Sydney Sweeney didn't bring any of her personal issues to work as her engagement crumbled

Sydney Sweeney didn't bring any of her personal "issues" to work as her engagement crumbled, according to director Paul Feig.

The 28-year-old actress split from her fiance Jonathan Davino earlier this year while she was making The Housemaid with Feig and the moviemaker admits Sydney remained upbeat despite the turmoil in her personal life.

He told the Wall Street Journal: "She loves to work. She was completely present emotionally, just up for anything, and really didn’t bring any issues to set.

"And I know she was going through some things when this was going on - I mean, now everybody knows about her engagement falling apart and breaking off and all that.

"But she would never bring it to the set. I’d say: 'Hey, are you OK?' and she’d go: 'I’m fine, I’m great!' but not defensively."

Sydney has barely spoken about the break-up, but confirmed her single status to The Times newspaper in an interview published in May, saying: "No [I'm not planning a wedding] ... Yes [I'm single] ...

"I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it."
