The Euphoria star made an appearance at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris on Wednesday where she was asked what she thought of the company's ability to generate a 3D image based on a portrait of her.

We all know Sydney Sweeney has blonde locks and blue eyes, but that's all she seemed to have in common with the AI-generated image.

Judging by her own reaction to being put on the spot, it seems as though she thought the same thing.


"Aw, I love it," the two-time Emmy nominee said, unconvincingly, as she remained seated in the audience. "It’s amazing you can take an image like this."

There was a small scatter of applause too, which added to the uncomfortable nature of the interaction.

The video went viral on social media, with many flocking to X to leave their opinions on it.

"Look at her face bro she hates it," wrote one user, while another added: "She didn’t like that" alongside a crying-face emoji.

A third commented: "she looks absolutely terrified... it looks like she wants to run out of there."

And this user also pointed out: "THIS LOOKS NOTHING LIKE HER."

I mean they have a point there - it just looks like a cartoon version of a random blonde-haired woman.

This is not the first time Sweeney's looks have been brought to center stage.

Back in April, Sweeney came under fire from veteran Hollywood producer Carol Baum, who criticized her looks and acting ability while at an event in Pleasantville, New York.

The producer claimed that she’s "not pretty" and "can’t act."

"There’s an actress who everybody loves now: Sydney Sweeney. I don’t get Sydney Sweeney. I was watching on the plane Sydney Sweeney’s movie [Anyone But You] because I wanted to watch it," she said at the event.

"I wanted to know who she is and why everybody’s talking about her," she continued, before adding: "I said to my class, ‘Explain this girl to me. She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?’ Nobody had an answer. But then the question was asked, 'Well, if you could get your movie made because she was in it, would you do it?'"

In response, the Immaculate actor hit back in a statement via Variety: "How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman.

"If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach to her students, that’s shameful. To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms Baum’s character," she concluded.

Baum later told TMZ she regrets her comments - as she should!
