The Euphoria star revealed to the outlet that she was particularly targeted for her "very strong eyebrow muscles."

"I had someone tell me to fix my face or else I’m not going to make it. I should get Botox. I was 16!" Sydney recalled.

The Emmy-nominated actress went on to say, "Or I’m in a casting and I’m reading my scene and the casting director is eating a bag of chips, and I’m like, ‘You’re not paying attention at all.’”

Sydney further commented if she will ever get the job done, “I’ve never gotten anything done. I’m absolutely terrified of needles. No tattoos. Nothing. I’m going to age gracefully.”

Moreover, she also reacted to her older pictures circulating on the internet, noting, "It’s really funny.. I’m like, ‘I’m 12 in that photo. Of course, I’m going to look different. I have makeup on now and I’m 15 years older.' "
