Millie Bobby Brown and Sydney Sweeney are two of Gen Z's most-loved actresses. Not only have they made a name for themselves with raw, powerful performances on screen, but beyond that, they are also building their own brands with their down-to-earth personalities and daring career choices that go against the grain of Hollywood norms. Naturally, this has set up a bit of a competition between the young actresses, and from what it seems, Brown may have gained a slight edge over her Hollywood peer, Sweeney.

Millie Bobby Brown has now taken the lead over Sweeney in the race to become one of the highest-paid actresses under the age of 30.

Millie Bobby Brown and Sydney Sweeney are now among the top five highest-paid actresses in Hollywood under 30. While Sweeney took the third spot on the list, Stranger Things star Brown reached the very top, alongside Sweeney’s Euphoria co-star, Zendaya, making them the highest-paid actresses under 30. Brown’s rank was due to her $10 million salary for Enola Holmes 2, which matched Zendaya’s pay for Challengers. Meanwhile, Sweeney earned $7.5 million for her role in The Housemaid.

Florence Pugh and Jenna Ortega grabbed the fourth and fifth spots, respectively. Part of Sweeney’s jump in pay for The Housemaid was due to big backend profits she scored from Anyone But You, reportedly millions. Brown, on the other hand, made history by securing the highest upfront salary for an actor under 20 with her Enola Holmes 2 deal. But their unsaid competition does not stop there.

Fans have also been pitting Brown and Sweeney against each other for the lead in a biopic about one of pop’s biggest icons.

Millie Bobby Brown and Sydney Sweeney are the top picks to play Britney Spears in her biopic. However, Brown has made it pretty clear that she wants the role. In a 2022 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, she talked about how much she admires the ‘Toxic’ singer and that playing her would be a dream come true.

On the other hand, fans think Sweeney would nail the dramatic side of Spears’ story. With her versatility and range shown in projects like Immaculate, The White Lotus, and her upcoming role in the Christy Martin biopic, there is no doubt why she has dominated the discussion of Spears’ biopic casting. No matter who gets the part, both Brown and Sweeney are definitely ones to watch in Hollywood.
