Sydney Sweeney opens up about her nudity on screen

(CNN) — With two first-time Emmy nominations for her roles in “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” Sydney Sweeney is riding high in Hollywood.

But that doesn’t mean you already have it all figured out.

“If I wanted to take a six-month break, I have no income to cover it,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.

“I have no one to support me, I have no one I can turn to, to pay my bills or ask for help.”

This might sound weird coming from an actress, given how much big pay is discussed in the industry. But she explained that while established stars get paid big, “they don’t pay actors like they used to, and with streamers you don’t get royalties anymore.”

Not that Sweeney isn’t on his way.

Sydney Sweeney attends the HBO Max FYC event for “Euphoria” at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on April 20 in Los Angeles.

The actress has sparked many rumours, including in regards to talk of “Euphoria” creator and sole writer Sam Levinson’s use of sex scenes and nudity, which some have complained is too much. (Both HBO, home of “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” and CNN share parent company Warner Bros. Discovery.)

Sweeney didn’t want to delve into that too much with the publication saying, “I have complete trust in the filmmakers I work with, and I’m always very excited about what Sam writes.”

“People forget I’m playing a character, they think, ‘Oh, she’s naked on screen, she’s a sex symbol,'” she said. “And I can’t get over that. I don’t have a problem 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 from actors in the industry.”
