During her SNL hosting debut in March this year, Sydney appeared as a Hooters server in one of the sketches, where her character rakes in tips due to her physical appearance despite being an incompetent waitress.
The young star also joked in her monologue about coming up with a five-year plan to convince her parents about pursuing a career in Hollywood. And if that failed, she told the audience that her âplan Bâ was to âshow boobs.â

In one sketch, the actress also had to make out with Bowen, who shared in the recent podcast that he had a conversation with her about it ahead of shooting to make sure she was comfortable with it.
âBowen, Iâm on Euphoria,â he recalled her words.
âShe came in and was like, âPlease, everyone, make jokes about my boobs,’â Bowen said in a candid conversation on the Fly on the Wall podcast
âBut then she also said, âYouâre living every gay manâs dream by âhaving sexâ with me,ââ he added during the podcast interview.
“She knows that she is so raw sexual power that anyone would be thrilled to simulate sex with her,” he continued. “Itâs so crazy.”
While speaking to GQ, Sydney herself said she wanted to use her SNL appearance to joke about the online chatter surrounding her image.
During her monologue, Sydney joked that if her Hollywood career didn’t pan out, her plan B was to “show boobs”
âThere’s so many people out there who are like, âOh, she’s famous because she showed her boobs,’â she said.
âYou just learn the system,â she went on to say. âYou can try and fight it but they just fight back. Even if you stand up for yourself, people are going to attack you for standing up for yourself.â
