Maybe one of these days Sydney Sweeney will get a W again, but it’s not today. Sweeney has been long rumored to be playing Kim Novak in her Euphoria co-star Colman Domingo’s feature directorial debut about the Vertigo star’s relationship with Sammy Davis Jr. (rumored to be played by David Jonsson). What do Sweeney and Novak have in common? Well, uh, they’re both blonde. According to a new interview with Novak in The Times, the similarities more or less end there. “I would never have approved,” Novak said, adding that Sweeney “sticks out so much above the waist,” which is frankly a fun new way to say that someone has big boobs. Though Sweeney’s potential biopic seems to have stalled out, Novak was keen to get a couple more hits in while she could. “Sydney Sweeney looks sexy all the time. She was totally wrong to play me,” Novak explained. Hasn’t 93-year-old legendary film star Kim Novak seen Sydney Sweeney’s jeans ad? Sweeney wears jeans every day! “All I wear are jeans. I’m literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life,” Sweeney insisted. Can someone get that info and maybe a SYRN bra to Kim Novak? Maybe that could turn this whole thing around.
