An unnamed ilxor messaged me when we were both struggling to continue with ADadd-starring Mayfair Witches to tell me there was a scene where she was running in a tank top. The show was still very bad but they knew who they were appealing to (perverts like us).

The funny thing is that when PK posted that photo earlier I was like, “ok, that’s Sweeney,” but it was actually Aubrey Plaza, who I am mildly more familiar with, but honestly it could be either one of them or anyone else.
(We could also be having this discussion - which is fun, look, I accepted that I’m getting old ages ago - about a young male cis actor)

I brought up the dude from the romantic comedy that Sweeny was in! I have no idea who that dude is or where he suddenly manifested from, but I see his dumb handsome face everywhere.

(xpost) wtf the photo above is not aubrey plaza if we are talking about that photo of a blonde woman (who is also not sydney sweeney). It is apparently Sunny Sweeney, and I don't know who that is.

Glen Powell was maybe the best part of Everybody Wants Some!!*, played John Glenn in Hidden Figures, and is bringing the romcom back...he's basically the new McConaughey!
*Seems to have a good relationship with Linklater: he was also in Apollo 10 1/2 and co-wrote & stars in his next one, coming out in June.

Daddario really has not been in very many good things, True Detective and White Lotus aside, but she does have very distinctive eyes.

Google Trends shows more search traffic for Daddario until Season 2 of Euphoria premiered in early 2022, at which point Sweeney overtook her.

def did not realize Sweeney was famous, and did not get the impression from the Stones video that it starred a famous person. Unlike the Kristen Stewart video, which seemed to be written for Kristen Stewart or at least directed by someone with a sense of her persona.
― Lily Dale, Monday, 4 March 2024 16:49 (one month ago) link
from what I remember, one of the main things that helped boost Sydney Sweeney's profile was toxic shit on instagram and elsewhere where people were going on and on about her being ugly during the first season of Euphoria; I think she even posted a weepy video about it. There was also a pile on where people accused her of being a Trump supporter because there were some pictures of a family party where her grandfather was wearing a red hat. I don't know that it was ever confirmed that it was a MAGA hat.
― I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Monday, 4 March 2024 16:53 (one month ago) link
Supposedly it was a red novelty hat worn by her mom that said “Make Sixty Great Again." Perhaps it was misinterpreted because there was someone also pictured in the background wearing a Blue Lives Matter shirt, and this was a "hoedown" themed party in Idaho. #context
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 4 March 2024 16:59 (one month ago) link
yeah I mean her family probably sucks, no surprise there. but also, lots of people's families suck. anyway my overriding point in even starting this discussion was that instagram commenters are some of the worst people in the world.

The most surprising thing in this run of posts is that anyone is like 'oh yeah, right, the girl from that Rolling Stones video'. The fact that there's a contemporary Rolling Stones video that people are aware of and presumably went out of their way to watch makes me feel more out of touch than anything else under discussion.

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Monday, 4 March 2024 17:25 (one month ago) link
I don't think I have ever seen it, but I knew she was in it because I saw some promotion that was like, "the new rolling Stones video, featuring her!" And she was on the hood of a car? Or working at a car wash or something? Or on a billboard?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 4 March 2024 17:28 (one month ago) link
X-post - Yes! I was so confused when ppl were talking about that video as if that's why she's famous.
