Sydney Sweeney faced backlash last month following her “good jeans” ad for American Eagle.
The internet may not always be a euphoric place for Sydney Sweeney, but the 27-year-old star knows that keeping up on the online chatter is sometimes necessary.
“I think it’s important to have a finger on the pulse of what people are saying, because everything is a conversation with the audience,” Sweeney told The Wall Street Journal about navigating internet feedback in an interview published Wednesday, Aug. 20.
In June, the “Anyone But You” actress faced backlash for her partnership with Dr. Squatch. At the time, Sweeney released a limited-edition line of bar soaps made from her bathwater.
“It was mainly the girls making comments about it, which I thought was really interesting,” she explained to the publication. “They all loved the idea of Jacob Elordi’s bathwater.”
The “Euphoria” actor, 28, starred in “Saltburn” opposite Barry Keoghan in 2023. In one scene, the Irish actor’s character Oliver drinks bathwater after Elordi’s Felix had pleasured himself in the tub.
Fans ended up creating a “Bathwater Candle” inspired by the moment.
Sweeney’s bathwater, however, didn’t garner the same kind of response.
