Sydney Sweeney doesn’t associate herself with the nickname “MAGA Barbie.”
The actress spoke candidly about all the controversy surrounding her since her American Eagle Outfitters “Great Jeans” ad dropped last July, with some accusing it of being “Nazi propaganda” that praised her blond hair and blue eyes.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan published Thursday, Sweeney was asked about being labeled “MAGA Barbie” by some on the internet — especially after it was revealed she’s been registered as a Republican since June 2024 — even though she hasn’t directly spoken about her political views.
“I’ve never been here to talk about politics,” she told the magazine. “I’ve always been here to make art, so this is just not a conversation I want to be at the forefront of.”
“And I think because of that, people want to take it even further and use me as their own pawn,” she continued. “But it’s somebody else assigning something to me, and I can’t control that.”
Sweeney insisted she wasn’t a “hateful” person and said there was “no winning” when it comes to addressing politically charged things about herself.
“If I say, ‘That’s not true,’ they’ll come at me like, ‘You’re just saying that to look better,'” she explained.

Exactly. At least she’s a biological woman as far as I know.
Good one.
[[Corrected grammar: “I’ve always been here to make art, so this is just not a conversation I want to be at the forefront of, Asshole.”]]
Proposition “H” will take cars of that, lol.
She has about 10 more years to make as much money as she can before Hollywood kicks her to the curb. THEN we’ll hear her political leanings.
That is absolutely lovely !
Realistically? Probably 5 years. After that? Too old.
Jennifer Lawrence used to be HUGE. But now she's 35. So she is yesterday's news.
Basically she got famous because Weinstein made her his muse in return for screwing him. Now that Weinstein has fallen from grace she's a has been.

That works, too.
Yes. Yes she is...although a bit too heavy (top & bottom) for my tastes.
Perhaps a result of an upcoming movie and has not yet lost the added weight:
"Sydney Sweeney is portraying real-life fighter Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic. To effectively play the part, Sweeney needed to bulk up, and she ultimately put on 30 pounds for the transformative movie role, which has been described as a "female Rocky."?
Holy smokes - where’s Laz?
