In an interview with Variety published Monday, the Christy<\/a> actor spoke about what it was like as she auditioned for both movies and television as a teenager living in rural Idaho<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cI have very strong eyebrow muscles,\u201d she told the publication<\/a> as she proved her point by furrowing her eyebrows. \u201cAnd I had someone tell me to fix my face or else I\u2019m not going to make it. I should get Botox. I was 16!\u201d<\/p>\n The Anyone But You star continued, recalling another audition horror story in which she was reading a scene \u201cand the casting director is eating a bag of chips, and I\u2019m like, \u2018You\u2019re not paying attention at all.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Despite Sweeney\u2019s refusal to get any cosmetic injections, she still managed to gain the attention of The White Lotus creator, Mike White<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was just something very unaffected by her,\u201d White told Variety about what he remembered from Sweeney\u2019s audition for season one of the hit HBO show. <\/p>\n \u201cShe was very likable. And I thought that that would be helpful because the part is so unlikable on the page. Then in editing, you realize she just pops on-screen. She\u2019s obviously lovely in person and photogenic. But my eyes kept going to her, no matter who\u2019s in the scene with her. That\u2019s natural screen magnetism that is hard to quantify. She just has that. I don\u2019t know what makes somebody a star, but there is something about her that just is.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\u2018I](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MixCollage-27-Oct-2025-02-39-PM-7735.jpeg\")
