One of Hollywood’s most important producers criticizes actress Sydney Sweeney.

Producer Carol Baum is irritated that the actress is so popular at the moment.

However, there is a scenario in which Baum would work with Sweeney.
Hardly any other actress is currently being discussed as much as 26-year-old Sydney Sweeney. Now Hollywood’s top producer Carol Baum is also tearing her mouth apart about the “Euphoria” star. “She’s not pretty and can’t act,” says Baum in an interview with the New York Times.
The producer recently wanted to find out why the young actress is so popular right now. During a flight, Baum watched the romantic comedy “Anyone But You” with Sweeney in the lead role. The film was almost unbearable. Braun teaches at the USC School of Cenematic Arts in Los Angeles and then asked her class why Sweeney was one of the most sought-after actresses in the world. “Nobody had an answer,” Baum tells the New York Times.
However, someone in the class then asked back: “If you got your film project financed because Sweeney was in it, would you work with her?” Baum struggled for a moment, but then said yes. «Who refuses financing for a film project? At least no one I know. After all, my job is to produce films.”
Right-wing provocateurs use Sweeney to criticize wokeness
Since her appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” Sydney Sweeney (26) has been confronted with criticism from conservative corners. She killed the era of “wokeness”.
The author of the book “The Origin of Wokeness” and right-wing commentator Richard Hanania initiated the debate on In his opinion, Sweeney ended the “wokeness” movement with her choice of outfit, a dress with a neckline.
This is because she made use of her stereotypical beauty, or rather her décolleté, when performing. The “wokeness” movement and with it the success of people who are not conventionally attractive are over. Some at X, formerly Twitter, disagreed with this. “As if traditional beauty standards had ever disappeared and as if anyone had ever said that you can’t like traditionally attractive women,” writes one person.
After Carol Baum’s criticism, the discussion about Sydney Sweeney is entering the next round.
According to the Gabler Lexicon, the term means the attitude and movement of alertness and vigilance. You follow what is happening in the world closely and want to remove anti-Semitism, racism, sexism, violence, environmental destruction, factory farming and other evils from it by raising your voice, in the mass media and on social media, on the streets and in squares Schools, universities and companies. In English, “to be woke” means “to be vigilant” against injustices of all kinds; “Woke” is the first past tense of “to wake up”. In German, “woke” is used as an adjective (“I am woke.”) or noun (in the sense of the woke movement or culture).
