Sydney Sweeney on Fame, Hollywood Fakery and the Pressure of ... (Hollywood Reporter)

Even with Emmy nods for 'The White Lotus' and 'Euphoria', the actress says she feels an intense need to keep her momentum going.

“People forget that I’m playing a character, they think, ‘Oh, she gets naked onscreen, she’s a sex symbol,’ ” she says, referring to her many nude scenes in Euphoria. “And I can’t get past that. She is such a force and really knows how to get things done in a way that might surprise people who only watch her on TV.” She tells me that, in photo shoots and on red carpets, she’ll even create a persona for herself, a way to calm her nerves and add a layer of armor between who she really is and who the job requires her to be. It became the first time she was recognized in public with frequency, often by women who felt compelled to tell her they hate her character: “I think most people wanted Elisabeth’s [Moss] and Max’s characters to be together, and Eden disrupted that.” “I couldn’t believe I was even able to buy a house,” she says. “I want to have a family, I’ve always wanted to be a young mom, and I’m worried about how this industry puts stigmas on young women who have children and looks at them in a different light,” she says. “I thought that if I made enough money, I’d be able to buy my parents’ house back and that I’d be able to put my parents back together,” she says. “If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don’t have income to cover that,” she says. “Then toward the end, they opened up the resort to guests, and it became clear I did not belong [among the clientele]. I would go to breakfast in my sweatshirt and pajama shorts and get the most disgusting glares from the guests that I dared to show up like that.” For much of the shoot, she had the run of the place, getting to know the staff well enough to pop in to the kitchen and grab food from the refrigerator. It also was Sweeney’s first time at an exclusive resort, giving her a front-row seat to a class divide that she’s still grappling with: balancing her lower-middle-class upbringing and the wealth-filled spaces she finds herself in now. It’s a hard lesson to accept, given the amount of pressure Sweeney feels to maximize this pivotal moment in her career — and the way the very same anxiety often will convince her that the momentum could stop at any time.

Sydney Sweeney may star in one of the biggest shows on TV right now, but she still hasn't earned enough to take a break from acting.

I have no problems with those scenes, and I won’t stop doing them, but I wish there was an easier way to have an open conversation about what we’re assuming about actors in the industry.” Sweeney noted a similar occurrence in a January interview with The Independent, where she said Cassie was supposed to have more nude scenes in the second season, but when she felt it wasn’t necessary, Levinson never pushed her to do them. Despite the show being known for its focus on hardcore drugs and graphic sex scenes, there have been reports that Levinson is receptive to changes regarding how much actors are willing to bare.

I have no problems with those scenes, and I won't stop doing them, but I wish there was an easier way to have an open conversation about what we're assuming about actors in the industry." She has sparked a lot of buzz, including in regards to conversations about "Euphoria" creator and sole staff writer Sam Levinson's use of sex scenes and nudity -- which some have complained is too much. That might sound weird coming from an actress given how much discussion there is about big pay days in the industry.

In a new interview, the Euphoria star spoke openly about the mental health problems she has experienced as a cause of her Gen Z TV star burnout. She told The ...

"If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don't have income to cover that," Sweeney said. On top of that, Sweeney said she's still too busy and too underpaid to take a break for motherhood. Sweeney—who is reportedly engaged to restaurateur Jonathan Davino—told THR she wants to hit that milestone, but she's scared about how it will be taken in the industry. And though it helped her relax at the time, she said, "I still can't get my mind to shut up, and I don't sleep." For starters, Sweeney is grappling with the fact that she's a film star, a fashion muse, and, well, earning (and spending) Hollywood money. To escape her busy mind and schedule, she retreated home to the Pacific Northwest for two weeks to spend time with family, go "hiking and skiing and doing what I truly love," she said.

In the interview, Sweeney says she does brand partnerships out of financial necessity: “If I just acted, I wouldn’t be able to afford my life in L.A. I take deals because I have to.” What are Levinson and HBO paying these Euphoria kids? “If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don’t have income to cover that,” she says to THR. “I don’t have someone supporting me, I don’t have anyone I can turn to, to pay my bills or call for help.” Surely HBO paychecks afford a lifestyle immune from rising gas prices?

Sydney Sweeney, 24, of HBO's "Euphoria" gave a tone-deaf interview about her rough work life to The Hollywood Reporter.

Emmy-nominated 'Euphoria' star: Acting salary doesn't pay like it ... (Fortune)

The Emmy-nominated Euphoria star just bought a $3 million home and told the Hollywood Reporter she couldn't afford to take time off from acting.

Over the past couple of years, people have revealed on social media that they were for some reason surprised by the fact that people made it to Hollywood with the aid of nepotism. “I don’t have someone supporting me, I don’t have anyone I can turn to, to pay my bills or call for help.” In order to make ends meet, she’s turned to commercial deals, becoming a brand ambassador for MiuMiu and the face of an Armani beauty campaign. But Sweeney still has to keep up the trappings of stardom. While actors with shows on streamers get a residual payment, it’s a flat rate that’s not proportional to the number of people watching. But in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 24-year-old Sweeney argues that fame isn’t always as carefree as it seems.
