When a string of A-listers were photographed heading to Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’ $50 million wedding in Italy, celebrity watchers wondered what the connections were between some of the stars and the billionaire couple.
Take Hollywood “it girl” Sydney Sweeney — who didn’t seem to have an obvious public affiliation with the couple.
But sources tell Page Six that Sweeney went to the Venice nuptials because she’s starring in an upcoming potential blockbuster for Bezos’ Amazon MGM Studios.
Last month, it was reported by Variety that the “Anyone But You” actress will star in a movie adaptation of a hit video game, “Split Fiction,” being directed by “Wicked” whiz Jon M. Chu and written by the scribes behind “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
A source told Page Six of Sweeney’s attendance that the star “is not friends with either one of them,” but “came to pay respects to the ‘boss,’ just like in the old days of Hollywood,” since she was invited.
The cool video game released earlier this year follows two authors who become trapped in worlds they created. Sweeney is also an executive producer on the project, and the movie is currently looking to cast her co-star, reports said.
A rep for Sweeney did not immediately get back to us.
During the wedding weekend, single Sweeney — who recently broke off her own engagement — was seen with fellow Hollywood star Orlando Bloom on a walk through Venice together, and was also allegedly dancing with Tom Brady at the wedding party, sources told us.
Guests at the wedding also included Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Barry Diller, Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld and Huma Abedin, among other VIPs.
Sweeney also starred in the 2021 Amazon Prime Video project, “The Voyeurs,” as well as HBO’s “The White Lotus” and “Eurphoria.” Her upcoming movies also include a buzzy biopic about boxer Christy Martin.
