Sydney Sweeney has a new 'bestie'
Sydney Sweeney's new "bestie" is a horse named Moose.
The 27-year-old actress has been filming Echo Valley and during her breaks from shooting her scenes in the thriller, she enjoyed hanging out with the animals on set, and took a particular shine to one of them.
She told Extra: 'Every time between scenes, because I had more downtime, of course, they had all the horses in the stalls, and I'd go over and there was this one horse in particular named Moose that I just hung out with and we became besties. I wanted to take Moose home."
In Echo Valley, Julianne Moore plays Sudney's mother and they found it "so easy" to work together.
Julianne said: "Sydney's so terrific, she's so available, she's so professional, she's so talented, and we just had a really good time, you know, building the relationship and being with each other, and I think we're aware of how important this relationship is, the mother-daughter bond, and how much it can hold, how elastic it is, and how far you can push it with each other.
"It can be volatile, especially when kids are younger, when girls are teenagers and you realise they've had this tremendous history.
"But it was fun. I think we were able to match each other's energy, and we really enjoyed each other's company, and it worked."
Sydney added: "Everyone had always told me you are the kindest person they've ever met, and it's true, like, absolutely beyond kind and generous and thoughtful and just present for everyone on set."
Julianne, 64, was gripped by the script from the minute she read it.
She said: "I remember when I read it, because I was sick in bed with COVID and I was kind of going through scripts, and I was like, 'This is extraordinary!'... All the human drama was there, but then there's this incredible twist. It satisfies my need for, like, domestic, dramatic situations and the scary thriller part. I was really surprised by it, just blown away."
Meanwhile, Sydney teased the long-awaited upcoming third season of Euphoria and promised fans won't be disappointed.
She said: "I can't get too into detail about it, but I think people are gonna be really, really happy.
"I mean, it's crazy. It's like, you're happy 'cause it's crazy."

‘We have no choice': Bar owners drive a levy to make sure the music won't die
In a move that its owners claim is an Australian first, Sooki Lounge in Belgrave will begin charging customers a $1 levy to help cover the costs of public liability insurance the bar has identified as a threat to its ongoing operation as a live music venue. 'We have no choice,' says Stephen Crombie, who runs the venue in the foothills of Melbourne's Dandenong Ranges with his partner, Suzana Pozvek. 'But I don't want to just whack up the booking fee because it needs to be educational. 'I need the customer to understand that's where it's going, and that Oztix [the venue's online ticketing partner] is not gouging and Sooki Lounge is not gouging here.' To that end, he plans to share a video explaining the move on social media in the next two weeks, including his latest premium, a copy of which is already on public display at the bar. 'Insurance' is probably not the first word that springs to mind when you think live music (the words 'sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll', on the other hand …) But for many venue operators who have been struggling to stay afloat since the disruptions wrought by COVID and ongoing cost-of-living pressures, the issue is an absolute chart topper. Loading Multiple inquiries into the state of live music and the festival scene have heard that the soaring cost of public liability insurance is a key factor in a crisis that has plagued the sector for more than four years. The increase for cover on Sooki's 330-capacity venue – which is open four nights a week and is only occasionally sold out – has been massive. Pre-COVID, it cost about $15,000 annually. The latest bill, issued less than a fortnight ago, came in at $61,035. To pay it, Crombie and Pozvek need finance, and that increases the total to about $65,000. It's little wonder then that so many venues have simply given up. According to an industry survey released in late 2023, more than 1300 had closed doors or stopped hosting live music since the pandemic, which is about one-quarter of all the sector's venues in Australia. More recent figures are not available, but anecdotal evidence suggests the situation has not improved, as higher living costs and the trend to lower alcohol consumption on premises continue to blow holes in the business model.
