Sydney Sweeney is an American actress who has been alleged to be an inapt person in acting pursuit.
Born in 1997, Sydney Sweeney started her acting career in 2018 with the television series Everything Sucks!, The Handmaid’s Tale and Sharp Objects.
Besides, she appeared in multiple films, including Clementine, Big Time Adolescence, Quentin, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 2019.
But Sweeney made a breakthrough in the HBO drama series Euphoria, which helped her earn a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award in 2022.
In that series, she played Cassie Howard, who received well among the viewers. Her nude scenes attracted significant attention and made news all over.
Next, Sweeney gradually starred in the TV film Nocturne and the black comedy series The White Lotus in 2020 and 2021.
Portraying a sardonic college sophomore, Sweeney won critical acclaim, boasting the second nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award in 2022.
With this all, the romantic comedy Anyone but You added a new success to her in 2023.
Is Sydney Sweeney Bad Actress? Why?
Recently, Sydney starred in the superhero movie Madame Web, which saddened the box office and received negative reviews from viewers. Is this why Sydney Sweeney has been alleged to be a bad actress?
Wait!
Hollywood producer Carol Baum publicly questioned Sydney’s physical appearance and acting ability, calling her “not pretty” and “she can’t act.”
Carol Baum has made several successful movies, including The Good Girl, Father of the Bride, and Fly Away Home, and now teaches at the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
Talking with the Daily Mail, she narrated her teaching event.
“I said to my class, ‘Explain this girl to me. She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?”
And Baum was questioned, “Well if you could get your movie made because she was in it, would you do it?”
Baum explained that her job as a producer is to accept and get the movie made after the studio gives her the green signal. So, she will not regret continuing to produce the movie even if Sydney Sweeney is in it.
Sydney Sweeney’s Response to the Allegation
After Baum’s remark went viral, many fans felt bad for Sweeney. One of the producers, Teddy Schwarzman, showed resentment, writing:
“I’m not sure why someone who claims to still be a producer would make such terribly ugly comments, but I can assure everyone that Sydney is at least beautiful on the inside.”
Whenever Sydney Sweeney was asked about her involvement in the nude scene on the screen or the camera, she called it empowerment. And she has a good sense of humor regarding such spicy gossip.
But she burst into tears when she was trended online for alleged statements about her appearance and ability. Live on Instagram, she said that people must treat others nicely. She faced lashes the other day and has been medicating to deal with it.
Further, Sweeney expressed:
“Apparently I am trending on Twitter right now for being ugly, and I would never actually do this, like ever, but I think that it’s really important for people to see how words actually affect people.”
After the viral statement about Sweeney, Baum has finally expressed regret on TMZ. According to the magazine, Baum wishes she would not make such a statement publicly, and the crapping on an actor is not part of her personality.
Sydney Sweeney is a 26-year-old rising star in Hollywood who recently received nasty comments but has successfully overcome them.
Now, she is happily engaged to businessman Jonathan Davino. Though they have kept their relationship private, the couple is spotted producing movies together.
