Sydney Sweeney to sell soap made with her bathwater
Sydney Sweeney, the American actress, will sell soap infused with her used bathwater because her fans 'wouldn't stop asking' for it.
The 27-year-old said she was flooded with requests after appearing in an advert last year that showed her soaking in the tub.
In the advertisement, filmed for Dr. Squatch, a men's personal care company, Sweeney bathes and tells viewers: 'Hello, you dirty little boys. Are you interested in my body… wash?'
Speaking as she announced her new Sydney's Bathwater Bliss soap, she said: 'When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap.
'It's weird in the best way, and I love that we created something that's not just unforgettable, it actually smells incredible and delivers like every other Dr. Squatch product I love.'
The product will be a mix of soap made with sand and pine bark extract, with 'a touch of Sydney's real bathwater', Dr. Squatch said. In a post on Instagram, the company wrote that it had created the soap because 'y'all wouldn't stop asking for it'.
Sweeney told GQ magazine that comments from fans wanting to consume her bathwater were likely to have been influenced by a scene from the 2023 film Saltburn, in which Barry Keoghan's character drinks the leftover bathwater of Jacob Elordi's character.
'Honestly, it probably has been a huge catalyst for it,' she said.
During filming for the Dr. Squatch advertisement, Sweeney said the crew 'had a tub for me. And I actually got in there and I took some soap, and we had a nice little bath and they took the water. So it's my real bathwater'.
Describing the soap, she said, 'It's super soft... it's marbly and has blues and a little bit of brown in it'.
The actress, who grew up near Spokane, Washington, said she wanted Sydney's Bathwater Bliss to 'lean towards my home roots, so there's this really outdoorsy scent of, like, pine and earthy moss and fir. So it smells super manly'.
The soap, priced at $8 (£6), will have a limited run of 5,000 bars and will go on sale on June 6.
The announcement received a mixed reception on social media, with one X user describing it as 'genius marketing'. But another said: 'If you buy this soap, you should be placed on a watchlist because something is wrong with you.'
Sweeney, who once apologised for having 'great' cleavage and 'correct opinions', is a rising star, with credits including the HBO series Euphoria and Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
In 2023, she starred in the romantic comedy Anyone But You and a year later had a prominent role in Sony's Spider-Man spin-off Madame Web.

Sydney Sweeney says she has to ‘prove' herself as an actor and businessperson
The actress, 27, rose to fame after starring in the hit HBO series Euphoria, alongside Zendaya and Saltburn's Jacob Elordi, playing the popular and troubled high-school pupil Cassie. Sweeney has since starred in the hit HBO TV show The White Lotus, playing spoiled Olivia Mossbacher in the first series, and stars alongside Julianne Moore in the upcoming thriller Echo Valley. Speaking to the Sunday Times, she said: 'I have to prove myself as a young woman, as an actor, as a businessperson, all of it.' In 2020 she launched her own production company, Fifty-Fifty films, which was behind the hit romantic comedy Anyone But You which she starred in alongside US actor Glen Powell. Speaking about her role in the company, she said: 'I have to be like, I want to be in the room, I want to sit in every single meeting and want to be involved in every decision, I want to be taken seriously as a producer. 'To be honest, actually, I always find that it's the women who give me the hardest time.' She said this happens outside the boardroom and in auditions too. She said: 'I see it all the time where they don't think I am right for (a role) because they watched Cassie in Euphoria. Especially because Cassie was such a sexualised character, that puts a wall up for people. 'I feel like I'm constantly having to be like, no, no, I'm an actor, I'm supposed to be different characters. 'When I see a script or a character I find a little scary and it's going to challenge me and I don't know if I can pull it off, I've got to do it.' She has also starred in the blockbuster Madame Web and the horror mystery Immaculate, in which she plays an American nun whose new home in a convent in Italy proves to be not quite what it seems. Her fame, however, has come at a cost, and she has described the lack of privacy she now has. She added: 'A lot is gone, like privacy. Which is huge. You don't realise how much that means until you lose it. I see all the time, 'Oh, they sold themselves, they knew what they were signing up for'. But 18-year-old me had no idea what she was signing up for.' She also spoke about her long-term relationship with Anyone But You co-producer and ex-fiance Jonathan Davino, 41, adding that she is now single. She said: 'I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it.' Sweeney received two Emmy Award nominations in 2022, one for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series for her role as Cassie in Euphoria, and the other for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie for her role in The White Lotus.

He was a producer on her successful romcom, Anyone But You, co-starring Glen Powell. She and the 36-year-old Texan had such chemistry in the film that many wandered if they were a couple at the time, especially since they decided to lean into the spark while promoting the movie. 'Glenn and I adore each other, so I think we were so happy for the reception of the film.' she said, seeming to shut down any idea of a love connection. 'When you spend so much time with someone, you become close and you talk to each other about anything. So work, life, family, friends, he's just there for me. I'm there for him.' For now, Sweeney is happy to share snuggles and go on outdoor activities with her dogs Sully Bear and Tank, work on restoring vintage cars, and create a real estate empire. She already owns multi-million dollar homes in Los Angeles, South Florida and the Pacific Northwest. 'I'm obsessed with Zillow,' she explained. 'Right now I'm looking at New York, looking at Montana. Maine. Rhode Island. Texas, Italy, London — everywhere.'

'I have to prove myself as a young woman, as an actor, as a businessperson — all of it,' she told the outlet. Regarding slowing down, The Handmaid's Tale actress said, 'I hear it more from my family than myself. "Sydney, you're going to burn out. Sydney, you need to slow down. Sydney, you need to take a break."' Echo Valley debuts on Apple TV+ on June 13.
