Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang says that when Sydney Sweeney was getting ready to host earlier this year, she was ready to hear jokes about her appearance.
During her hosting stint on SNL in March, Sweeney, 27, leaned into the incessant chatter when she participated in one skit as a genetically gifted Hooters waitress who rakes in lots of tips despite not being a very good server.
“I always thought that this place was the one place I would feel at home,” Sweeney’s Tina laments in the sketch as she counts her thousands in tips. “I’ve tried to work at other jobs, and I can’t. I worked at an airport — no planes took off. I was a crossing guard; thousands died …,” her character joked.
“Her boobs are small enough to be held in place beneath a plunging halter top with some professional-grade boob tape, which is not a thing most people with truly large breasts can say,” Palus wrote.
Palus continued by asserting that Sweeney’s breasts being smaller than average, writing, “When it comes to the average breast size, the figure that’s thrown around for American women is 34DD, which is a little bit larger than what people speculate Sweeney’s size to be.”
Even if you didn’t read it, Palus’ subhead summed up Slate’s stance: “If anything, they’re kind of average.”
Yang said that Sweeney was aware of the discourse surrounding her looks and wanted to poke fun at how she is perceived when she was hosting the show. “She came in and was like, ‘Please, everyone, make jokes about my boobs,’” he said. “She was practically begging everybody.”
Sweeney might be one of the hottest names in Hollywood, but the new ‘it girl’ found herself the subject of some very unkind remarks in April when a veteran Hollywood producer declared she’s “not pretty” and “can’t act.”
In response, Sweeney fired back at the Hollywood vet calling her remarks “sad.”
