Sydney Sweeney is praised for her Botox-free forehead and branded an 'endangered species among actresses' as reaction to her 'iconic' Euphoria line goes viral

Sydney Sweeney has been praised for her Botox-free forehead - as reaction to her 'iconic' Euphoria line has gone viral.

The actress, 28, plays Cassie in the HBO series which has just returned for its third series, with last Sunday's episode documenting her wedding to partner Nate (Jacob Elordi.

After one scene from the episode went viral, many have branded her an 'endangered species among actresses' for her 'natural' look as her forehead clearly shows the animation on her face. 

The scene in question sees one of Nate's friend's wives Heather - played by Jessica Blair Herman, 39, - confronting Cassie about how Nate has used her and her husband for their money so he could help pay off his $550,000 debt. 

Referencing their family's financial loss, a taut-faced Heather yells at her as her features don't move: 'We invested out kids' college funds!'

Cassie then pauses for a moment as her face scrunches up and then deadpan replies: 'What does that have to do with me...?'

As she speaks you can clearly see the natural lines on her forehead in contrast to Heather.

Viewers were quick to react to the difference, penning on X: 'the difference here is striking. actresses without botox are quickly becoming an endangered species.',

'fillers are actually so crazy bc with sydney's acting you can literally see that cassie doesn't care in her facial expressions but the other lady's face doesn't move at all like if you watched without sound you wouldn't know she was mad.',

'as much as I don't like sydney, this five second clip perfectly exemplifies how having a frozen forehead can rly affect your performance lmao.',

'one thing sydney did right…not injecting botox on her forehead.',

'I will give props to Sydney for having a face that actually moves though. Forehead wrinkles?? In 2026?? Groundbreaking!'

It comes as Sydney and Jacob posed covered in blood and enjoyed a very saucy first wedding dance in behind-the-scenes images from the show this week. 

Viewers saw bridezilla Cassie marry Nate this week in some of the show's most 'unhinged' moments to date. 

During the episode, a huge row broke out when Cassie discovered her new construction boss husband had landed himself $550,000 in debt.

Having bowed down to Cassie's demands to spend $50k on wedding flowers else she would post pictures on OnlyFans, Nate's debts came to light post-ceremony. 

And now, Jacob and Sydney, both 28, have shared unseen moments from filming including an image of themselves sitting in their wedding finery with blood above their top lip. 

There's also a still from Jacob and Sydney's racy first dance scenes, as well as a picture of the pair sitting on the top table at the wedding taken during a filming break.

Further images show Jacob taking photos of the wedding scene on his camera and shading himself from the sun under an umbrella.  

After Nate's financial dire straits came to light during the latest episode, Cassie roared at him: 'I don't want to be poor', during their disastrous before they patched things up with a kiss. 

But all was not well for long and the couple returned home to their mansion where Nate's loan shark and his henchmen were lying in wait for them. 

A bust-up ensued and Cassie was left with a bloody nose. Nate was subjected to a horrific attack which saw him being beaten until his face was covered in blood. 

Paying no attention to her husband whilst he was being tortured, Cassie instead lamented the blood spatter on her wedding dress and wailed: 'This is so unfair!

'It was supposed to be the best day of my life!'

Worse still, Nate had his toe cut off with pliers in horrific scenes and blood shoots out onto a yellow carpet shortly before the episode came to a close. 

Viewers have been left particularly disturbed by series three of the HBO show, which has had a heavy focus on sex work and fetish roleplay and a storyline about Cassie turning to OnlyFans.

Episode three didn't focus on Cassie's racy content but still leaned into fetish scenes  at the start of the episode, when it was revealed that Jules (Hunter Schafer) had dropped out of art school and was earning a living as a sugar baby. 

Unsettling scenes showed Jules having her tight-clad legs licked before stripping to her underwear and being wrapped head to toe in cling film as she acted out her sugar daddy's fetishes. 

So far, the latest season of Euphoria has failed to live up to its predecessors. 

Ahead of its premiere, the third season was torched with early reviews, with the show being labelled as an 'unhinged disaster' yet 'pretty uneventful.'

They wrote: 'And the emmy for best actress goes to: SYDNEY SWEENEY #euphoria'; 'ngl tho, I give it to Sydney for her unhinged + emotive acting in this episode.'

'It's pretty safe to say that Sydney Sweeney outacted the other characters in the 3rd episode of Euphoria! The mess has just begun!' 

'Everyone in Euphoria is acting in the sense they couldn't get out of that contract except for sydney sweeney she seems excited which's worse', they mused.
