Kim Novak Doesn't Agree with Sydney Sweeney Playing Biopic: Too Sexy!

JAKARTA - Actress Kim Novak talks about the news of her biopic film to be played by actress Sydney Sweeney. She feels uncomfortable if the actress plays her in the film Scandalous!

Novak even emphasized that the actress's selection was very wrong because it did not suit him. The film Scandalous! will tell the story of the relationship between Kim Novak and Sammy Davis Jr. in the 1950s.

"I would not agree," Kim Novak said, quoting The Times.

Furthermore, the 83-year-old actress was worried that later the audience would focus on the sexual side rather than her relationship with the late musician. Novak explained this was related to Sydney Sweeney who looked too sexy.

"It's impossible for this not to look like a sexual relationship because Sydney Sweeney looks sexy every time. She is very unsuitable to play me," explained Novak.

Sydney Sweeney's side did not respond to Kim Novak's statement. Previously, Sweeney revealed her pride in playing Kim Novak.

"I'm honored to bring Kim to life. I mean, she's an amazing actress," Sydney Sweeney told People.

"I think the story is so relevant today as she deals with Hollywood with her relationships and her personal life and how she manages her image. And I think, I can connect in a lot of ways," he said.

Scandalous! will be directed by actor Colman Domingo who marks his directorial debut. Domingo and Sweeney have also starred in the series Euphoria.

In addition to Sydney Sweeney, Kim Novak also responded when the biopic was made by Domingo. He thought the film only focused on the sexual side of the two.

"I think the relationship is not a scandal. He is someone I really care about. We have a lot in common, especially accepting who and what we are compared to our appearance," Kim Novak said some time ago.
