In a playful interview with W Magazine, Sydney Sweeney shared stories from her early kissing days with a mix of humor and warmth. She described a forgettable first kiss at thirteen with an older boy in an apartment hallway that led nowhere, “We never talked. It was really disappointing.” Then she recalled a much sweeter memory from kindergarten with her best friend Brett, who gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek or forehead while they were hiding in the art closet—“Then we got in trouble ’cause we were in the closet,” she said, recalling how they were caught.

Sydney Sweeney dropped a playful curveball, calling it a joke that she was her best friend Brett’s first kiss, while they were hiding in a closet. She shared that they stuck with each other over the years, adding cheekily that Brett has since “left the closet,” all while remaining her closest friend to this day. While that kiss gave her a fun, sweet memory, her on-screen kiss sparked a whole different kind of buzz, setting the internet on fire.
Sydney Sweeney stole the spotlight in Netflix’s Everything Sucks, but one kissing scene with co-star Peyton Kennedy stirred up controversy—not for the reasons you would expect. Fans were not upset about the same gender kiss, but for a surprising twist that caught everyone off guard.
