Longtime Producer Says Sydney Sweeney Is 'Not Pretty' And 'Can't Act'
HuffPost
Carol Baum went scorched-earth on one of Hollywood's emerging stars.
A longtime Hollywood producer said that emerging superstar Sydney Sweeney is “not pretty” and “can’t act,” in a hot take quickly making the media rounds.
Carol Baum, an industry veteran whose credits include the films “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Father of the Bride,” issued her opinion last week after a screening of the 1988 movie “Dead Ringers,” the Daily Mail reported Tuesday.
Sweeney received Emmy nominations for “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus” and recently starred in the movies “Immaculate” and “Madame Web.” She also guest-hosted “Saturday Night Live” and starred in a Rolling Stones music video that highlighted her curvaceous figure.
Baum’s controversial assessment of the young actor was sparked by Sweeney’s appearance in the recent rom-com “Anyone but You.”
“There’s an actress who everybody loves now - Sydney Sweeney,” Baum reportedly said Thursday at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, New York. “I don’t get Sydney Sweeney.”
