Hollywood producer Carol Baum's comments about Sydney Sweeney, the star of the blockbuster rom-com movie "Anyone But You," have left many fans feeling disheartened. 

Baum, who revealed she does not understand Sweeney's popularity, stated that she "isn't pretty" and "can't act."

According to a report by pagesix.com, Baum made the comments at the Jacob Burns Center in Pleasantville, NY, last week.

“I don’t get Sydney Sweeney. I wanted to know who she is and why everybody’s talking about her,” said Baum, producer of the hit movie Father of the Bride and its sequel.

Baum said she realized this after watching Sweeney’s latest film, “Anyone But You,” on an airplane. She also derscribed the rom-com is "unwatchable."

The producer further revealed that her students at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts couldn’t give a satisfactory reason why the 26-year-old star is so sought after, the same report added. “I said to my class, ‘Explain this girl to me. She’s not pretty; she can’t act. Why is she so hot?'” Nobody had an answer."

Baum admitted uncertainty about turning down a movie production involving her.

“We all want to get the movie made and who walks away from a green light? Nobody I know. Your job is to get the movie made," said Baum, in a report by the popular entertainment website.
