Sydney Sweeney used her earnings to pay off her mum's mortgage

She told WhoWhatWear magazine: "I recently paid off my mom's mortgage. As a kid, I always dreamt of being able to take care of my parents, so that was a really big thing for me to be able to do ...

"I try to incorporate them [my family] into my life as much as possible, whether it's talking with my cousins every other day or going home."

She added: "My quote, unquote success didn't come until I was in my 20s. So my parents didn't really get to [experience it with me]."

Sydney went on to insist she didn't get into showbusiness to become famous - she just wanted to be a working actor.

She explained: "The aspiration that I had was to be a working actor on a set. That's kind of all I knew ... I just knew that I could be in a movie and play different characters ... I'm learning every single day and figuring it out. It's crazy - it's really, really crazy."

Sydney previously admitted she's enjoying sharing her new world with her parents - who split just as she was starting to make waves in Hollywood.

She told Variety: "My parents sacrificed so much to support my dream, and they lost so much during. I just felt a responsibility to show them that it was worth it ...

"My mom grew up with barely anything. She got her GED when she was 16; she worked five jobs to put herself through school; she took care of her brothers. She takes care of everyone."
