Sydney Sweeney reveals she was told to ‘fix’ her face to make it in Hollywood
Sydney Sweeney on playing Christy Martin: 'You're telling their truth'
Sydney Sweeney revealed she faced criticism during early acting auditions, including being told to fix her face or get Botox at 16 due to her expressive eyebrows.
She also recounted an experience where a casting director was inattentive during her audition, eating a bag of chips.
Despite these negative encounters, Mike White, creator of The White Lotus, praised Sweeney's “unaffected” quality and “natural screen magnetism.”
Last month, Leonardo DiCaprio revealed that he was advised to change his name to “Lenny Williams” at around 12 or 13 because his birth name was deemed “too ethnic.”
DiCaprio's father strongly opposed the suggested name change, ensuring his son retained his original identity.
