Sydney Sweeney was encouraged to get Botox at the age of 16.

The 28-year-old actress has become one of the most talked-about women in the world in recent years, but Sydney was encouraged to change her appearance during her teens.

She told Variety: "I have very strong eyebrow muscles. And I had someone tell me to fix my face or else I'm not going to make it. I should get Botox. I was 16! Or I'm in a casting and I'm reading my scene and the casting director is eating a bag of chips, and I'm like, 'You're not paying attention at all.'"

Sydney also explained that she enjoys playing complicated characters.

She said: "I tend to gravitate towards characters that are stereotypically unlikable, and I like to challenge an audience to have empathy for that person."

Sydney starred in season one of The White Lotus, and Mike White - the show's writer and creator - has confessed to being wowed by the actress during her first audition.

He shared: "There was just something very unaffected by her. She was very likeable. And I thought that that would be helpful because the part is so unlikable on the page.

"Then in editing, you realise she just pops on-screen. She's obviously lovely in person and photogenic. But my eyes kept going to her, no matter who's in the scene with her. That's natural screen magnetism that is hard to quantify. She just has that.

"I don't know what makes somebody a star, but there is something about her that just is."

Meanwhile, Hollywood director Paul Feig is also full of praise for Sydney, observing that the blonde beauty is "very savvy".

He explained: "She's probably one of the most confident people I've ever met in my life -- in a good way.

"She's very savvy. 'Savvy' sounds calculated. With her, she's just very smart about publicity, about social media, about what people are looking for on social media. As we're getting ready to promote, we're always like, 'Oh, let's do this. This is the hot trend on TikTok right now.' And she's like, 'No, that was last month. Here's the hot trend.'"
