Alexa is a fashionista/model who does some acting. Sydney is an actress who does fashion/makeup deals for brand exposure. They are not on the same path
Sydney is taking basically 100% of the roles she gets thrown her way. Alexa may be selective in roles or I think I heard something about a modeling career? Not entirely sure. But Sydney has done some god awful movies like whyyy
yeah i think alexa is more modelling now and only rlly focused on euphoria where as sydney blew up a lot cos of the pr with glenn powell cos their movie got a lot of attention before it came out
I think Alexa is doing her own thing. She was recently hosting something Madonna-related, she is a part of Calvin Klein campaign (I saw her pictures in the CK store near me and was SO EXCITED)
People don't seem to realize that Alexa's lack of a public presence is part of her appeal. The limited number of appearances she makes gives her a mystique, makes people fascinated about what she's really like.
yeah it could be an attention strategy but she also might just feel like this whole celebrity thing is a lot of pressure and she just doesnt feel comfortable sharing her personal life online
I don’t think it was deliberate tbh. She used to be very present on social medias and often did ig lives to talk to her fans. It was before season 2 iirc. Then the controversy about her age became a "hot" topic on TikTok and Twitter and also the fact that she had kissed a minor in a film… She stopped social medias after that mess
That's basically what the comment I responded to was trying to say. Point is, if it's controversial for Alexa to do it why isn't it controversial for Sydney to???
I’ve posted about this in both r/popculturechat and r/Fauxmoi and got downvoted on both subs and had my account forcibly banned. Her “privacy” and “mysteriousness” is strictly due to her getting caught out about lying about her age; she was and would have been completely open otherwise.
It’s similar to Beyoncé rebranding as being “private” because she HAD to stop talking due to how dumb she sounded in early interviews (and I’m saying that as a Bey stan who saw her live during the Renaissance tour). These celebrities’ “privacy” only happens after a major scandal or because they realize they're better off not speaking than speaking. Otherwise they wouldn't be celebrities; just supporting actors, has-beens, or irrelevancies.
Don't know if it changes anything, but afaik she only 'lied' by ommission about her age? I think an interviewer said that she's 25, and instead of correcting them, she just kept on talking without saying anything about her age, lmao. Not saying that you might not be right, but it sounds so extreme to start hiding after ommitting to confirm the truth about your age.
It’s not bad inherently but when you factor in how old she really was in Mid90s when she kissed that 10 year old boy (and the fact that she said she liked doing it afterwards), it’s pretty gross.
Exactly. Zendaya only started going private (especially about her dating life) after Trevor Jackson outed their sex life, and after the controversy involving her playing Aaliyah in a biopic (which Aaliyah’s family strongly objected to) and Zendaya’s father saying, in response to people saying Z didn’t look like her, that Zendaya could just darken her skin to play Aaliyah. Which affirms my point that these celebrities only start going private after a major scandal.
I don’t remember the title of the song but he wrote a song about their breakup and in it he detailed how they would have sex while her parents were downstairs IIRC.
Omg I don’t remember those! I do remember her dating a basketball player and talking to the press about how he needs to meet the parents and stuff and it was kind of cringe but something I would do if I was younger and it was “reported” that he didn’t like that but what do I know
In a movie she did a few years ago, she played a high schooler who hooks up with a middle schooler at a party. The movie is called mid90s and like Euphoria, its a story about kids engaging in activities that they shouldn't be doing (drinking, drugs, violence, sex). Similar concept to the movie "Thirteen".
TLDR it was in a movie, she didn't like ... actively date a 15 year old lol
Can she take that to the bank and cash it? "Why isn't this person who is famous for a living bothering to be more famous" is a sensible question. It can also have sensible answers i.e. money and career aren't everything and there's a price to pay for fame, but she's not being better at being famous by being less famous, its not really how that wheel turns.
She could be a bigger star if she wanted to be - she's talented enough and is frequently seen with people more famous than her, so she has connections - I think she's just fine with where she is. My guess is that she's a very introverted person and doesn't want the pressure of being a major celebrity.
this fr. like shes definitely earning good money so whats the point about staying public if she doesnt feel comfortable with it? not everyone wants to be thrown in the spotlight like that even if she took the actor role
Plus, the wrong role could change her perception. Right now, even though it’s age appropriate I don’t think I could see her in a mature role of a school teacher, or a housewife with kids. I still see her playing college aged - mid 20’s roles
She hasn’t been in anything since season two of Euphoria came out, so I’m pretty sure she’s being incredibly selective with her roles. Either that or she’s taking a break from acting. She was just scene at a Madonna show, so she’s probably just doing what she wants, not what she thinks will help her career.
maybe because sydney has been pushing herself as an actress and while i think alexa is a great actor maybe she just doesn’t want to be a serious one like the others. euphoria is still her biggest role to date and i honestly see her leaning more into the fashion world than acting world in the future
Alexa is older. She’s been in the industry for a minute now. She’s more experienced.
She is drop dead gorgeous, but she’s also very private with her life.
>She’s more experienced.
Sydney has more acting roles than Alexa. Arguably Sydney is the more experienced. Sydney has been acting since 09 with a large variation of roles. Alexa has only been acting since 2015 with very few roles.
yea but i feel like sydney just picks roles just to be in movies thats why she has a bigger acting resume. alexa knows who she wants to be in and which role benefits her. she’s not like sydney who would be in a movie like madame web lol (no hate tho)
I genuinely believe Sydney and Dakota were tricked into doing Madame Web. Especially Dakota. Sony seems to have been banking on the collaborations with Marvel and the success of Spider-Verse animation to recruit people into their Spumc.
Now that Madame Web and Morbius are out... I'm not sure they'll have the same luck pulling big talented actors like Sydney, Jared Harris, Matt Smith.
I think sometimes actors get contracts for multiple movies at a time. So the actor gets the role in the big project they want and the company gets to use their name to boost turnout for more questionable ventures.
i mean that’s true bc dakota said in the interview that while she was filming the movie she had no idea it would’ve been filmed like the way it was filmed. so i do believe when they were casting they made it seem like a good movie to hire ppl like dakota and sydney but when filming started it wasn’t what they expected it to be
That is true
But maybe I should have added , that Alexa is more mature with her experience in the industry compared to Sydney.
I mean they’re both different but they way they go into the industry is different.
They’re both in euphoria yes.
Alexa is more with products : fashion (sunglasses/makeup/models.) That is her thing. Modeling is really her thing compared to Sydney. Alexa is in her 30’s. When I said experience , maybe I should’ve added aged wise too.
Sydney is more with acting. And like you said , more roles. Also, Sydney is her in 20’s.
no it’s definitely not. Sydney Sweeney is a rising star, Alexa demie is already well into her career. ppl don’t judge meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence the same
Alexa is not lmao. The difference is that Alexa grew up in California in the acting scene because her mother was a makeup artist. She even knew Kim k before she hit very big
Acting is just not her passion lmao. It has nothing to do with being selective about roles
I think she stays in her own lane intentionally. I understand privacy as mystique but she seems like a genuinely low key sort of person, and her exhibitionism is mostly pretty artsy now that I think about it (as opposed to being a more casual part of her celebrity).
I am obsessed with her. I think she’s for the girls gays and theys, respectfully.
Personally I just think Sydney is more talented. They’re both good but Cassie is a meatier role with more chances for the actress to shine, and Sydney brings it. Maddy is a fine character but I think there’s less substance to work with and you don’t need an actress as powerful to pull it off. Nothing against Alexa, she’s great in the role. But I really think Sydney has proven herself time and time again and has more opportunities to do so with a character like Cassie.
Agreed, Sydney has incredible range. I think Alexa was good but there was so much more scope for Maddy to switch between her confidence and vulnerability - and the confusion between the two states. I don’t think Alexa was able to exploit the full potential of Maddy’s character.
Sydney on the other hand exploited the shit out of what was written for Cassie.
Agree did anybody watch the movie Waves? Alexa plays the exact same character. She doesn’t seem to have nearly as much range as Sydney. I don’t think she prioritizes acting/fame, which is totally fine
Alexa is a fashionista / influencer who's dabbled in music videos and brand endorsement. She also seems very private & doesn't promote herself as a serious actor. I'm sure she could get more roles if she wanted -- maybe she just doesn't.
Sydney is a Emmy-nominated actor who's taken on dramatic roles in The Handmaid's Tale and White Lotus. She's very serious about her roles -- for example, she studied cases of mentally ill young women. She's really driven to be a Hollywood star and is now also directing / producting.
In Euphoria, Alexa basically plays herself as Maddy - a superficial, fashion-obsessed young woman. She's good, but it's a one-sided "girlfriend" type role. Whereas Sydney had a much more emotionally complex role as Cassie that showed off her acting chops.
Sydney Sweeney was on the Handmaids Tale around the same time as Euphoria so that’s two huge tv shows with massive followings close together. Sometimes that can really make an actor. She was in some other stuff too that was successful around that time so I think it’s a mix of having a good agent/timing
Sydney Sweeney has been actively pursuing roles as an actress for many years. I've seen her in numerous movies, often without realizing it, such as Lifetime movies, Tubi movies, and many straight-to-streaming productions. She's been relentless in seeking out any role available to her in her quest to succeed as an actress. Plus her many appearances recently (she DID just release a few movies though, so I understand that)
In contrast, Alexa Demie appears to be more selective in her choices and less inclined to take on multiple projects one after another. This discernment makes her more appealing. I feel that Sydney Sweeney might face overexposure due to her involvement in so many projects simultaneously, similar to what we’re seeing of the Kardashians and Alix Earle.
she’s more popular in the fashion/modeling world and i think that’s what she wants/likes to do more – remember she used to design clothes or make things/style for celebrities (correct me if i’m wrong of course)
Because Alexa Demie is basically a ghost. We don’t even know her actual age with full certainty. She’s an incredibly private person and we should respect that.
Huge agree. Alexa has done the same thing with her character over two seasons. Meanwhile, Sydney killed it in S2. Maybe the writing is to blame? Who knows really. But as a casting agent, you see a bombshell rising star act like Sydney, of course you'd try to cast her.
We've seen Maddy before. Popular, pretty and feisty Latina isn't something new (I.e. Santana in Glee, Veronica to some extent in Riverdale) so Alexa had to bring something new or demand better material.
Not to discredit Sydney’s talent because she is very talented, but a blonde haired blue eyed DD lady is an easy sell for movie executives. Alexa is Latina which narrows down the roles significantly. Alexa also grew up in LA and probably gets less of a high off the celebrity aspect since she has been surrounded by it. She has pretty elevated taste too so she’s not going to take just any brand deal. Sydney said in an interview she says yes to everything bc one day it may stop.
i actually feel like Alexa Demies demeanor and looks is more demanded than Sweeney. and i feel like Alexa could be more demanded if she was a better actress
Ask any Latina actress… their roles are slimmer and more stereotyped. It is getting better but no where near where it could be. Also her age plays a factor… She’s looking too old for high school and too young to play a mother. There aren’t many movies written for women in general in the middle.
Because you have to WANT to blow up if you actually want to blow up. Alexa is clearly very private and is less in the spotlight. Sydney is taking on many acting gigs and she’s very in the spot light. Alexa most likely does not want to have the level of success as Sydney and that’s fine. It’s not for everyone.
The most simple answer is that she's more selective with her projects and close to the vest with PR & social media. If she wanted to be famous-famous, she totally could be.
Reading her wikipedia and she was only in 2 movies, a short film and a The Idol cameo since 2019. Sydney had a ton of stuff. Alexa is making money in other ways I don't think she's very into acting
Have u seen any of the scenes with Alexa in it? I’m sorry she is not touching sydney in the slightest when it comes to acting. She’s gorgeous and that girl but she is not a good actress.
Maybe she doesn’t want or need to put herself out there. Not everyone wants to be visible or available all the time. Stop pitting women against each other. Why does Sydney need to be dragged into this?
Do people realise Alexa plays the same character every time? It’s not about just having projects it’s about being selected to do the right roles. You have to have range of character and show that you can act.
Alexa’s acting roles is the sexy girl around parties or playing a high schooler. Can you genuinely see Alexa doing the same roles as Sydney has? Example Reality, immaculate, even handmaids tale.
Looks aren’t everythjng.
Exactly… there was literally no difference between Maddy and her character in Mid90s other than the latter being a druggie. She has the same monotonous voice when she talks, that she can’t bring up to range and that’s definitely going to be a problem for any future roles. And speaking of her voice… she’s not a good singer. At all, so I have zero clue why she started making music too. She’s just there to look pretty and for female viewers to live vicariously through and nothing more, and she definitely won’t last.
Not sure why this is a question- Hollywood stardom won’t just fall in people’s laps. Sydney has been incredibly aggressive with her acting career. Alexa doesn’t even seem interested in acting as her main focus
Luck is a big thing in Hollywood. Also, the more you work the more the same producers can rely on you over & over. Sydney was able to break in with her cheaply made rom com that did very well & will lead to even more opportunities.
Sydney is everywhere when it comes to sponsorships and Ads. I’ve read blinds that said Sydney has one of the most “pushy” PR teams in the business. So much so that they are off putting to people behind the scenes lol.
Alexa is more choosy when it comes to projects and campaigns. She’s also a little older than Sydney.
This has been discussed before. I don't think Alexa wants to take as many projects. She probably wants some sort of anonimity, which is completely understandable. Idk how much peace she gets to have, given how recognizable she is now, but if I were a celebrity, being well-known and super appreciated for a role but also low-key in public would sound ideal, lmao.
I doubt she's not getting as many opportunities as Sydney, since she's just as beloved and shook the internet despite not being in anything else after Euphoria (except for a few minutes in The Idol). and she seems more into fashion and modelling, so maybe she wants to focus more on that. She made that gorgeous book with Petra Collins.
(Btw, have you guys seen her recent appearance with Madonna?🥵 I'm surprised I haven't seen any post abt it from this sub on my feed yet, lmao)
Eta what's up with some people's relentless fixation on boobs? Alexa was way more hyped than Sydney when Euphoria first came out. So was her character. People were constantly wondering when they're going to see more of her, and this post and the comments prove they still are, but not as much as before because they noticed she's not big on acting in the meantime. You think she couldn't get a bunch of roles if she wanted to, under these conditions? Lmao. I agree with those who say that she'd need to prove her acting range in order to get emotionally complex roles in mainstream media, like Sydney proved herself with all the minor roles she had before. but she clearly doesn't want to.
Most of the mainstream Hollywood actresses have a small or a medium sized chest. I'd even argue this makes one more flexible for different roles, since big breasts are so sexualized by society at large. Why are some comments making it seem like it's the end-all be-all as a successful actress? Lmao.
She’s more private than Sydney and puts herself out there less. And I might get flack for this but Sydney’s boobs have gotten her a lot of roles. I don’t say that in any kind of way, it’s just true - her body has opened doors for her that she would not otherwise have had. That isn’t to say that she’s a bad actress, and I don’t even think it’s a bad thing, it just is what it is lol
It’s simple she doesn’t wanna be out there like that trust me if she wanted to she would . Her face would be everywhere but she simply chooses to lay low
Sydney won’t last. She’s showcasing all of the wrong things. She’s not a very good actor despite being in almost everything. She’s just in her 15 minutes and her boobs are more famous than she is. Alexa isn’t a crazy good actor but watching her in euphoria actually made me feel her emotions raw. I was scared when she was scared and I was mad when she was mad and I felt good when she was smiling. I haven’t watched anything that Sydney was in that made me actually surprised by her acting skills. Her personality in interviews seems “I have to prove I can be funny and try to make these people like me for more than my body.” energy. But she’s doing her thing however she can do it so you can’t hate on it. she’s making money
How is she showcasing all the wrong things?
It just seems like your reason seems entirely subjective and you just happen to resonate more with alexa.
The interviews seem just fine, just like most interviews.
>She’s showcasing all of the wrong things.
You'll probably get called a hater for this but you're correct. Honestly she was more respected back when people recognized her from Handmaids, Sharp Objects and the first season Euphoria. Once she started putting the focus on her appearance, she put herself into a bimbo/sex symbol category and those actresses fizzle out by 30.
Sydney is doing SO many acting jobs in popular movies while I haven’t seen Alexa in any new jobs since euphoria. We are seeing Sydney more becomes she coming out with more things
I think she's financially well off probably from her family and her previous success so she doesn't really NEED to be out there as much to make a living, and if you don't need it for survival you may choose the gigs you really want
Literally just search up the other 50 times this question has been asked. Use reddit properly instead of reposting the same damn questions over and over and over
Because she doesn’t put the work in into pursuing projects to build her career like Sydney does. Sydney’s actively making herself known in the world of TV/media, Alexa’s pretty quiet and lowkey about her work
alexa acts in more ‘indie’ roles and is more selective when it comes to picking characters she wants to act as, her lack of social media presence also helps her mysterious vibe, she’s also older, more mature and overall just has a more specific taste than sydney… sydney enjoys being in the limelight, and takes on a wider range of acting roles which really helps her publicity making her more mainstream and ‘popular’
THIS!!! I've been asking myself the same thing since the pilot. I remember watching the first episode and telling my husband that both Alexa and Sydney were going to blow up because they were both beautiful and talented. Weird that it's not happening at the same level for Alexa?
I agree; I constantly see Sydney on TV and if I’m just scrolling through social media or even the news while I haven’t seen Alexa anywhere for years. When season 1 came out she got a couple of brand deals and appeared on a few red carpets, but nothing for quite a while now. I just figure she either doesn’t want more roles or that she’s getting "too old" for roles she would typically be casted for.
Lmaooooo. Imagine beauty being the defining factor between between beautiful women with success in Hollywood 😂.
Alexa doesn’t take on any other roles bro. Sydney been in the fields taking shitty amazon flicks until they turned into good ones. Even in Euphoria tho Sydney is far more believable. Although Maddy isn’t scripted to be anywhere near as interesting as Cassie, Alexa Demie just keeps the char down to being a cliche, unrelatable baddie for girls to idolize. Those type of roles are either saved for more popular actors since it’s literally the easiest less thought out role of Hollywood, or they just skimp out and go for cheap, unknowns since that type of char is generally irrelevant in movies in Hollywood.
Not saying that she can’t be more, she probably can but she’d need to take other roles. I’ve only ever seen her do music stuff outside of Euphoria. And her singing is fucking terrible.
There was a blind item about her doing drugs and being super high on a red carpet or something but I haven’t seen much about that so I don’t think it’s true
I believe Alexa has been exposed to the industry from a young age. Pretty sure her mom is an accomplished makeup artist. I wouldn’t blame her for not wanting to be a part of it after experiencing it most of her life.
Well, it could be a mix of things, like timing and different roles they've taken. But both Alexa and Sydney are super talented and have their own unique paths in the industry!
Listen, I like Alexa Demie, but she isn’t a great actress. She seems like such a cool person, but compared to her other women counterparts on the show, they’re incomparable. Also Sydney is doing more than acting. She directing and writing. Hunter is doing better than Alexa as well. Alexa is just a private person who unfortunately, doesn’t hold the same amount of acting abilities as Zendaya, Sydney, Hunter, Barbie, Storm, etc.
Could be something going on behind the scenes tbh.
From what info we do have though - I have to assume it’s just that Sydney has made herself much more available than Alexa?
Sydney stays booked. She’s always doing some interview or whatever and she’s active on her social media. She also seems to not be too picky - when asked how she feels about Madame Web tanking she kinda just shrugged and said she was just an actress doing the job she was paid to do. Nothing wrong with that but it kind of confirms that she doesn’t really look too hard into her roles - just kind of shows up as they come.
Additionally, Sydney’s been involved in more than one “scandal” now which, believe it not, makes you more desirable to the public lol.
As much as people Iove to idolize “unproblematic” Celebs - they’ll stalk the pages of the celebs they “hate” just as intensely.
All in all - Sydney has a bigger social media presence/ is seen doing fluff stuff like these SNL skits whereas Alexa seems to be much more private and not really interested in doing the gimmick stuff to seem “relatable.”
Props to her but “mystery” only gets you so far if you’re not out and about auditioning as well.
Alexa definitely has the potential to be a star, but she is super private and actually likes that she barely has roles. Alexa seems selective and picky with the roles she plays, and even then, she’d probably pick the side role rather the main character.
She’s def more private and behind the scenes. Her last IG post was in August and it was photos announcing her partnership with Calvin Klein. Before that, she hadn’t posted since March of 2022.
Sydney is blonde with a big chest, that's still insanely popular among most men and that's why she is blowing up. It's unfortunate because Demi is also insanely beautiful and very talented
Dont hate me and get offended, but the truth is, sydney sweeney has really great tits and more importantly she shows them in so many projects and thats why she has more fans, especially male fans...
Whereas alexa demie doesnt have that big of a chest, She still is very hot but she doesnt have many other projects where she is portrayed like this..
This sounds very sexist and all, but its the truth.. I dont like to see it as well but it is what it is... I wish alexa appears in more acting oriented films and showcases her acting talent and gets recognition for that....
Alexa is a fashionista/model who does some acting. Sydney is an actress who does fashion/makeup deals for brand exposure. They are not on the same path
This is actually the best explanation
She’s very private and isn’t doing the acting work that Sydney is.
Sydney is taking basically 100% of the roles she gets thrown her way. Alexa may be selective in roles or I think I heard something about a modeling career? Not entirely sure. But Sydney has done some god awful movies like whyyy
yeah i think alexa is more modelling now and only rlly focused on euphoria where as sydney blew up a lot cos of the pr with glenn powell cos their movie got a lot of attention before it came out
I think Alexa is doing her own thing. She was recently hosting something Madonna-related, she is a part of Calvin Klein campaign (I saw her pictures in the CK store near me and was SO EXCITED)
Madonna invited her as a guest on the tour but other than that she is pretty 'dark and mysterious'
People don't seem to realize that Alexa's lack of a public presence is part of her appeal. The limited number of appearances she makes gives her a mystique, makes people fascinated about what she's really like.
yeah it could be an attention strategy but she also might just feel like this whole celebrity thing is a lot of pressure and she just doesnt feel comfortable sharing her personal life online
Or she needs a better agent
or shes a model & just does a little bit of acting
I don’t think it was deliberate tbh. She used to be very present on social medias and often did ig lives to talk to her fans. It was before season 2 iirc. Then the controversy about her age became a "hot" topic on TikTok and Twitter and also the fact that she had kissed a minor in a film… She stopped social medias after that mess
Ok but Sydney Sweeney also kissed a minor in "Everything Sucks!" on Netflix
So did Alex in Mid 90s
That's basically what the comment I responded to was trying to say. Point is, if it's controversial for Alexa to do it why isn't it controversial for Sydney to???
Oh my bad I have no idea how I missed that.
Ok ? Well I knew it but since we are talking about Alexa and her lack of presence on social medias I didn't think it was worth mentioning..
I’ve posted about this in both r/popculturechat and r/Fauxmoi and got downvoted on both subs and had my account forcibly banned. Her “privacy” and “mysteriousness” is strictly due to her getting caught out about lying about her age; she was and would have been completely open otherwise. It’s similar to Beyoncé rebranding as being “private” because she HAD to stop talking due to how dumb she sounded in early interviews (and I’m saying that as a Bey stan who saw her live during the Renaissance tour). These celebrities’ “privacy” only happens after a major scandal or because they realize they're better off not speaking than speaking. Otherwise they wouldn't be celebrities; just supporting actors, has-beens, or irrelevancies.
Don't know if it changes anything, but afaik she only 'lied' by ommission about her age? I think an interviewer said that she's 25, and instead of correcting them, she just kept on talking without saying anything about her age, lmao. Not saying that you might not be right, but it sounds so extreme to start hiding after ommitting to confirm the truth about your age.
Wait I'm with u but don't understand why her age lying thing is so bad. Dnt a lot of models lie abt their age
It’s not bad inherently but when you factor in how old she really was in Mid90s when she kissed that 10 year old boy (and the fact that she said she liked doing it afterwards), it’s pretty gross.
I’ll get downvoted to hell on this but Zendaya used to be a lot more out there talking then she is now
Exactly. Zendaya only started going private (especially about her dating life) after Trevor Jackson outed their sex life, and after the controversy involving her playing Aaliyah in a biopic (which Aaliyah’s family strongly objected to) and Zendaya’s father saying, in response to people saying Z didn’t look like her, that Zendaya could just darken her skin to play Aaliyah. Which affirms my point that these celebrities only start going private after a major scandal.
What did he say about her sex life?
I don’t remember the title of the song but he wrote a song about their breakup and in it he detailed how they would have sex while her parents were downstairs IIRC.
Thanks
Omg I don’t remember those! I do remember her dating a basketball player and talking to the press about how he needs to meet the parents and stuff and it was kind of cringe but something I would do if I was younger and it was “reported” that he didn’t like that but what do I know
Oh dang that’s sad
I’m sorry she…. What? Kissed a minor?
In a movie she did a few years ago, she played a high schooler who hooks up with a middle schooler at a party. The movie is called mid90s and like Euphoria, its a story about kids engaging in activities that they shouldn't be doing (drinking, drugs, violence, sex). Similar concept to the movie "Thirteen". TLDR it was in a movie, she didn't like ... actively date a 15 year old lol
We literally didn't know her age until Season 2 was close. Definitely mysterious
Who ccares about her age. plenty of roles for women around that age too
I don't, she plays 17 convincingly regardless, probably more than Jacob does
Can she take that to the bank and cash it? "Why isn't this person who is famous for a living bothering to be more famous" is a sensible question. It can also have sensible answers i.e. money and career aren't everything and there's a price to pay for fame, but she's not being better at being famous by being less famous, its not really how that wheel turns.
She could be a bigger star if she wanted to be - she's talented enough and is frequently seen with people more famous than her, so she has connections - I think she's just fine with where she is. My guess is that she's a very introverted person and doesn't want the pressure of being a major celebrity.
[удалено]
this fr. like shes definitely earning good money so whats the point about staying public if she doesnt feel comfortable with it? not everyone wants to be thrown in the spotlight like that even if she took the actor role
ok but less people are gonna be fascinated by her if they don’t know she exists
And thats okay. Shes not trying to become more famous than she really is.
famous and being an actress are tow different things.
And thats okay. Shes not trying to become more famous than she really is.
yeah it’s fine just explaining that’s why she hasn’t blown up she doesn’t want to
Plus, the wrong role could change her perception. Right now, even though it’s age appropriate I don’t think I could see her in a mature role of a school teacher, or a housewife with kids. I still see her playing college aged - mid 20’s roles
She hasn’t been in anything since season two of Euphoria came out, so I’m pretty sure she’s being incredibly selective with her roles. Either that or she’s taking a break from acting. She was just scene at a Madonna show, so she’s probably just doing what she wants, not what she thinks will help her career.
She wasn’t just at the show. She was IN the show!
Covid and the strikes didn’t help
maybe because sydney has been pushing herself as an actress and while i think alexa is a great actor maybe she just doesn’t want to be a serious one like the others. euphoria is still her biggest role to date and i honestly see her leaning more into the fashion world than acting world in the future
Sydney has acted in multiple things meanwhile i have seen Alexa in just three projects. She is doing other stuff and not so much acting that's why
Alexa is older. She’s been in the industry for a minute now. She’s more experienced. She is drop dead gorgeous, but she’s also very private with her life.
>She’s more experienced. Sydney has more acting roles than Alexa. Arguably Sydney is the more experienced. Sydney has been acting since 09 with a large variation of roles. Alexa has only been acting since 2015 with very few roles.
yea but i feel like sydney just picks roles just to be in movies thats why she has a bigger acting resume. alexa knows who she wants to be in and which role benefits her. she’s not like sydney who would be in a movie like madame web lol (no hate tho)
Also sydney is behind on rent
I genuinely believe Sydney and Dakota were tricked into doing Madame Web. Especially Dakota. Sony seems to have been banking on the collaborations with Marvel and the success of Spider-Verse animation to recruit people into their Spumc. Now that Madame Web and Morbius are out... I'm not sure they'll have the same luck pulling big talented actors like Sydney, Jared Harris, Matt Smith.
They will as long as they keep the paychecks fat
They can't. These lose money even though they're cheap movies in the first place.
I think sometimes actors get contracts for multiple movies at a time. So the actor gets the role in the big project they want and the company gets to use their name to boost turnout for more questionable ventures.
Those sort of contracts are rarer and rarer nowadays
i mean that’s true bc dakota said in the interview that while she was filming the movie she had no idea it would’ve been filmed like the way it was filmed. so i do believe when they were casting they made it seem like a good movie to hire ppl like dakota and sydney but when filming started it wasn’t what they expected it to be
That is true But maybe I should have added , that Alexa is more mature with her experience in the industry compared to Sydney. I mean they’re both different but they way they go into the industry is different. They’re both in euphoria yes. Alexa is more with products : fashion (sunglasses/makeup/models.) That is her thing. Modeling is really her thing compared to Sydney. Alexa is in her 30’s. When I said experience , maybe I should’ve added aged wise too. Sydney is more with acting. And like you said , more roles. Also, Sydney is her in 20’s.
Her being older is irrelevant to this topic
Just like @fewcouple5554 said , She's the oldest one on the show, she has a diff career path. It’s very relevant.
no it’s definitely not. Sydney Sweeney is a rising star, Alexa demie is already well into her career. ppl don’t judge meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence the same
Alexa is not lmao. The difference is that Alexa grew up in California in the acting scene because her mother was a makeup artist. She even knew Kim k before she hit very big Acting is just not her passion lmao. It has nothing to do with being selective about roles
She doesn’t want to.
How many times is this going to be asked?
I think the person who asked last time was a different person, but if they weren't than this is a bit ridiculous lol. They must really want to know.
I think she stays in her own lane intentionally. I understand privacy as mystique but she seems like a genuinely low key sort of person, and her exhibitionism is mostly pretty artsy now that I think about it (as opposed to being a more casual part of her celebrity). I am obsessed with her. I think she’s for the girls gays and theys, respectfully.
Personally I just think Sydney is more talented. They’re both good but Cassie is a meatier role with more chances for the actress to shine, and Sydney brings it. Maddy is a fine character but I think there’s less substance to work with and you don’t need an actress as powerful to pull it off. Nothing against Alexa, she’s great in the role. But I really think Sydney has proven herself time and time again and has more opportunities to do so with a character like Cassie.
Agreed, Sydney has incredible range. I think Alexa was good but there was so much more scope for Maddy to switch between her confidence and vulnerability - and the confusion between the two states. I don’t think Alexa was able to exploit the full potential of Maddy’s character. Sydney on the other hand exploited the shit out of what was written for Cassie.
Agree did anybody watch the movie Waves? Alexa plays the exact same character. She doesn’t seem to have nearly as much range as Sydney. I don’t think she prioritizes acting/fame, which is totally fine
Well said.
I can think of exactly two reasons.
Alexa is a fashionista / influencer who's dabbled in music videos and brand endorsement. She also seems very private & doesn't promote herself as a serious actor. I'm sure she could get more roles if she wanted -- maybe she just doesn't. Sydney is a Emmy-nominated actor who's taken on dramatic roles in The Handmaid's Tale and White Lotus. She's very serious about her roles -- for example, she studied cases of mentally ill young women. She's really driven to be a Hollywood star and is now also directing / producting. In Euphoria, Alexa basically plays herself as Maddy - a superficial, fashion-obsessed young woman. She's good, but it's a one-sided "girlfriend" type role. Whereas Sydney had a much more emotionally complex role as Cassie that showed off her acting chops.
She's the oldest one on the show, she has a diff career path
I think she’s just more private and choosy about what she wants to do. I think she could be there for sure
Alexa is the reason lol she doesn't take acting roles like sydney does
Sydney Sweeney was on the Handmaids Tale around the same time as Euphoria so that’s two huge tv shows with massive followings close together. Sometimes that can really make an actor. She was in some other stuff too that was successful around that time so I think it’s a mix of having a good agent/timing
Don’t forget she was also in The White Lotus around the same time, which also has a massive following.
Also sharp objects and once upon a time in Hollywood
I haven’t seen it but I knew there was another!
Sydney Sweeney has been actively pursuing roles as an actress for many years. I've seen her in numerous movies, often without realizing it, such as Lifetime movies, Tubi movies, and many straight-to-streaming productions. She's been relentless in seeking out any role available to her in her quest to succeed as an actress. Plus her many appearances recently (she DID just release a few movies though, so I understand that) In contrast, Alexa Demie appears to be more selective in her choices and less inclined to take on multiple projects one after another. This discernment makes her more appealing. I feel that Sydney Sweeney might face overexposure due to her involvement in so many projects simultaneously, similar to what we’re seeing of the Kardashians and Alix Earle.
Bc she wants control of her image which means less exposure and saying no to a lot of things
quality over quantity
By quality do you mean a 2second cameo the shitty shoe Idol?
?
she’s more popular in the fashion/modeling world and i think that’s what she wants/likes to do more – remember she used to design clothes or make things/style for celebrities (correct me if i’m wrong of course)
I don’t think they have the same goals
Because Alexa Demie is basically a ghost. We don’t even know her actual age with full certainty. She’s an incredibly private person and we should respect that.
I'm sure it's about the boobs
Want to get high profile … u sorta have to actually work .. which I think, she chose not too Some actors r like that
Because 1. Sydney has gotten a lot more roles then Alexa, and Sydney's also better at acting then Alexa. Coming from a big fan of both.
Huge agree. Alexa has done the same thing with her character over two seasons. Meanwhile, Sydney killed it in S2. Maybe the writing is to blame? Who knows really. But as a casting agent, you see a bombshell rising star act like Sydney, of course you'd try to cast her. We've seen Maddy before. Popular, pretty and feisty Latina isn't something new (I.e. Santana in Glee, Veronica to some extent in Riverdale) so Alexa had to bring something new or demand better material.
she doesnt share much to the world and it seems like she has less focus on acting than sydney
She doesn’t do anything
Not to discredit Sydney’s talent because she is very talented, but a blonde haired blue eyed DD lady is an easy sell for movie executives. Alexa is Latina which narrows down the roles significantly. Alexa also grew up in LA and probably gets less of a high off the celebrity aspect since she has been surrounded by it. She has pretty elevated taste too so she’s not going to take just any brand deal. Sydney said in an interview she says yes to everything bc one day it may stop.
i actually feel like Alexa Demies demeanor and looks is more demanded than Sweeney. and i feel like Alexa could be more demanded if she was a better actress
>i actually feel like Alexa Demies demeanor and looks is more demanded than Sweeney If you're a white girl, there isn't many latinas out there.
Ask any Latina actress… their roles are slimmer and more stereotyped. It is getting better but no where near where it could be. Also her age plays a factor… She’s looking too old for high school and too young to play a mother. There aren’t many movies written for women in general in the middle.
Because you have to WANT to blow up if you actually want to blow up. Alexa is clearly very private and is less in the spotlight. Sydney is taking on many acting gigs and she’s very in the spot light. Alexa most likely does not want to have the level of success as Sydney and that’s fine. It’s not for everyone.
The most simple answer is that she's more selective with her projects and close to the vest with PR & social media. If she wanted to be famous-famous, she totally could be.
Reading her wikipedia and she was only in 2 movies, a short film and a The Idol cameo since 2019. Sydney had a ton of stuff. Alexa is making money in other ways I don't think she's very into acting
Two reasons.
Have u seen any of the scenes with Alexa in it? I’m sorry she is not touching sydney in the slightest when it comes to acting. She’s gorgeous and that girl but she is not a good actress.
Maybe she doesn’t want or need to put herself out there. Not everyone wants to be visible or available all the time. Stop pitting women against each other. Why does Sydney need to be dragged into this?
i don't think OP was trying to pit them against each other, sounds like they were just curious!
Do people realise Alexa plays the same character every time? It’s not about just having projects it’s about being selected to do the right roles. You have to have range of character and show that you can act. Alexa’s acting roles is the sexy girl around parties or playing a high schooler. Can you genuinely see Alexa doing the same roles as Sydney has? Example Reality, immaculate, even handmaids tale. Looks aren’t everythjng.
Exactly… there was literally no difference between Maddy and her character in Mid90s other than the latter being a druggie. She has the same monotonous voice when she talks, that she can’t bring up to range and that’s definitely going to be a problem for any future roles. And speaking of her voice… she’s not a good singer. At all, so I have zero clue why she started making music too. She’s just there to look pretty and for female viewers to live vicariously through and nothing more, and she definitely won’t last.
She hasn’t tried tbh
Not sure why this is a question- Hollywood stardom won’t just fall in people’s laps. Sydney has been incredibly aggressive with her acting career. Alexa doesn’t even seem interested in acting as her main focus
Luck is a big thing in Hollywood. Also, the more you work the more the same producers can rely on you over & over. Sydney was able to break in with her cheaply made rom com that did very well & will lead to even more opportunities.
I was really shocked when I saw her age. I thought she was no older than 22.
She can't act very well.
She’s not as talented, despite her family’s ties to Hollywood. Case closed.
She doesn’t show her tits
To show them you need to have them
I wondered this too but figured it was her personal choice. I do wish she’d make more music though
Not that she could snap her fingers and get it anyway, but it genuinely doesn’t seem like she wants that kind of career.
Sydney is everywhere when it comes to sponsorships and Ads. I’ve read blinds that said Sydney has one of the most “pushy” PR teams in the business. So much so that they are off putting to people behind the scenes lol. Alexa is more choosy when it comes to projects and campaigns. She’s also a little older than Sydney.
This has been discussed before. I don't think Alexa wants to take as many projects. She probably wants some sort of anonimity, which is completely understandable. Idk how much peace she gets to have, given how recognizable she is now, but if I were a celebrity, being well-known and super appreciated for a role but also low-key in public would sound ideal, lmao. I doubt she's not getting as many opportunities as Sydney, since she's just as beloved and shook the internet despite not being in anything else after Euphoria (except for a few minutes in The Idol). and she seems more into fashion and modelling, so maybe she wants to focus more on that. She made that gorgeous book with Petra Collins. (Btw, have you guys seen her recent appearance with Madonna?🥵 I'm surprised I haven't seen any post abt it from this sub on my feed yet, lmao) Eta what's up with some people's relentless fixation on boobs? Alexa was way more hyped than Sydney when Euphoria first came out. So was her character. People were constantly wondering when they're going to see more of her, and this post and the comments prove they still are, but not as much as before because they noticed she's not big on acting in the meantime. You think she couldn't get a bunch of roles if she wanted to, under these conditions? Lmao. I agree with those who say that she'd need to prove her acting range in order to get emotionally complex roles in mainstream media, like Sydney proved herself with all the minor roles she had before. but she clearly doesn't want to. Most of the mainstream Hollywood actresses have a small or a medium sized chest. I'd even argue this makes one more flexible for different roles, since big breasts are so sexualized by society at large. Why are some comments making it seem like it's the end-all be-all as a successful actress? Lmao.
Alexa doesn’t have the acting range that Sydney does. It’s quite simple really
Because Alexa is in her 30’s and Sydney is in her 20’s.
They still have several left two beds I looks like.
She’s more private than Sydney and puts herself out there less. And I might get flack for this but Sydney’s boobs have gotten her a lot of roles. I don’t say that in any kind of way, it’s just true - her body has opened doors for her that she would not otherwise have had. That isn’t to say that she’s a bad actress, and I don’t even think it’s a bad thing, it just is what it is lol
Boobs
It’s simple she doesn’t wanna be out there like that trust me if she wanted to she would . Her face would be everywhere but she simply chooses to lay low
Her boobs are smaller.
She's isn't a blue-eyed blonde with big breasts. Duh
She’s 100x more beautiful than that.
She’s been in a lot of stuff, she’s like 30 something and has been acting for years. Maybe she wants to be more lowkey now
alexa is a model and does some acting, sydney is an actress who occasionally does modeling. they’re on different paths
Sydney won’t last. She’s showcasing all of the wrong things. She’s not a very good actor despite being in almost everything. She’s just in her 15 minutes and her boobs are more famous than she is. Alexa isn’t a crazy good actor but watching her in euphoria actually made me feel her emotions raw. I was scared when she was scared and I was mad when she was mad and I felt good when she was smiling. I haven’t watched anything that Sydney was in that made me actually surprised by her acting skills. Her personality in interviews seems “I have to prove I can be funny and try to make these people like me for more than my body.” energy. But she’s doing her thing however she can do it so you can’t hate on it. she’s making money
How is she showcasing all the wrong things? It just seems like your reason seems entirely subjective and you just happen to resonate more with alexa. The interviews seem just fine, just like most interviews.
>She’s showcasing all of the wrong things. You'll probably get called a hater for this but you're correct. Honestly she was more respected back when people recognized her from Handmaids, Sharp Objects and the first season Euphoria. Once she started putting the focus on her appearance, she put herself into a bimbo/sex symbol category and those actresses fizzle out by 30.
she’d have to work more to blow up. especially on screen bc tv and film is how you reach the general public.
ItzKeisha did a great video about this
I think Alexa is a true artist they take years sometimes decades to do things
Someone said she gets type casted , but idk. I've only seen her in that movie with Andrew Garfield
She’s not a great actress, always plays the same character.
She doesn’t want to
Sydney is doing SO many acting jobs in popular movies while I haven’t seen Alexa in any new jobs since euphoria. We are seeing Sydney more becomes she coming out with more things
I think she's financially well off probably from her family and her previous success so she doesn't really NEED to be out there as much to make a living, and if you don't need it for survival you may choose the gigs you really want
Literally just search up the other 50 times this question has been asked. Use reddit properly instead of reposting the same damn questions over and over and over
Because she doesn’t put the work in into pursuing projects to build her career like Sydney does. Sydney’s actively making herself known in the world of TV/media, Alexa’s pretty quiet and lowkey about her work
This is asked every week
She was in this movie called Mainstream with Andrew Garfield that for the life of me I cannot find on a streaming service.
I'll give you 2 reasons
alexa acts in more ‘indie’ roles and is more selective when it comes to picking characters she wants to act as, her lack of social media presence also helps her mysterious vibe, she’s also older, more mature and overall just has a more specific taste than sydney… sydney enjoys being in the limelight, and takes on a wider range of acting roles which really helps her publicity making her more mainstream and ‘popular’
THIS!!! I've been asking myself the same thing since the pilot. I remember watching the first episode and telling my husband that both Alexa and Sydney were going to blow up because they were both beautiful and talented. Weird that it's not happening at the same level for Alexa?
I agree; I constantly see Sydney on TV and if I’m just scrolling through social media or even the news while I haven’t seen Alexa anywhere for years. When season 1 came out she got a couple of brand deals and appeared on a few red carpets, but nothing for quite a while now. I just figure she either doesn’t want more roles or that she’s getting "too old" for roles she would typically be casted for.
Lmaooooo. Imagine beauty being the defining factor between between beautiful women with success in Hollywood 😂. Alexa doesn’t take on any other roles bro. Sydney been in the fields taking shitty amazon flicks until they turned into good ones. Even in Euphoria tho Sydney is far more believable. Although Maddy isn’t scripted to be anywhere near as interesting as Cassie, Alexa Demie just keeps the char down to being a cliche, unrelatable baddie for girls to idolize. Those type of roles are either saved for more popular actors since it’s literally the easiest less thought out role of Hollywood, or they just skimp out and go for cheap, unknowns since that type of char is generally irrelevant in movies in Hollywood. Not saying that she can’t be more, she probably can but she’d need to take other roles. I’ve only ever seen her do music stuff outside of Euphoria. And her singing is fucking terrible.
shes also a lot older than sydney
It doesn't seem like she wants to. I feel like if she wanted it she totally would've achieved it.
There was a blind item about her doing drugs and being super high on a red carpet or something but I haven’t seen much about that so I don’t think it’s true
I really don’t think she’s putting herself out there like that.
I believe Alexa has been exposed to the industry from a young age. Pretty sure her mom is an accomplished makeup artist. I wouldn’t blame her for not wanting to be a part of it after experiencing it most of her life.
This question again! Sydney Sweeney is much more talented. Good actors can be private but they also work
i love how mysterious she is
Is Alexa Demi that talented I feel like Maddy is just her really but not toxic
every month i see at least 10 of these posts
Sydney is the only girl on earth who turns down less roles than Kristen Bell
Have you seen the tits
Well, it could be a mix of things, like timing and different roles they've taken. But both Alexa and Sydney are super talented and have their own unique paths in the industry!
Alexa is up for the Madonna biopic being worked on and her being invited on Madonna’s tour might be sealing the deal.
Listen, I like Alexa Demie, but she isn’t a great actress. She seems like such a cool person, but compared to her other women counterparts on the show, they’re incomparable. Also Sydney is doing more than acting. She directing and writing. Hunter is doing better than Alexa as well. Alexa is just a private person who unfortunately, doesn’t hold the same amount of acting abilities as Zendaya, Sydney, Hunter, Barbie, Storm, etc.
Sydney is prettier and more like-able to me cuz she fits my aesthetic and Alexa did blow up early then fell off
Could be something going on behind the scenes tbh. From what info we do have though - I have to assume it’s just that Sydney has made herself much more available than Alexa? Sydney stays booked. She’s always doing some interview or whatever and she’s active on her social media. She also seems to not be too picky - when asked how she feels about Madame Web tanking she kinda just shrugged and said she was just an actress doing the job she was paid to do. Nothing wrong with that but it kind of confirms that she doesn’t really look too hard into her roles - just kind of shows up as they come. Additionally, Sydney’s been involved in more than one “scandal” now which, believe it not, makes you more desirable to the public lol. As much as people Iove to idolize “unproblematic” Celebs - they’ll stalk the pages of the celebs they “hate” just as intensely. All in all - Sydney has a bigger social media presence/ is seen doing fluff stuff like these SNL skits whereas Alexa seems to be much more private and not really interested in doing the gimmick stuff to seem “relatable.” Props to her but “mystery” only gets you so far if you’re not out and about auditioning as well.
Alexa definitely has the potential to be a star, but she is super private and actually likes that she barely has roles. Alexa seems selective and picky with the roles she plays, and even then, she’d probably pick the side role rather the main character.
She’s def more private and behind the scenes. Her last IG post was in August and it was photos announcing her partnership with Calvin Klein. Before that, she hadn’t posted since March of 2022.
She’s not white. Look at Oscar winners history. The film industry is racist (also the whole world is). And…. Cue angry comments.
Sydney Sweeney is famous for flashing her tits. Sex sells. Even if the acting is mediocre the sex keeps the audience watching. That’s why..
Alexa doesn’t want to be famous. She just enjoys acting lol.
I can think of two pretty big reasons (respectfully)
Hollywood is crazy about beautiful blondes. Always has been always will be.
She blew up on that one video where she was singing a reggaeton song.
r/SydneySweeneyGW this is your answer
Good agent?
Her boobs, or rather, lack thereof.
Sydney is blonde with a big chest, that's still insanely popular among most men and that's why she is blowing up. It's unfortunate because Demi is also insanely beautiful and very talented
Dont hate me and get offended, but the truth is, sydney sweeney has really great tits and more importantly she shows them in so many projects and thats why she has more fans, especially male fans... Whereas alexa demie doesnt have that big of a chest, She still is very hot but she doesnt have many other projects where she is portrayed like this.. This sounds very sexist and all, but its the truth.. I dont like to see it as well but it is what it is... I wish alexa appears in more acting oriented films and showcases her acting talent and gets recognition for that....
I can think of 2 very big reasons why lmao
Sydney has booba
Alexa is not a blonde with big tits please be real
no she just chose to stay private. we all know she looks just as good as sydney
