Almost everyone is a fan of Sydney Sweeney — but not Carol Baum. The Father of the Bride producer held nothing back while revealing to an audience at a screening of her film Dead Ringers why she doesn’t “get” the 26-year-old movie icon.
“I don’t get Sydney Sweeney,” Carol began, per Daily Mail. “I was watching on the plane Sydney Sweeney’s movie because I wanted to watch it. I wanted to know who she is and why everybody’s talking about her.”
The USC School of Cinematic Arts instructor went on to call Sydney’s latest film with Glen Powell, Anyone But You, “unwatchable.”
“I watched this unwatchable movie — sorry to people who love this movie — [this] romantic comedy where they hate each other,” Carol explained. “I said to my class, ‘Explain this girl to me. She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?’ “Nobody had an answer, but then the question was asked, ‘Well, if you could get your movie made because she was in it, would you do it?’”
In response, Carol said, “Well, that’s a really good question … that’s a very hard question to answer because we all want to get the movie made and who walks away from a green light? Nobody I know. Your job is to get the movie made.’”
Sydney’s rep responded to Carol’s comments in a statement obtained by The New York Post.
“How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman,” Sydney’s rep said. “If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach to her students, that’s shameful.”
