Sydney Sweeney has addressed how she manages the challenges associated with being a celebrity in Hollywood.
In a relatively short period, Sweeney has risen to prominence in the entertainment industry, yet this fame brings its own set of complications.
Although she likely enjoys a lucrative career and has a massive fan base worldwide, the spotlight often attracts a barrage of unsolicited remarks.
Recently, social media users began discussing Sweeney’s physique following a video clip on X showing her at the Los Angeles premiere of her film, The Housemaid.
Unexpectedly, one of the remarks came from Elon Musk, who made a notable comment about the actress’s appearance.
The tech billionaire surprised many by posting an AI meme depicting a woman with a large chest accompanied by the caption ‘what it looks like’, juxtaposed with another image captioned ‘how it feels’, showing a person with a strained spine.
Musk added the caption: “Can’t be easy.”
The Cleveland Clinic notes that ‘people with disproportionately large breasts can experience pain in their back, neck or shoulders and other physical symptoms’.

This post generated a spectrum of reactions, with some labeling Musk as ‘weird’, and others suggesting he focus on creating a better bra for women.
In a recent interview with Times critic Lorraine Ali, Sweeney addressed the personal comments she often receives, shedding light on how she remains focused amid such negativity.
When asked about managing negative attention in her personal life while concentrating on her career, the Euphoria actress shared: “It helps when you love what you do. Like, if you’re loving the characters that you get to play, you’re loving the people you get to work with, and you’re proud of what you’re doing, then it’s just outside noise.
“When we walk on set, the world kind of disappears and we get come to life in a different kind of way. Those are the moments and the relationships that matter. Everything else is just people we don’t know.”
Sweeney has also addressed the speculation surrounding her appearance, particularly rumors of plastic surgery over the years.
Speaking to Variety, she clarified: “I’ve never gotten anything done. I’m absolutely terrified of needles. No tattoos. Nothing.
“I’m going to age gracefully. 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.”
