With a net worth of $2 million and roles in The White Lotus and Euphoria, Sydney Sweeney has been a star to watch for a while now. Fans love seeing Sydney's Instagram outfits and they can't wait to see what she does next. After all, the Voyeurs' hottie just can't seem to stop getting cast in high-profile projects.
With an upcoming project that sounds fascinating and mysterious, Sydney Sweeney is helping her mysterious boyfriend, Jonathan Davino, launch his own Hollywood career despite him having zero experience in the business. Let's take a look at how.
'The Player's Table'
Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino's private relationship has interested fans for a while now, and while Jonathan Davino doesn't have any prior TV or film credits, he's working with his girlfriend on their upcoming project The Player's Table.
Sydney and Halsey will co-star in the TV miniseries adaptation of the YA novel They Wish They Were Us by Jessica Goodman. According to Deadline.com, Sydney has just started her own production company called Fifty-Fifty Films. The show will be on HBO Max.
The publication credits Meghan Oliver and Jonathan Davino, who is Sydney's boyfriend, as producers on the miniseries as well.
The story follows Jill, a senior in high school who starts looking into the mysterious way that her BFF died three years prior. Since she's part of a secret society at her school, she thinks that they could be responsible.
Sydney Sweeney shared the news on her Instagram account and wrote, "the biggest secret ive ever kept" and called Halsey "a talented creative genius."
Jonathan Davino
It's interesting to see Jonathan Davino's name attached to this project, as he hasn't worked in the film industry before.
According to Meaww.com, Jonathan is an heir to Pompei, a pizza company, and he works in the restaurant industry.
Chicago Business reported that Jonathan has a restaurant called Pompeii Xpress and another one called Mista Pizza. When Jonathan and Sydney were seen kissing in November 2020, fans realized that they were dating, according to Just Jared. There isn't a ton of information out there about Sydney's boyfriend, but they do look happy together in photos.
In an interview with Vogue, Sydney Sweeney shared that she is drawn to the characters that she plays because she wants them to have some sort of journey. The actress explained, "I think it’s in part because of the incredible writers that we have nowadays who are creating more diverse, strong female characters that we didn’t use to have in Hollywood. I also love trying to find characters that are completely different but are still going through a learning and growing experience. I like characters that are struggling with something that is in their own world but is also relatable to an audience."
It seems like fans can expect more interesting characters in The Player's Table. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, author Jessica Goodman shared that since she's from Long Island, she wanted to set the novel there. She shared that female friendships can be so compelling because they are so deep and intense, so that seemed like a great thing to explore in the book. The author explained, "Like, ‘Do I want to be your best friend and like, hang out with you 24/7, or do I want to, like, have your life?’ It’s kind of this strange push-and-pull."
It looks like this is just the beginning of Sydney Sweeney's production company. The actress shared with Deadline.com that she is definitely following her dreams as she has been interested in producing for a while.
Sydney said how she has not only wanted to have her own production company but she connected with the characters in They Wish They Were Us, so this sounds like a totally perfect fit. This has become a really popular book and Jessica Goodman's second novel, They'll Never Catch Us, was published recently.
Sydney said, “Starting Fifty-Fifty Films has been a goal of mine for a long time. When I read They Wish They Were Us I was instantly drawn to the specificity of the world and the struggles of the characters — and I knew it was the first project I wanted to produce. I’m really honored that Jean-Marc Vallée and Nathan Ross wanted to partner on this series. I’m getting to learn from the best. We are really thrilled to be working alongside an empowering filmmaker like Annabelle.”
Fans will have to wait and see if Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino team up for any more movies or TV shows through her Fifty-Fifty Films company. The Player's Table seems like it will be a fun ride.
