The Bear is a cool comedy-drama series you can watch on Hulu, and Sydney Adamu is one of the most beloved characters. But how old is Sydney?
What Is The Bear All About?
The Bear follows Carmy Berzatto, an award-winning chef.
When his brother dies of suicide, Carmy leaves behind a more glamorous future in order to take over the Original Beef of Chicagoland, his family's Italian beef sandwich shop.
However, things aren't going to be easy.
Carmy will have to grapple with an uncomfortable family situation, a small business ridden with debt and unruly staff, and more.
Who Is Sydney Adamu?
Sydney Adamu is one of the main characters in The Bear apart from Carmy.
In Episode 1 of the show, Carmy hires her as the sous-chef of the Original Beef of Chicagoland.
The two have a good rapport and develop a heartwarming friendship throughout the series.
Sydney doesn't have much experience when she joins Carmy's restaurant but she more than makes up for it with her talent and passion, making her a great addition to the team.
How Old Is Sydney in The Bear?
So far, the tv series hasn't mentioned Sydney Adamu's age so we have no specific confirmation. However, based on the information we have so far, we would think she's in her early or mid-twenties.
Ayo Edebiri, the actress who portrays Sydney (who also voiced Gloria Grant in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) was born in 1995, which makes her 27 years old (and around 25 when Season 1 was filmed).
Even when nothing as outrageous as a Dawson Casting is at hand, it's typical for actors to portray characters who are a little younger than themselves.
With that in mind, we would think Sydney is between 22 and 24 years old.
Since she's a talented but rather inexperienced chef when she starts helping Carmy fix the restaurant, she's probably not much older than that.
Moreover, the show tells us that Sydney graduated from the Culinary Institute of America.
This school exists in real life, and, according to recent facts and figures, the student body's average age is 22 years old. Moreover, its undergraduate programs take 38 months or around three years to complete.
This doesn't mean that no older or younger students ever enroll, of course. However, the above real-life information seems to match our estimation regarding Sydney's age.
If she joined the Institute when she was about 18-20 years old, she would probably still be in her early or mid-twenties when she starts working with Carmy, having had some other work experience beforehand.
