a far departure from her most recent work, which Sweeney said is one of the many reasons why she was excited about the role.

"It's a challenging character," she continued. "I's an interesting story. I loved the horror genre. It's exciting."
