Also, when I talk to my dad it’s usually not about work…we talk father-daughter conversations.”
The actress of 25 said that her dad decided to see “Euphoria” without telling her and then her grandparents joined in a shocking way.
“My dad and my grandpa turned it off and walked out,” Sweeney described.
