Sydney Sweeney is setting the record straight about her appearance, shutting down years of speculation once and for all.
The 28-year-old Euphoria star revealed to Variety whether she’s ever undergone cosmetic work — and whether she’d consider it in the future.
“I’ve never gotten anything done. I’m absolutely terrified of needles. No tattoos. Nothing. I’m going to age gracefully,” Sweeney told the outlet.
She also addressed the viral “comparison photos” that often circulate online, saying, “It’s really funny. I’ll see things online like ‘comparison pictures.’ I’m like, ‘I’m 12 in that photo. Of course I’m going to look different. I have makeup on now and I’m 15 years older.’”
Despite her natural looks, Sweeney faced tough auditions as a teen from rural Idaho trying to make it in Hollywood.
“I have very strong eyebrow muscles,” she told the outlet. “And I had someone tell me to fix my face or else I’m not going to make it. I should get Botox. I was 16! Or I’m in a casting and I’m reading my scene and the casting director is eating a bag of chips, and I’m like, ‘You’re not paying attention at all.’”
While she’s never gone under the knife, Sweeney revealed she once seriously considered a breast reduction. In a 2023 interview with Glamour UK, the actress reflected on her teenage insecurities and admitted she felt self-conscious about her body in high school.
“When I was in high school, I used to feel uncomfortable about how big my boobs were, and I used to say that when I turned 18, I was going to get a boob job to make them smaller,” Sweeney recalled. But it was her mother who persuaded her not to go through with it. “‘Don’t do it. You’ll regret it in college,’” she said. She added, “And I’m so glad I didn’t. I like them. They’re my best friends.”
Today, Sweeney is a vocal advocate for embracing your natural body and celebrating confidence over perfection. “Flaunt what you got. Own it. Love them,” she said. She acknowledged that she used to hide her body when she was younger, but over time, her self-assurance grew. “Everybody’s body is beautiful. When you are confident and you’re happy within is when it really shows to other people,” she explained.
