Sydney Sweeney is eagerly awaiting to meet Kim Novak before playing her in a biopic Scandalous!
In the days leading up to her new acting gig to portray the Vertigo star, the Euphoria actress revealed she hasn’t met the Hollywood legend just. However, she will soon have the opportunity to pick her brain.
"I'm incredibly honoured to be bringing Kim to life. I mean, she is such an amazing actress," the Anyone But You lead told People during the October 25 premiere of her latest film, Christy, at AFI Fest 2025.
"I think her story is still very relevant today in that she dealt with Hollywood and scrutiny with her relationships and her own private life and the control of her image. And I think that for me, I relate to it in a lot of different ways," The White Lotus alum added.
For the unversed, the upcoming biopic follows Novak’s real-life romance with late legendary musician Sammy Davis Jr. in the 1950s.
While Colman Domingo, who is making his directorial debut with the biopic, has already met Novak, 92, the Immaculate actress has been prioritising finishing the third season of Euphoria to shift her focus and be committed to Scandalous! later.
"Once I finish Euphoria, I switch into Scandalous! gear and I'm going to turn my brain into Kim," Sweeney spilled. "I'm so excited. I'm like, 'Oh my God. I'm going to meet Kim Novak.'"
