The Euphoria actress joked about the situation while she was presenting on Saturday Night Live, but the joke was not well received on social media.
Actress Sydney Sweeney generated controversy on social networks by joking about rumors of her romance with Glen Powell, with whom she starred in the romantic comedy Anyone But You.
Sweeney made fun of the situation while she hosted "SNL." Meanwhile, Powell was a guest and followed the game, which caused discomfort to many users on social networks.
Sweeney hosted Saturday Night Live this week and during her opening monologue she addressed all the rumors about her alleged affair with Powell in Australia during the filming of Anyone But You.
The actress told the SNL audience that the "craziest rumor" about her was that she was having an affair with Powell and finished, "That's obviously not true," clarifying that her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, produced the film, and was with her during filming. She then made a joke that Jonathan was there in the "SNL" studio to support her, but the camera focused on Powell.
The monologue was the first instance in which Glen appeared on camera and he also made a cameo later in the show, as Sydney's boss and with whom she supposedly had an affair. It's clear that the "SNL" writers found Sydney and Glen's rumors interesting enough to lean on them throughout the show.
Jonathan was by Sydney's side as they walked around the after-show party. The couple held hands as they entered. The Euphoria actress got engaged in 2022 to Davino, a restaurateur, after the couple dated for about 4 years.
