Sydney Sweeney really is the modern-day version of Marilyn Monroe … because, as it turns out, the two blonde bombshells are related!!!
Lots of folks have been saying Sydney is the second coming of Marilyn … from her bombshell looks to her old Hollywood styling and her famous boyfriends … and the comparisons are getting backed up by blood.
Sydney and Marilyn are ninth cousins, once removed … according to a new study conducted by MyHeritage.
It’s fascinating … Sydney and Marilyn’s family trees actually connect through a shared ancestor from the 1600s.
Sydney’s father, Steven Sweeney, and Marilyn’s father, Charles Stanley Gifford, are both descendants of Ezra Perry … an early settler in Sandwich, Massachusetts who died in 1689.
Sydney and Marilyn aren’t the only famous relatives discovered by MyHeritage … they previously determined that “Friends” co-stars Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox were distant cousins too.
Yeah, Hollywood is a small town.
