Sydney Sweeney Shares Desire to Become a "Young Mom" After ... (E! Online)

Sydney Sweeney revealed that she once reached out to a fellow actress for advice about how to navigate having a successful film career and starting a family ...

And that's really, really hard." Sydney's comments come four months after E! News learned that she had gotten engaged to restauranteur Jonathan Davino back in March. "She and Johnny refer to each other as fiancés," a source exclusively told E! News at the time. "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 told The Hollywood Reporter. "I was worried that, if I don't work, there is no money and no support for kids I would have."

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 'Always Wanted to Be a Young Mom,' Calls Out ... (PEOPLE.com)

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney said that while she always desired to be a 'young mom,' the industry 'puts stigmas' on actresses who want to start a family.

"If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don't have income to cover that," she said. I think there are so many incredible actors that I was rooting for, so I wasn't ready." The established stars still get paid, but I have to give 5 percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agents, 3 percent or something like that to my business manager.

Is Sydney Sweeney Gen Z's Answer to Tom Brady? (Gawker)

Euphoria actor Sydney Sweeney and football player Tom Brady — on the surface, it may not seem like these rising stars have much in common at all.

I would say that’s pretty compelling evidence that Sydney Sweeney is Gen Z’s answer to Tom Brady. “To this day, her drink of choice is water, and over breakfast she tells me she’s never even tried coffee,” says the Hollywood Reporter. “‘If I’m celebrating, or it’s a very rare occasion, I’ll have a Shirley Temple,’ she said.” “She has just flown down from Boston to New York, where she’s spending several months in production for Marvel’s Madame Web movie,” says the Hollywood Reporter of Sydney Sweeney. Well, well, well.

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.

"If I just acted, I wouldn’t be able to afford my life in L.A," she said. "The established stars still get paid, but I have to give 5 percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agents, 3 percent or something like that to my business manager. "I don't have someone supporting me.

With two Emmy nominations under her belt, it appears Sydney Sweeney has “never, ever been happier.” The in-demand actress, who was nominated for best ...

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.

Sydney Sweeney Won't Stop Shooting Nude Scenes (GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT)

Sydney Sweeney says she won't stop being filmed in the buff, ands we're sure everyone is very upset about that.

Madame Web is yet another entry to Sony’s Spiderverse of films which includes Venom, Morbius, and the upcoming Kraven the Hunter. Madame Web is a clairvoyant mutant in the comics and Dakota Johnson is reported to be playing the title role, so it’ll be interesting to see who Sweeney is playing. Of course, Madame Web is a Spider-Man character, so there was bound to be some action involved. Sweeney’s performance as Cassie earned her an Emmy nod, as did her performance in The White Lotus. This isn’t much to go off of, but it seems like it’ll be a more action-oriented role for Sweeney if she’s been training for on-screen fights. Of course, it probably depends on the crew and the people working on the scene, but Euphoria seems to have it down to a science at this point. Sydney Sweeney has quickly risen to be one of Hollywood’s most exciting and dynamic young actors, but her road to superstardom hasn’t been overly typical for the star.

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.

Sydney Sweeney said in an interview that she'd like to be a young mom but worries about stigma and the financial burden.

My mom and I shared a bed and my dad, and little brother shared a couch,” Sweeney said. My parents weren’t back together, and there was nothing I could do to help.” Sydney Sweeney isn't pregnant yet (that I know of), but she's already concerned about the stigma society and Hollywood puts on young mothers.

Sam Levinson Should Pay Sydney Sweeney's Mortgage (Vulture)

'Euphoria' star Sydney Sweeney spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about financial transparency and struggles, and how acting pays less than it used to for ...

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? (I am not a financial adviser and this is not financial advice.)

In fact, she said she wishes she could change the assumptions made about her based on that character’s actions. Sydney Sweeney said while she thrives on the heavy plots Cassie saw in Euphoria Season 2, she wishes people made more of a differentiation between who she is and the character she’s playing. The actress, who is up for two Primetime Emmy Awards this year for her roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, spoke to THR about her career and how she is perceived, particularly in regards to the behavior of her character on Sam Levinson’s HBO drama.

Sydney Sweeney Says She Wouldn't Be Able to Afford a 'Six-Month ... (PEOPLE.com)

"They don't pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you no longer get residuals," Sydney Sweeney explained to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday.

"If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don't have income to cover that," she told the magazine. I think there are so many incredible actors that I was rooting for, so I wasn't ready." Despite this, Sweeney is in the lucky position of no longer feeling like she needs to take every offer that comes her way – and loves to negotiate her salary when she does. This, in fact, is part of what led Sweeney to take on various brand deals. "The established stars still get paid, but I have to give 5 percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agents, 3 percent or something like that to my business manager. Yet even this comes with a downside as her dreams of a carefree life in California were quickly crushed when the home's location went viral.
