Sydney Sweeney, the actress known for her roles in shows like “Euphoria,” is talking about the challenges she faces in Hollywood. She feels that sometimes she’s only seen for her looks, not for her acting talent.
Sweeney, now 28, says this has been happening since her role in “Euphoria.” She believes that because her character in that show was very popular and known for being sexualized, people in the industry started to see her that way too.
She also mentioned that even her brothers tease her with memes of her own characters. Sweeney says she has tried to take on different roles to change people’s minds about her. She’s played a boxer in “Christy,” and has taken on roles in movies like “Reality,” “Americana,” and “Eden.” She hopes these roles will show people that she can do more than just play one type of character.
At a recent event, Sweeney received an award for her work as an advocate. She dedicated the award to Christy Martin, the boxer she plays in her new movie. Sweeney said she relates to Martin’s story because she knows what it’s like to be underestimated and to have to prove herself.
Sweeney’s “Euphoria” co-star, Sharon Stone, has also spoken out in support of Sweeney, saying that it’s okay to embrace your looks and use what you have.
