After Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle jeans campaign got a lot of negative attention, Hollywood veteran Sharon Stone spoke out in support of her “Euphoria” co-star. The campaign’s tagline, “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” was a play on words with “genes,” which caused a lot of controversy on social media. Some said it was racist and catered to men. At Variety’s Power of Women event in Los Angeles, Stone stood up for Sweeney. She said, “It’s okay to use what mama gave you,” and praised the young actress for confidently embracing her own unique kind of “hotness.”
Sharon Stone’s Strong Message: Be Proud of How Hot You Are
Stone stressed how important it is to accept yourself and have confidence during the controversy. She told Variety, “It’s hard to be hot, and I think we all know that.” You can use all of your hotness right now. Go for whatever that is. The experienced actress told everyone to embrace their beauty and said, “Who you are isn’t an accident.” Stone also told a story about the late primatologist Jane Goodall. She was also criticized for being on the cover of a magazine “because she had good legs.” This was similar to what Sweeney went through.
Sydney Sweeney’s Reaction and Career Highlights
Sweeney was filming “Euphoria” Season 3 with Stone when the controversy happened. She responded with humor and strength, saying she was proud to have brought a lot of attention to the jeans company through the campaign. Sweeney is still a rising star in Hollywood, even though people are upset with her. She will reprise her role as Cassie Howard in HBO’s hit show with Zendaya. American Eagle stood up for the “Good Jeans” campaign, saying it “is and always was about the jeans.” They praised people for being confident and open-minded when they wear their clothes.
Support from the industry and future projects for Sweeney
Paul Feig, who is directing Sweeney’s next movie, “The Maid,” also spoke out in support of her. He said that the controversy was just a media creation. Meanwhile, Stone’s role in Season 3 of “Euphoria” is an exciting collaboration between actresses from two different generations. Stone called the experience “a joy” and praised Sweeney’s self-awareness and centered confidence.
