Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney has shared her top advice for young performers aiming to make it in the entertainment industry. Speaking at the New York City premiere of her latest film The Housemaid, the 28-year-old star emphasized the importance of passion and perseverance.
“Do it as long as you love it,” Sweeney told People. She explained that the acting world is filled with rejection and setbacks. “You have to love it deeply because it’s really hard, and you’re going to hear ‘no’ more than ‘yes.’ If you truly love it, none of that matters—you get to do what you love,” she added.
Sweeney began her career in 2009, initially appearing in guest roles on shows like Grey’s Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars. Her breakthrough came in the late 2010s with critically acclaimed performances in The Handmaid’s Tale, Sharp Objects, and Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. She rose to global prominence through Euphoria and later starred in projects like The White Lotus, Immaculate, Anyone but You, Madame Web, and Christy. She has also explored producing, broadening her footprint in the industry.
In The Housemaid, based on Freida McFadden’s psychological thriller, Sweeney plays a desperate young woman who takes a position with a wealthy couple, portrayed by Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar. Reflecting on her early years, she said she always loved auditioning and experimenting with different characters.
Earlier, Sydney Sweeney, the 28-year-old Hollywood actress, has found herself at the center of one of the year’s most unusual celebrity controversies. The actor, known for her prominent roles in popular series and films, became the target of widespread online criticism following her participation in American Eagle’s summer jeans campaign.
The controversy stems from the campaign’s slogan, which featured a pun on “genes” and “jeans.” Social media users argued that the pun could be interpreted as promoting eugenics, a highly sensitive and historically charged concept. The campaign, intended to promote body positivity and fashion, instead sparked heated discussions across Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. Users accused Sweeney and the brand of either insensitivity or ignorance toward the implications of the pun.
