Sydney Sweeney recently revealed in an interview with Diversity that her breakthrough role in “Euphoria” presented some unexpected challenges regarding getting a part in “The White Lotus.”
According to Sweeney, casting directors associated her with the special and spoiled characters she played in “Euphoria” as Cassie Howard and “In the White Lotus” as Olivia Mossbacher.
As a result, it was challenging for him to audition for roles that deviated from this typical character type. She said, “There are always people who see me as Cassie or see me as Olivia. They sent me a script like that.”
However, Sweeney remains determined to pursue a diverse and distinctive role. He emphasized, “It’s what I have to fight for that is usually what I want to be different, like “Reality.” I had to audition for that. I had to put myself on tape and send in my audition just like everyone else.”

In his conversation with Diversity, Sweeney shared his experience, saying, “It’s the same for ‘White Lotus.’ They didn’t think I was right for ‘White Lotus’ because I did ‘Euphoria.’ So I put myself on tape, auditioned for ‘White Lotus’ like everyone else, and got callbacks like everyone else.”
“I can be offered roles similar to the ones I’ve played, but different ones, which surprise the people I do, are the ones I usually have to fight for,” he explained.
Following the successful launch of the initial season of “Euphoria” in 2019, Sweeney’s career has grown with many exciting projects.
She has landed a coveted role alongside Dakota Johnson in the highly anticipated Sony Marvel film “Madame Web”. Additionally, Sweeney teams up with the talented Glen Powell for a charming romantic comedy titled “Anyone But You.”

“We zoomed for a few hours. He was kind enough just to let me ask him a lot of questions about his life and getting to know him, getting to know his relationships and his family and his experiences with FBI interrogations,” he said.

In an interview with Hollywood Reporter Last year, Sweeney spoke about her financial challenges as an actress, despite her success in the industry. The 25-year-old actor shared his inability to take a six-month break from acting due to the huge costs associated with his career.
“If I want to rest for six months, I don’t have the income to cover it. I don’t have someone to support me, I don’t have anyone I can call to pay my bills or ask for help,” said Sweeney, per Insider.
He also said, “They don’t pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you don’t get a balance anymore.” Breaking down how his income is reduced, Sweeney added, “The big stars still get paid, but I have to give 5 percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agent, 3 percent or something like that to my business manager. I have to pay my publicity every month, and that’s more than my mortgage.”
