Scooter Braun calls Sydney Sweeney’s acting ‘incredible’ in rare public comment

Scooter Braun has addressed Sydney Sweeney’s performance in Euphoria, offering rare public comments about the actress and the hit HBO series as speculation around their personal connection continues to circulate.

Speaking on the podcast Second Thought with Suzy Weiss and The Free Press, the American music executive praised Sweeney’s acting without directly naming her, referring to her work as “an incredible” performance while acknowledging a personal bias.

“I’m biased,” Braun said during the conversation, as he briefly discussed the show and its cultural impact.

His comments come amid ongoing online debate surrounding Euphoria, which has drawn both critical acclaim and controversy for its portrayal of teenage life and mature themes since its debut on HBO.

Sweeney plays Cassie Howard in the series, a character whose storylines have frequently generated viral attention, including emotionally charged and provocative scenes that have fueled widespread discussion across social media platforms.

The show’s creator, Sam Levinson, has also faced repeated scrutiny over the series’ narrative direction and its handling of sensitive subject matter, with critics and viewers often divided over its artistic choices.

Braun’s remarks arrive as speculation continues about his relationship with Sweeney, with reports suggesting the pair began seeing each other following a meeting at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding ceremony earlier this year.

Sweeney, who recently ended her engagement to Jonathan Davino, has remained a frequent topic in entertainment headlines amid both her professional success and personal life changes.

Neither Braun nor Sweeney has publicly confirmed the nature of their relationship.

Despite the speculation, Braun’s comments focused primarily on his appreciation of Sweeney’s work and the show’s popularity, with Euphoria continuing to attract significant attention as audiences await updates on future seasons.
