The HOUSEMAID star is getting the last laugh as her film continues strong at the box office, but the mocked Sweeney was slammed for her good jeans in ’25.. and now being laughed at about sharing a ghost story in ’26..
She was interviewed in W Magazine about her career journey and upcoming projects.
Sweeney was asked a light personal question. She was asked whether she believes in ghosts. In response, she shared a memory from her early childhood.
She explained that when she was in preschool, she had an imaginary friend. The childlike figure would appear on the playground. She often talked about him with her mother. Later, her mother learned that the person matched someone who had died before Sweeney was born. The story, she said, unsettled her family at the time.
The anecdote was shared casually and without drama. However, sources told Spanish outlet Marca that some studio executives reacted poorly. According to an anonymous insider, the story was mocked in private conversations.

“I think I’ve seen a ghost,” Sweeney said. “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.”..
The result has been headlines such as “SYDNEY SWEENEY befriended a ghost”..
I think we agree… she probably doesn’t care much about any mockery she is getting … 🙂
