Sydney Sweeney attends the Lionsgate presentation during 2025 CinemaCon at Caesars Palace on April 01, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. the “Housemaid” star recalls befriending an imaginary friend growing up – one that completely freaked out her mom. According to Sweeney, the childhood companion may have actually been the spirit of someone who died years before. “I think I’ve seen a ghost. When I was little, I used to have an imaginary friend. He would be on the playground at preschool,” she told W Magazine. “I would tell my mom about him. It turns out that he was someone who passed away before I was born! It creeped my mom out.", claims she also grew up having vivid dreams that she could control while she was asleep. “I could lie there and orchestrate all the dreams that I wanted to have that night,” she revealed. When asked if she remembers her dreams, Sweeney said, "Recently, no. I don’t even know if I’m dreaming anymore In the last year or two, I haven’t really been able to dream." Despite having plenty of fears, Sweeney says she doesn’t let them hold her back; instead, she tackles them head-on. “There are a lot of things that scare me, but that doesn’t stop me. Usually, if something scares me, then I’m going to do it,” the actress explained. Case in point: her fear of heights. “I jumped out of a plane and went skydiving,” she said. “I’ll scream the whole way, but then I’ll want to do it again.” Sydney Sweeney attends the Los Angeles Special Screening of "Americana" at Desert 5 Spot on August 03, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. That fearless attitude, however, has left the actress with more than a few battle scars over the years. “I have a scar next to my eye from when I was 10,” she shared. “I was wakeboarding and tried to do a 360, but the tip of my board came up and sliced me in the face. I had to get, like, 17 stitches.” Her adventurous streak didn’t stop there. “I tore my MCL dirt-bike riding, and the scar just never went away,” she added. “Then I have a keloid scar. I got bitten in Australia while filming Eden, and I don’t even know what bit me. It turned into this crazy crater and then scarred.”On Tuesday, three Ohio state legislators -- State Rep. Christine Cockley , State Rep. Mark Sigrist , and State Sen. Bill DeMora (D-ColFederal authorities charged a husband and wife in Logan County, accused of using the U.S. mail system for drug trafficking.ICE launched what it called the "largest DHS operation ever" in Minneapolis on Tuesday with more than 2,000 agents deployed.Investigators say the killings occurred sometime between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Dec. 30, on the second floor of the home.
