Fans of `Catty ” talk about Sydney Sweeney abandoning the blonde bomb look

Sydney Sweeney Throws his Hollywood glamor for a new gravelly role and silence the criticism in the process.

The star of “Euphoria” unveiled a dramatic transformation in the first trailer for the $ 50 million survival thriller by Ron Howard “Eden”, which made its debut on Wednesday.

Sydney Sweeney assumes the real role of Margret Wittmer, a young pregnant young colonist who moved to the island of Floreana in the Galápagos archipelago in 1932 with her husband, Heinz (Daniel Brühl), and his stepson, Harry (Jonathan Tittel).

Fans are used to seeing Sweeney in haute couture editorials and glamor of the red carpet, but in “Eden”, it is almost unrecognizable, stripped of makeup, dressed in worn clothes and adapted to the era and depicting a woman who fights against nature, isolation and human conflicts.

The film follows Margret’s painful journey while she gives birth in nature, repels wild animals and fights to protect her family on the remote island, while the united community begins to fracture under tensions and growing paranoia.

But while Sweeney was praised by many for having assumed a complex and little glamorous role, the announcement also rekindled a wave of severe online comments, some deeply personal.

“Of course, she has a beautiful chest, but you really find them as attractive? She is at best 6,” wrote a user. Another commented: “Make your money while you can. These looks will fade, and you do not have the acting capacity to do it without them.”

Others said that his cast was purely aesthetic, “a big budget film by Ron Howard? I understand that Sydney is extremely easy for the eyes, but her acting skills are at best. I wonder if her casting was the idea of ​​HR or used to ensure the project.”

Some criticisms were even more blunt and objective, reducing it to “just breasts” or suggesting that it is only effective “with serious makeup”.

But fans and peers rushed to his defense. “Wow, you’re so pussy. Sydney is beautiful whatever her hair color,” wrote a supporter.

Another added: “Talented and pretty young woman!”

Some have underlined his desire to challenge himself with daring roles and go beyond the characters at the surface. “She proves that she is more than a pretty face, this role shows a real range.”

And Sweeney herself? She does not care to prove anything. Speaking at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, she spoke of the opportunity to work with legendary director Ron Howard.

“It is the dream of each actor to work with Ron. I grew up by loving your films, but able to work with you, I have just learned what you are an incredible human being,” she said during a Q&R. “When Margret came to see me, I was absolutely surprised. She didn’t know what she was performing in – she was a child!

The real Margret Wittmer was going to raise his family on the island of Floreana and later document his experience in the 1959 book “Floreana: A Woman’s Pilgrimage to the Galápagos”. She died in 2000 at the age of 95, leaving a heritage of resilience and survival qualities that Sweeney gives life to “Eden”.

This is not the first time that Sweeney has shaken her signature style for a role.

While turning the next biopic on the legendary boxer Christy Martin, Sweeney abandoned his emblematic blonde locks for a deep and rich brown shade, wearing loops, a major gap of his usual Hollywood look. Change has not gone unnoticed. After Paparazzi took pictures of her on the set last week, Sweeney decided to share a backstage herself.

“Well, the cat came out of the bag thanks to a few taste buds in the bushes,” she joked in her Instagram legend. “Here is a little BTS of my film on which I am working at the moment.”
