Sydney Sweeney from "Euphoria" and "White Lotus" says people think acting is glamorous, but for an average star like her, she has to work her butt off. She explained to THR, "If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don't have income to cover that. I don't have someone supporting me, I don't have anyone I can turn to, to pay my bills or call for help… 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."

She said, "If I just acted, I wouldn't be able to afford my life in L.A. I take deals because I have to."
