Musician Machine Gun Kelly rose to fame in the 2010s with hits like "Wild Boy" and "Bad Things" and ever since then, he's been known for blending contemporary and alternative hip hop with rock music. Machine Gun Kelly is engaged to actress Megan Fox whom he is currently planning a wedding with.
Actress Sydney Sweeney rose to fame as Cassie Howard on the HBO teen drama show Euphoria in 2019, and since then she starred in quite a few notable projects and has even been declared the new Dakota Johnson. So why are 31-year-old Machine Gun Kelly and 24-year-old Sydney Sweeney being linked to each other — and what is their relationship like today?
Does Sydney Sweeney Know Machine Gun Kelly?
Machine Gun Kelly and Sydney Sweeney met in 2018 on the set of the coming-of-age comedy movie Big Time Adolescence, which also stars the musician's close friend Pete Davidson. Big Time Adolescence follows a suburban teenager and his best friend, a college dropout. In the movie Davidson and Sweeney portray love interests. The movie was released by Hulu in March 2020, and it received positive reviews from critics.
In 2021, Sydney Sweeney revealed that she loved working on the project and being co-stars with Machine Gun Kelly and Pete Davidson was something she will always remember. "I walk in and you [and Pete] are literally tattooing each other," she said at the time. "I'm like, 'Ok, this is the coolest set I’ve ever been on.'"
The musician and the actress also worked together on the drama movie Downfalls High which is based on the album of the same name by Machine Gun Kelly. The movie premiered on January 15, 2021, on Facebook, and it stars TikTok influencer Chase Hudson as a quiet high schooler and Sydney Sweeney as the school's popular girl.
Downfalls High was written and directed by Machine Gun Kelly and Mod Sun, and it was filmed in four days during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's what the musician revealed about the movie:
"I love how our lead who’s whose character name is Phoenix and the, and our other lead, her whose name is Scarlet. You know, when, when he loses Scarlet, he’s faced with temptation success and, you know, he’s young, he has the opportunity to get over this person, but he never does. And in that it drives him crazy. That is, I just wanted to highlight themes that aren’t made in movies. I’m sick of seeing people like treat love like it’s trivial, right. That we can just move past it. Like, because if it’s real love, you can’t move past it and you shouldn’t move past it."
Sydney Sweeney Also Worked With Megan Fox
Apart from working with Machine Gun Kelly on two separate projects, Sydney Sweeney is also no stranger to the musician's finacé. In 2021, the actress worked together with Megan Fox on the vampire thriller Night Teeth. Apart from the two, the movie also stars Jorge Lendeborg Jr., Debby Ryan, and Lucy Fry — and it follows a freelance chauffeur driving two girls around Los Angeles without knowing that they are vampires.
While the movie received mixed reviews, Sydney Sweeney and Megan Fox's performances were praised, and fans are even hoping that the two collaborate again on a prequel to the movie. It certainly seems as if the two ladies are on friendly terms.
Machine Gun Kelly And Sydney Sweeney Are Just Friends
While some may wonder whether Machine Gun Kelly and Sydney Sweeney ever dated, the truth is that they seem to simply be just friends. As fans of the actress know, Sweeney got been engaged to her longtime boyfriend, restaurateur Jonathan Davino in February 2022 — while Machine Gun Kelly has been dating actress Megan Fox since May 2020, and in January 2022 the two got engaged as well.
In an interview with Elle magazine, Sydney Sweeney revealed that between Machine Gun Kelly and Pete Davidson, she would trust the musician more when it comes to giving her a tattoo: "I feel like I would get a funnier tattoo from Pete. But I trust Colson more with a tattoo, and I think that he would do something that I’d want, so I’d probably do [my dog] Tank’s paw print or something. I feel like I could trust him, if I couldn’t choose, that he’d choose something good for me."
Considering that the two have worked together twice — and that Sydney Sweeney also worked with Megan Fox — no one would be surprised to see them collaborate more in the future.
