The rest after the ad
Sydney Sweeney is the rising actress in Hollywood right now. Revealed by the series “Euphoria”, present in seven episodes of “The Handmaid’s Tale” then in the casting of season 1 of “The White Lotus”, she established herself through several scenes as a sex symbol. It is also in the shoes of Kim Novak, one of the most “scandalous” sex symbols in Hollywood, that she soon slips into the role. The filming of this biopic called Scandalous and directed by Colman Domingo has not yet started.
While waiting to see her in the shoes of Kim Novak, Sydney Sweeney will appear in 2026 in the main role of another biopic directed by David Michôd and dedicated to Christy Martin. Famous American boxer in the 90s and 2000s, her husband James Martin was convicted in 2012 for trying to kill her. The 27-year-old actress revealed her transformation for this role through photos published on her Instagram account, driving Internet users crazy.
Sydney Sweeney, one of the highest paid actresses of her generation
While all of Hollywood is fighting for it, it is therefore quite normal that Sydney Sweeney demands a salary commensurate with her success. Something that women still have a hard time doing, whether they are famous or not. But the young actress has learned her lesson about feminism well. Sydney Sweeney therefore managed to negotiate the modest sum of 7.5 million dollars for her next role in the film “The Housemaid”, making her one of the highest paid actresses of her generation.
Zendaya’s jackpot with “Challengers”
According to The Hollywood Reporterfor comparison, the actress reportedly received $2 million for her role in “Anyone But You“, 750,000 dollars for “Madame Web”, 65,000 dollars for “Reality” and 250,000 dollars for “Immaculate”. The prize for the highest paid actress to date would however go to Zendaya, her co-star in the series “Euphoria”. The actress would have received a total of 10 million dollars for starring in and producing the film “Challengers”. Actresses in feminist roles paid what they are worth, at the right time.
