Sydney Sweeney, Kate Hudson, Dwayne Johnson and Adam Sandler Light Up Variety’s Inaugural ‘Actors on Actors’ Bash

A star-studded gathering of Hollywood's elite took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel last Friday night as Variety celebrated its 23rd season of 'Actors on Actors', a unique platform where notable stars engage in uncensored conversations about their craft. The exclusive event, which serves as a prelude to this year's Golden Globes awards, was hosted by Ramin Setoodeh and Helen Hoehne.

Among the attendees were Sydney Sweeney, Kate Hudson, Dwayne Johnson, Adam Sandler, Ethan Hawke, Tonatiuh, Connor Storrie, Odessa A’zion, Kumail Nanjiani, and several others. The evening was sponsored by Aman Beverly Hills and Morgan Stanley, with a plethora of celebrities mingling over tuna tartare cones and mini grilled cheese.

The 'Actors on Actors' event is known for its intimate nature, providing an opportunity for stars to reveal their personal side, share their creative processes, and gain insight into the minds of fellow artists. Jennifer Lawrence was particularly fortunate this year, as she managed to quiz Leonardo DiCaprio about his approach to acting.

Kate Hudson also opened up about her role in Luca Guadagnino's "After the Hunt" with Jeremy Allen White, while Julia Roberts discussed her memorable friendship with Sean Penn over their most notable performances since "Erin Brockovich". Adam Sandler celebrated a milestone role, earning praise from fellow actor Sydney Sweeney.

Industry luminaries such as Tom Bernard and Michael Barker made appearances alongside Sony Pictures Classics heads. Guests also received a gift bag marking the upcoming launch of Aman Beverly Hills.

The evening was filled with fascinating conversations, unexpected pairings, and numerous memorable moments. In his remarks, Variety's co-president and publisher Dea Lawrence praised the franchise for becoming an online phenomenon and credited the event as a celebration not only of awards season but also of this remarkable body of work on screen.

In attendance were guests dressed in designer attire, including billionaire Kevin Ulrich who showed off a stunning J. Crew double-breasted suit. Amidst the glamour, host Ramin Setoodeh was seen greeting stars at the door, reinforcing his involvement with the event's core purpose: fostering connections among industry leaders and offering an intimate platform for self-expression and creative exploration.

As the curtain falls on this year's 'Actors on Actors' bash, it is clear that Variety has once again delivered a remarkable celebration of Hollywood's elite, reiterating its position as a driving force in shaping conversations about the craft.
 
I don't get why people still need an "uncensored" conversation platform like this... just give us a bunch of actors sitting around and talking about their feelings like normal humans or something 🤷‍♂️. And what's up with all these A-listers crashing this party? Can't they see how fake it all is? 🙄 It's just a bunch of rich people pretending to be friends for the sake of their careers.
 
🤩 just watched this vid of Adam Sandler chatting with Sydney Sweeney about his latest film & I'm DYING 🤣 love how he's still got that goofy energy but also shows some real depth & vulnerability as an actor 💡 meanwhile, Kate Hudson being her fabulous self, discussing Luca Guadagnino and Jeremy Allen White's "After the Hunt" 🍷 those tuna tartare cones at the party looked SO Instagrammable 📸 can't wait for the Golden Globes! 👀
 
omg i'm so glad they got to talk about their acting processes 🤩! and can we just say how gorgeous kevin ulrich looked in that j crew suit 🙌? kate hudson's convo with julia roberts was literally the highlight of my day 😍, and it's amazing how variet has created this platform for actors to connect & share their passions 💖
 
I guess what caught my eye was how amazing it must be to have such an open and intimate conversation with fellow celebrities... 🤝 Like, who gets to sit down with Leonardo DiCaprio and just chat about acting? 🙌 Jennifer Lawrence's questions were so thoughtful and insightful, I'm sure she got some really valuable info out of their convo. And Adam Sandler's milestone role was super cool, it's awesome that he has friends like Sydney Sweeney who support him. The whole event seemed so relaxed and fun, like a big Hollywood party... 🎉
 
lol I just saw this thread and i'm like wow who even attends this thing? 🤣 I mean idk if its supposed to be some kinda secret club or what but it sounds like so much fun! The tuna tartare cones tho? 😂 that's actually kinda genius. And i loved how jennifer lawrence got to quiz leo di caprio about acting - i've been dying to know his secrets too 🤔 but anyway, congrats to adam sandler on his milestone role and all the others for being part of this cool event 💕
