Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney is reportedly considering a move to the English countryside after viewing a property in the picturesque Cotswolds village of Little Tew. The move could put the Euphoria and The White Lotus star among several high-profile neighbors, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, David and Victoria Beckham, and Ellen DeGeneres.The 29-year-old actress is reportedly planning to split her time equally between the UK and the US. She is understood to be considering the move with her boyfriend, businessman Scooter Braun, 45.According to a report by The Sun, Sweeney has visited the Cotswolds twice in the past 10 months and viewed a property in the area within the last three months. A source told the publication that the actress loves the region and finds its village lifestyle appealing.“She doesn’t get bothered by locals, who are all well-used to seeing A-listers, and finds village life incredibly cute and quaint,” the source said.The insider added that the English countryside would offer her a more peaceful lifestyle compared with Los Angeles.“It’s also a huge change of pace from LA and all the vultures circling. And she can lead a more peaceful life in the countryside,” the source said.

Pinewood Studios, where major film productions are based, is about an hour away from the area.
