Kim Novak recently told The Times of London that she would’ve “never approved” the upcoming drama film “Scandalous” about her relationship with Sammy Davis Jr., starring Sydney Sweeney and David Jonsson.

Sweeney is set to play Novak in the film opposite Jonsson as Davis. Novak is not pleased with Sweeney in the role, telling The Times that the “Anyone But You” star “sticks out so much above the waist.”
