Sydney Sweeney ‘Not Pretty, Can’t Act,’ Says Hollywood Producer Carol Baum

Sydney Sweeney ain’t as hot as we all think … that’s Hollywood producer Carol Baum‘s take, anyway, and she’s teeing off on the actress’ looks and acting ability.

Carol ripped into Sydney during a discussion before a screening of her 1988 film, “Dead Ringers” — and kinda outta nowhere, she took issue with Sydney’s recent romantic comedy, “Anyone But You” … slamming it as unwatchable.

Carol — whose credits include “Father of the Bride” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” — said she’d asked her students at USC to explain the craze surrounding Sydney.

According to Daily Mail, she said … “I said to my class, ‘Explain this girl to me. She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?”’

However, Carol acknowledged casting a popular actress is a great way to get the green light for your movie.

She added, “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 star has been on the rise since landing a supporting role on HBO’s “Euphoria.” Her performance in season 2 earned her a Primetime Emmy nomination in 2022.

She actually got 2 Emmy nominations that year, as she was also nominated for her work in “White Lotus” season 1 … losing to costar Jennifer Coolidge.

Sydney has starred in 3 films in the last 6 months … but critics haven’t necessarily loved her movies. Remember, she was part of the ensemble cast for the laughably bad superhero flick, “Madame Web.”
