Sydney Sweeney risks wardrobe mishap in new video
Sydney Sweeney recently marked a milestone by skydiving from 10,000 feet with Red Bull Air Force veteran Luke Aikins.
Sharing the moment on Instagram, the 27-year-old described it as “probably the coolest thing I’ve ever had the opportunity of doing.” The dive, captured mid-air, nearly led to a wardrobe malfunction as she soared through the sky harnessed to Aikins. He is known for his record-breaking 2016 parachute-free jump into a safety net.
The daring stunt came as her latest movie, Americana, underperformed at the box office. The film earned only $500,000 during its U.S. opening weekend. In the indie western, Sweeney plays a small-town waitress chasing country stardom. She stars alongside Halsey, Eric Dane, and Simon Rex. The project, originally titled National Anthem, premiered at SXSW more than two years ago but has struggled commercially.
Despite the film’s reception, Sweeney has several upcoming projects. She has completed filming Eden, Ron Howard’s survival drama set in the Galápagos Islands. In it, she portrays German settler Margret Wittmer opposite Jude Law and Ana de Armas. The film, once called Origin of Species, opens in U.S. theaters this Friday.
Next month, she will attend the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of Christy, a biopic about boxer Christy Martin. For the role, Sweeney trained extensively in mixed martial arts and gained about 30 pounds of muscle. She is also producing and starring in The Housemaid, a psychological thriller adapted from Freida McFadden’s bestselling novel. It is scheduled for release this Christmas.
Fans are also waiting for her return in Euphoria season three as Cassie Howard. The new season will introduce Sharon Stone and Rosalía to the cast. Alongside her acting, Sweeney recently faced backlash for an American Apparel advertisement. Critics called the ad “tone-deaf,” but she appears to be moving forward with a packed slate of roles and productions.
