Kim Novak: 'Sydney Sweeney looks sexy all the time. She could never play me' (Ed Potton/The Times)
Basically, old Hollywood actress Kim Novak said that Sydney Sweeney, the young star from 'Euphoria,' looks too sexy all the time to play her in a movie. Novak was talking about her life and how being seen as 'pretty' sometimes made her career harder.
Kim Novak is a 93-year-old classic film actress best known for Alfred Hitchcock’s 'Vertigo,' and Sydney Sweeney is a popular young actress and producer known for 'Euphoria' and 'Anyone But You.'
People are reacting because it touches on Hollywood’s long debate about beauty, image, and how older stars view the new generation. It also shows how Sweeney’s public persona—glamorous and confident—has become part of her brand, for better or worse.
If this comes up, you can say: 'Yeah, Kim Novak kind of threw shade at Sydney Sweeney, saying she’s too sexy to play her. It’s that classic old-school vs new-Hollywood thing.'
