Sydney Sweeney shares her views on being called a sex symbol
In a conversation with Variety, Sydney Sweeney speaks about her status as a “sex symbol”. Sweeney earned the controversial tag, owing to her physical appearance and the roles she opts for. Aware of her mainstream perception, Sweeney was an absolute sport and responded to the tag in a positive way.
The Euphoria star recently received the honor of Variety Woman of Power. An in-depth conversation with the publication led Sweeney to bare her experiences and feelings about certain events. The discussion addresses the topic of Sweeney’s tag as a “sex symbol”. Sweeney responded by highlighting how many fans blur the line between her reel-life characters and her real self. Sweeney revealed that she has accepted the label with the intent to redefine it with a fresh, positive outlook.
“I play a lot of very divisive characters, and I think that a lot of people think they know me, but they don’t. So when people think, ‘Ah, she’s a sex symbol,’ or ‘She’s leaning into that,’ I’m like, ‘No, I just feel good and I’m doing it for myself and I feel strong.’ And I hope that I can inspire other women to be confident and just flaunt what they got and feel good because you shouldn’t have to apologize or hide or cover up in any room,” Sydney said, hinting at the jeans controversy.
Sydney Sweeney is all set to rule the festive season with back-to-back releases. Her upcoming movie, Christy, a biopic about boxer Christy Martin, is all set to release on November 7. Sweeney’s next movie, Housemaid, follows closely with a December 25 release.
