Sydney Sweeney’s rise: Hollywood finally has an old-school movie star on its hands, and it has no idea what to do
It took Sweeney a while to become an overnight sensation. Born in Washington state during the dying days of the last century, she had early roles in series such as Everything Sucks! and The Handmaid’s Tale but really registered as part of thefrom 2019. No show has, in recent years, delivered more stars to the mainstream. Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Hunter Schafer and, from an older generation, the recent Oscar-nominee Colman Domingo all appeared alongside Sweeney in the raunchy teen drama.
The Spectator and the National Post, Conservative publications in, respectively, the UK and Canada, joined Hanania in his dance around the bonfire of woke. The notion that Sweeney herself might be right wing took a knock when, with Immaculate, she was seen to be producing and appearing in an attack on the Catholic Church. Hanania, also author of The Origins of Woke, had the perfect rebuttal. “I think we can reconcile this by classifying Sweeney as a member of the Nietzschean right,” he wrote.
Sweeney is a movie star. It remains to be seen if the studios still know what to do with such a being.
