Sydney Sweeney is finally talking about the backlash to her American Eagle jeans ad.
The “Euphoria” actress, 28, spoke about the controversy that erupted in July for the first time in an interview with GQ magazine published Tuesday.
“I know who I am. I know what I value. I know that I’m a kind person,” Sweeney told the publication. “I know that I love a lot, and I know that I’m just excited to see what happens next. And so I don’t really let other people define who I am.”
Sweeney also called it “surreal” that President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance both reacted to the controversy.
Trump, 79, praised Sweeney and her ad in August n.
“I love her ad,” Trump told reporters. He added, “I think her ad is fantastic.”
Vance, meanwhile, ripped Democrats for becoming unhinged over a pretty girl selling jeans to kids in America.
