Popular American actress Sydney Sweeney recently shared her views on politics in an exclusive interview with Cosmopolitan. The Euphoria actress was featured on the magazine’s cover and promoted her recently launched lingerie brand SYRN. During the interview, the Housemaid actress spoke about political affiliation and the nickname ‘MAGA Barbie.’

She said:

“I’ve never been here to talk about politics. I’ve always been here to make art, so this is just not a conversation I want to be at the forefront of. And I think because of that, people want to take it even further and use me as their own pawn. But it’s somebody else assigning something to me, and I can’t control that.”

When asked if there was a future where people would get to hear her political views, Sydney Sweeney responded:

“No. I’m not a political person. I’m in the arts. I’m not here to speak on politics. That’s not an area I’ve ever even imagined getting into. It’s not why I became who I am. I became an actor because I like to tell stories, but I don’t believe in hate in any form. I believe we should all love each other and have respect and understanding for one another.”

Sydney Sweeney launched her CEO era with her lingerie line, SYRN. The Christy actress shared the brand's purpose and how she envisions it as a way for wearers to express themselves.

“People will say, 'Oh, she’s doing this for guys' or 'Oh, she’s a guy’s girl.’ But I’m like, ‘What is more girl’s girl than owning your body and doing it for yourself?’ I want it to be their choice—the choice of the wearer—whether this is for them, for somebody else, or for a camera lens.”

Sydney Sweeney revealed that all the designers of SYRN are women and that her brand caters to a wide range of body types.

“My designers are all women, and I have an amazing, diverse team. My models are a beautiful range of body types. I’m always like, ‘I want to see it on every body.’ I can’t be the only model. I need to make sure everyone feels really good in it.”

According to the actress, one of her goals is to “make bras that stay with women.”
