Sydney Sweeney is reportedly considering a move to the Cotswolds, a region in England that has become a popular destination for celebrities. The actress, 29, has been viewing properties in a village that would place her near neighbors such as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the Beckhams, and Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.
Sweeney, known for her roles in 'Euphoria' and 'The White Lotus,' is said to be looking to divide her time between the English countryside and her homes in Los Angeles and the Florida Keys. She is reportedly considering the village of Little Tew, which is close to where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reside.
This potential move follows other celebrities like Jeremy Clarkson, Claudia Winkleman, and James Blunt who have also chosen to live in the Cotswolds for a quieter lifestyle. A source told The Sun that Sweeney has visited the Cotswolds twice in the last ten months and has viewed property within the past three months. The source added that she enjoys the area because locals are accustomed to celebrities and she finds village life appealing, offering a significant change of pace from Los Angeles.
Little Tew's proximity to Pinewood Studios, where James Bond films are produced, has fueled speculation about Sweeney's potential involvement in the franchise. She has been mentioned in media and fan discussions regarding the next Bond film.
Sweeney has reportedly been spending time in the UK for work, including filming the movie adaptation of Edith Wharton's 1913 novel 'The Custom of the Country.' She was also seen wing-walking on a biplane near Ashford, Kent, during a visit.
Actress Trina Parks, who played the Bond girl Thumper in 'Diamonds Are Forever' (1971), has expressed support for Sweeney potentially becoming a Bond girl. Parks told The Telegraph that Sweeney possesses the necessary qualities, including ownership of her sexuality and a classic Hollywood style, to be a strong modern counterpart to Bond. Screen tests for the role are rumored to have recently taken place.
