Sydney Sweeney proved she can handle a joke, even when it’s about her. The “Euphoria” star attended comedian Matt Rife’s sold-out show at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles on Tuesday night with talent manager Scooter Braun and a few friends. The evening reportedly turned lively when one of Rife’s opening acts made jokes about Sweeney’s nudity on “Euphoria” — while she was right there in the audience. And she handled it like a class act.
Sydney Sweeney reportedly handled jokes on breasts well
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Comedian Erik Griffin, who performed early in the night, mentioned Sydney Sweeney by name as he joked about her topless scenes from the HBO series. During the set, Griffin joked, “She’s at the pharmacy and her titties are out — it’s wild.” He said it was “For no reason.”
Rather than hiding or acting uncomfortable, Sweeney laughed so hard she doubled over, showing everyone that she took the joke in stride. Braun and the rest of her group joined in, too. Meanwhile, other audience members turned to catch her reaction.
From all accounts, the jokes were of a good nature, and Sweeney’s reaction helped set the tone for the rest of the night. The actor has been open about her comfort with on-screen nudity before, saying in interviews that “the female body is a very powerful thing” and that she never feels ashamed about playing parts that require it. She has previously said, “I’m telling my character’s story, so I owe it to them to tell it well and to do what needs to be done.”
Less than a day after the show, Sweeney appeared at Variety’s “Power of Women” event in a sheer Christian Cowan gown, continuing to show confidence in her style. She told the magazine that she hopes to “inspire other women to be confident and flaunt what they’ve got.”
It seems the evening at The Laugh Factory only reaffirmed what fans already know about her — nothing can easily rattle Sydney Sweeney. Even when the joke’s about her, she knows how to laugh, move on, and own her moment.
