Who is Sydney Sweeney, the Emmy nominated actress whose bathwater soap sold out in seconds?
Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney stirred the internet by releasing a soap—infused with her actual bathwater—which sold out in seconds. The limited-edition "Sydney's Bathwater Bliss," launched with Dr. Squatch, became a viral sensation, blending celebrity appeal with quirky marketing. (Screenshots: Instagram/sydney_sweeney) In the ever-surreal world of celebrity branding, few stunts have managed to scrub the line between fame and frenzy quite like Sydney Sweeney's latest headline-grabber. The Emmy-nominated star of Euphoria and The White Lotus —known for her raw talent, shapeshifting roles, and unapologetic persona—has now become the talk of the internet for something completely unexpected: bathwater-infused soap. Yes, you read that right. On June 6, 2025, a limited-edition soap bar titled Sydney's Bathwater Bliss went on sale in collaboration with men's grooming brand Dr. Squatch—and it sold out in literal seconds. Only 5,000 bars were made, and the demand crashed the website, overwhelmed waitlists, and sparked a resale frenzy on eBay, where bars are now listed for prices north of $1,000. But behind the bubbles is a story of how Sweeney—once just another promising young actress—has reinvented herself into one of Hollywood's most bankable and bold stars. Born in Spokane, Washington, Sydney Bernice Sweeney began her career humbly, appearing in TV guest spots on shows like 90210 , Criminal Minds , and Grey's Anatomy . Her breakout came in 2018, with a dual splash—playing the quirky Emaline in Netflix's Everything Sucks! and the haunting Alice in HBO's Sharp Objects . Soon after, she appeared in The Handmaid's Tale , followed by a small but notable role in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood . But it was her portrayal of Cassie Howard in HBO's Euphoria that transformed Sweeney into a pop culture force. With a role that demanded vulnerability, complexity, and courage (not to mention intense media attention due to its nudity and raw emotional arcs), Sweeney emerged as a Gen Z icon. Her performance earned her an Emmy nomination, and her turn as a sardonic college student in The White Lotus only cemented her acting credentials. From that point on, Sydney Sweeney was no longer a rising star—she was a household name. Fast-forward to summer 2025, and Sweeney's name is once again on everyone's lips—but this time, it's her bathwater that's making waves. Following a cheeky 2024 ad for Dr. Squatch in which Sweeney was shown soaking in a tub, fans began flooding the internet with one strange request: they wanted her bathwater. Rather than dismiss the absurdity, Sweeney leaned into the joke. 'You kept asking about my bathwater,' she posted on Instagram. 'So we kept it.' Enter Sydney's Bathwater Bliss , a bar soap made with a 'touch of Sydney's actual bathwater,' blended with pine bark extract, exfoliating sand, and aromatic notes of Douglas fir and moss. Described as 'medium-grit' and 'infused with the essence of the outdoors and Sydney's tub,' the product sold for $8 before becoming internet folklore. The soap launch wasn't just a gimmick—it was a masterclass in viral marketing. Sweeney herself pitched the concept and oversaw the creative process. 'It's weird in the best way,' she said in a press release. 'We created something unforgettable that actually smells incredible. Hopefully, this helps guys wake up to the realities of conventional personal care products and pushes them towards natural.' Critics may have scoffed, but Sweeney doubled down. Speaking to People on the red carpet of her upcoming film Echo Valley , she brushed off the backlash with characteristic cool: 'Honestly, though,' she quipped, responding to the idea that the soap might at least get more men to shower. Beyond the viral soap stunt, Sydney Sweeney has been quietly building an empire. She founded her own production company, Fifty-Fifty Films, in 2020. She's starred in indie thrillers like Reality , mainstream flicks like Madame Web , and romantic hits such as Anyone But You —which she also executive produced and helped cast. She's also dipping her toes (and, clearly, her bathwater) into brand partnerships, serving as a face for Armani Beauty and Laneige. She's hosted Saturday Night Live , starred in a Rolling Stones music video, and is set to appear alongside Julianne Moore in the psychological drama Echo Valley , releasing later this month. Sweeney's approach to fame has always blurred the line between performer and producer. Whether it's reviving a horror script she first auditioned for as a teen ( Immaculate ), or championing natural grooming products through tongue-in-cheek campaigns, she's proving that modern stardom is as much about audacity as artistry. Is Sydney's Bathwater Bliss a bizarre moment in internet culture, or a clever commentary on celebrity obsession and consumerism? Perhaps both. But what's undeniable is Sydney Sweeney's ability to control her narrative—one lather, line, and lead role at a time. She's not just bathing in fame. She's bottling it, branding it, and turning it into soap. And apparently, people can't get enough.

Ajay Devgn's Rs 35 crore cameo in RRR made him India's highest-paid actor per minute; beats Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Vijay
Ajay Devgn's salary is a hot topic. He earned Rs 35 crore for an RRR cameo. He became the highest-paid OTT star with Rudra. His fees vary based on the project size. Post-pandemic, he delivered box office hits. He charges around Rs 20 crore for smaller films. He earns over Rs 40 crore for big ventures like Singham Again. Ajay Devgn may be known for his intense screen presence and mass appeal, but his paycheck has been making headlines just as much. From commanding a record-breaking Rs 35 crore for an 8-minute cameo in RRR to becoming India's highest-paid OTT star with Rudra, the actor has consistently reshaped the industry's pay scale. As conversations around star fees heat up in the age of big-budget spectacles and streaming giants, Ajay's calculated choices and blockbuster success post-pandemic make him a fascinating case study in the economics of modern stardom. In 2017, following the massive success of Baahubali 2, director SS Rajamouli announced his next ambitious project with Jr NTR and Ram Charan. Titled RRR, the film's cast expanded over time, with Ajay Devgn joining in early 2019 for a brief but pivotal cameo, alongside Alia Bhatt and Shriya Saran. Though Ajay appeared on screen for just 8 minutes, he was paid a staggering Rs 35 crore—making it the most expensive cameo in Indian cinema. At Rs 4.35 crore per minute, it set a new record for the highest per-minute fee charged by any Indian actor at the time. To put that into perspective, if Shah Rukh Khan were paid at the same Rs 4.35 crore-per-minute rate for Jawan—in which he appears for around 70 minutes—his fee would have ballooned to Rs 300 crore, surpassing the film's actual budget. By that metric, Rajinikanth (Jailer), Salman Khan (Tiger 3), Prabhas (Kalki 2898 AD), and Allu Arjun (Pushpa 2) would each have to earn between ₹250–300 crore—far more than their reported fees. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NYC Hotel Smartphone Booking | Bookmark Now! | New York City Hotel Booking | Mill Canyon Road Click Here Undo Ajay Devgn's brief role in RRR thus made him, if only by this calculation, the highest-paid actor in India. Ajay Devgn eventually cemented his place at the top of the pay scale when he became the highest-paid OTT star in the country. In 2021, he signed on for Rudra: The Edge of Darkness for a whopping Rs 125 crore, marking a new benchmark for digital content deals in India. Post-pandemic, Ajay Devgn has enjoyed a strong box office run with hits like Drishyam 2, Raid 2, and Singham Again. Known for his flexible approach to remuneration, the actor reportedly tailors his fee based on the project's scale—charging around Rs 20 crore for smaller-budget films like Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha and Raid 2, while pushing it beyond Rs 40 crore for big-ticket ventures like Singham Again.
