Actress Sydney Sweeney opened up about her childhood experiences, revealing that she had an imaginary friend who ended up being a bit of a ghostly surprise for her mother.
Imaginary Friend Turns Out to Be a Ghost
In an interview with W magazine, Sweeney shared, “I think I’ve seen a ghost. When I was little, I used to have an imaginary friend. He would be on the playground at preschool. I would tell my mom about him. It turns out that he was someone who passed away before I was born! It creeped my mom out.”
Dreams and Their Control
The actress also discussed her changing relationship with dreams, stating that she used to have vivid dreams and could control them.
“Recently, no. I don’t even know if I’m dreaming anymore. I used to be a really vivid dreamer. I could lie there and orchestrate all the dreams that I wanted to have that night. In the last year or two, I haven’t really been able to dream,” she explained.
Facing Fears Head-On
Sweeney is unafraid to confront her fears. “There are a lot of things that scare me, but that doesn’t stop me. Usually, if something scares me, then I’m going to do it. I have a fear of heights, but I jumped out of a plane and went skydiving. I’ll scream the whole way, but then I’ll want to do it again.”
Adventurous Streak and Scars
Her adventurous spirit has given her some notable scars. When asked about them, she recounted, “I have a scar next to my eye. I got it when I was 10. I was wakeboarding, and I jumped the wake and I tried to do a 360, but the tip of my board came up and sliced me in the face. I had to get, like, 17 stitches.”
She also shared stories about other injuries: “I tore my MCL dirt-bike riding, and the scar just never went away. Then I have a keloid scar. I got bit in Australia when I was filming the movie Eden, and I don’t know what I got bitten by. It just turned into this crazy crater; then it scarred.”
