10 Actors Who Just Played Against Type (And KILLED It)

Sydney Sweeney is of course best known for her performances in Euphoria and more recently Anyone But You, and evidently gravitates towards playing more outgoing characters in relatively frothy projects.

So to see her portraying a comparatively shy and retiring character in new horror film Immaculate - Sister Cecilia, a timid young novice training to be a nun - came as quite the surprise.

Seeing Sweeney, a categorical "It girl" of the modern era, dressed up in nun garb might give audiences a moment or two for pause, but to her absolute credit, she commits wholeheartedly to the role and basically knocks it out of the park.

Sweeney's flattened style of acting is actually quite perfect for a character like Cecilia, cementing her discomfort at being totally out of her comfort zone, all while increasingly unnerving things are happening around her.

If you're not on board with Sweeney's work by Immaculate's ending, her brilliant final scene - a brutally demanding long take that isn't easily forgotten - should clinch it.
