Sydney Sweeney was told to 'fix my face' as a 16-year-old to make it in Hollywood
Sydney Sweeney is now one of Hollywood's most in-demand actors and is already surrounded by Oscar buzz for her latest biopic, about American boxer Christy Martin.
But the Anyone But You actress has revealed as an up-and-comer in the industry she was told to get Botox to "fix" her face to make it in Hollywood, considering the teen's expressive eyebrows problematic.
"I had someone tell me to fix my face or else I'm not going to make it," Sweeney told Variety.

"I should get Botox. I was 16!"
The now 28-year-old, made the revelation as she responded to plastic surgery speculation in the wide-ranging cover story for the industry publication.
"I've never gotten anything done," she noted.
"I'm absolutely terrified of needles."

Sweeney added she likes to keep people guessing in all elements of the job, saying "a lot of people think they know me, but they don't".
Hinting at the recent uproar around her American Eagle jeans commercial, she wants to inspire others to be their unapologetic selves.
"When people think, 'Ah, she's a sex symbol,' or 'She's leaning into that,' I'm like, 'No, I just feel good and I'm doing it for myself and I feel strong'," she said.
"And I hope that I can inspire other women to be confident and just flaunt what they got and feel good because you shouldn't have to apologise or hide or cover up in any room."
And as one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood these days, The White Lotus and Euphoria star has plenty to "feel good" about - especially, sticking it to the person who told her to have cosmetic work done as a teenager.
