Rumors of a real-life romance between Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, the stars of the romantic comedy ‘Uptight,’ boosted the film’s box office and streaming success. However, new reports reveal that the rumors were fabricated to promote the movie. Despite mixed critical reviews, audiences embraced ‘Uptight,’ which became the most-watched movie on Netflix in the US on its release day. The film features an ensemble cast including Alexandra Shipp, GaTa, and Dermot Mulroney. Powell confirmed that he and Sweeney played up the romance rumors because people often conflate on-screen chemistry with off-screen relationships.
