“I was freaking out because I felt so stupid. Because in so many interviews, I was like, ‘I love Leonardo DiCaprio.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, I hope he’s never seen anything that I’ve said.’ I was like, ‘Oh my god, I feel so embarrassed right now, but I doubt he even knows who I am,’”

As her career flourished, the actress recently starred in the film Immaculate. Being a horror film, Sweeney has quite a vivid experience to tell as the actress talked about how the film came to be and a famous scene that she wanted to have in the film.
