Regarded as one of the biggest current Hollywood heartthrobs-cum-hotshots, she is landing one role after the other, gradually solidifying her position in the entertainment industry through the same.
That being said, the most recent role she has reportedly landed is from the very same movie that will next bring Johnny Depp back onscreen:Day Drinker. But instead of gaining commendation from fans for such a feat, Sweeney has become the center of tremendous backlash for saying yes to the film, thanks to the recent controversies surrounding the 60-year-old actor.

Why? Well, not for the genre, that’s for sure, considering how she absolutely nails it in thriller projects. Instead, these sudden controversies have erupted because of the person whom she has allegedly agreed to take on as her next co-star, who is none other thanJohnny Depp. However, Sydney Sweeney’s team has denied the rumor.
While theEdward Scissorhandsactor had already cleared off the charges alleged against him by ex-wifeAmber Heardthrough the defamation trial he filed and won, recent revelations from one of his co-stars have further pushed him back into that very ditch of controversies.

Recently, Lola Glaudini, who starred alongside Depp in the 2001 crime thrillerBlow, alleged her co-star of having“accosted her”, showered profanities on her, and even told her to“shut up”for something that wasn’t even her fault, as she shared on thePowerful Truth Angelspodcast.
But even though thePirates of the Caribbeanalum reiterated through his rep that he“always prioritizes good working relationships with cast and crew and this recounting differs greatly from the recollection of other members on set at the time”(viaPeople), some netizens are just not taking it.

While it is true that Sweeney would continue to face such backlash as long as netizens continue to believe all these allegations against Depp by Glaudia and Heard, it isalso truethat Sweeney is mostly “unfazed” by all the backlash, as per the statement she shared with theLos Angeles Times.
However, as clarified by Sweeney’s team, the reports aren’t true. If the rumor was indeed true, then these two epic actors of Hollywood would most certainly go forward with it and presumably deliver the performance of a lifetime throughDay Drinker.
