Sydney Sweeney is getting candid about her payday in a new cover story with The Hollywood Reporter. In her interview, the “Euphoria” star, who is currently filming Sony’s “Spider-Man” spinoff, “Madame Web”, admits that she hasn’t yet earned enough to take a breather from acting.
“If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don’t have income to cover that,” she says. “I don’t have someone supporting me. They don’t pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you no longer get residuals. The established stars still get paid, but I have to give 5 percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agents, 3 percent or something like that to my business manager. I have to pay my publicist every month and that’s more than my mortgage.”

In the article, Sweeney admits to suffering from panic attacks earlier this summer and being urged by her family to take two weeks of phone-free time at her home in the Pacific Northwest. “I was losing my sh*t,” she says of the breakdown.
The 24-year-old doesn’t stop there, dropping more truth bombs about life inside the so-called glamour of the Hollywood industry.
“It’s built to try to make you backstab people,” she says. “It’s insane. My agent is my best teammate, and I’ll have her forever.” But, she adds, “I see how people are like, ‘We support each other’ — and I’m like, ‘No. You f**king don’t.'”
