Sydney Sweeney said she really enjoys films that completely lean into female anger. The actress, who stars with Amanda Seyfried in a new psychological thriller called The Housemaid, mentioned liking the chance to break things and lose control for her role. Seyfried agreed, noting how rare it is for actors to get scenes where they can destroy property without real-world consequences, calling the experience a dream for expressing rage and revenge.
The movie's director, Paul Feig, said he was a big fan of both actresses beforehand. He was impressed by their on-screen chemistry and the surprising depth they brought to their characters, adding that he noticed extra layers in their performances during editing. Seyfriend also spoke about her co-star, calling Sweeney a kind and generous person. She reflected on the difficult spotlight of sudden fame, referencing her Mean Girls co-star Lindsay Lohan's experience, and said that kind of intense attention can be dangerous for young actors. Seyfried praised Sweeney for navigating that pressure skillfully.
