Famous Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney has opened up about how she worked her way through the industry, while comparing herself to other actors who made it on the basis of nepotism.
In a recent interview with The sun, the actress noted how difficult it was for her to break into the industry, while many others rose to popularity effortlessly based on their family ties.
“Maybe I should have worked longer to get through the same door they were able to get through. But there is nothing I can do,” she said.
“I had no idea going into this industry how many people have relationships,” she continued, “I started from scratch, and I know how hard it is. Now , I see how someone can just walk through a door, and I’m like, “I’ve been working my swear word for ten years for this”.
The term “nepo baby” refers to a person who enters any industry and has succeeded in their chosen profession with the help of their family connections.
Sweeney’s Euphoria co-star Maude Apatow, the daughter of Hollywood director Judd Apatow and actress Leslie Mann, has previously been tagged with the phrase.
