Sydney Sweeney is finally ready to talk about it.
The "Euphoria" star, 28, spoke with GQ about the elephant in the room during her "Christy" press tour: the chatter surrounding her controversial American Eagle jeans ad, which sparked backlash over the summer as critics accused it of being tone deaf and offensive. There was so much discussion about the ad that even President Donald Trump weighed in.
"I did a jean ad," Sweeney told GQ. "I mean, the reaction definitely was a surprise, but I love jeans. All I wear are jeans. I'm literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life."
The "Christy" actress went on to say it was "surreal" to see the president and vice president of the United States commenting on her ad, while noting that much of the chatter didn't make its way to her.
"I kind of just put my phone away," she said. "I was filming every day. I'm filming 'Euphoria,' so I'm working 16-hour days and I don't really bring my phone on set, so I work and then I go home and I go to sleep. So I didn't really see a lot of it."
