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 is selling soap infused with her ‘actual' bathwater
Gwen Stefani sang about bathing in it, and now it's actually becoming a thing, thanks to one euphoric actress. Sydney Sweeney is again partnering with soap brand Dr. Squatch to sell a limited addition line of bars infused with her bathwater. Yes, you read that right: according to a series of Instagram posts from the 'Euphoria' star on Thursday, 'Sydney's Bathwater Bliss' soap bars can be yours next month. The product push comes after Sweeney's now-viral ad for Dr. Squatch Natural Body Wash last October, which featured her in a bubble bath addressing 'dirty little boys.' 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it,' Thursday's post on both Sweeney's and Dr. Squatch's Instagram pages read. 'Introducing Sydney's Bathwater Bliss! A very real, very limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater.' Another post (rightfully) asked 'Why?' this new, medium-grit soap is being brought into existence, and then answered, 'Because y'all wouldn't stop asking. And Sydney said, 'Let's do it.' (what a legend).' The brand is even doing a giveaway promotion with 100 winners getting the soap for free, but stipulated that those interested must be over 18 years of age. The promo mentioned that the soap is 'a perfect combination of the two best places on the planet: The outdoors and Sydney Sweeney's bathtub. Experience the ultimate blend of outdoor serenity with refreshing notes of pine, Douglas fir, earthy moss, and a touch of Sydney's very own bathwater.' Sydney's Bathwater Bliss will be available for purchase at on June 6. The price for some good, clean fun and 'bliss' in a bar? A budget-friendly $8.

Sydney Sweeney is selling her literal bath water to rabid fans in ‘gross' new ad
Now that's dirty. Sydney Sweeney is taking a page out of Euphoria co-star Jacob Elordi's playbook, repurposing her bath water for rabid fans. The actress, 27, previously stripped down and took a dip in a bubble bath for soap brand Dr. Squatch, promoting the brand's Natural Body Wash. Now, she's taking the eco-friendly route, with the company packaging the same suds from the ad into a brand new product. Called Bathwater Bliss, the limited-edition bar soap is formulated with exfoliating sand and pine bark extract as well as a splash of Sweeney's soap that 'channels two of the best places on earth: the great outdoors and Sydney Sweeney's bathtub,' per a press release from the brand. 'When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it, or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap,' the newly single star said in the release. '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,' she added. 'Hopefully, this helps guys wake up to the realities of conventional personal care products and pushes them towards natural.' Like Sweeney, the bars are sure to be a hot commodity; only 5000 will be made, with the goods going on sale on June 6 on the brand's website. Fans are already having a ball with the news. 'What has the world come to…' one commented on Sweeney's post. A second said, 'The gooners are gonna spend their life savings getting as many as they can.' A third declared, 'Never thought I'd see the day that washing my mouth out with soap wasn't a punishment but I actually want to but here we are.' However, others were grossed out by the product. 'Are straight men ok?' one asked, as another added, 'I love you Sydney, but what the f**k is this?' 'I wanted this to be fake so bad,' someone commented, as one concluded, 'Nah, this is gross.'

Emmerdale signs major rival soap star for huge new villain role – and it's bad news for Moira Dingle
SOAP SHOCK The actress has had a long and distinguished career but will now play a soap villain EMMERDALE has signed up a star of a rival soap for an explosive new storyline - and it'll be bad news for Moira Dingle. The ITV soap has snapped up esteemed actress Jaye Griffiths who has had major roles in Casualty, The Bill, Silent Witness and Doctors. 2 2 And she's going to be playing a new villainous character who could prove problematic for farmer Moira Dingle. Viewers know Moira is in serious trouble and facing massive fines for her farm contaminating the water supply. And while it was John Sugden who framed Mackenzie Boyd for the crime, Moira's facing losing her beloved farm. So when a neighbouring farmer makes herself known, Moira's facing a huge crisis. Newcomer Ceilia calls to enquire if she can rent two of her fields, Moira is quick to shrug her off, but she clearly means business. Celia's reputation precedes her as Moira isn't keen to deal with this woman, despite bad finances on her own farm. And soon when poor vet Paddy is brutally attacked and hospitalised by one of Celia's guard dogs we start to get the measure of her true colours from her reaction to the attack. Producer Laura Shaw explains: 'We are absolutely delighted to have Jaye Griffiths joining us to play the role of Celia. 'Having recently taken over a nearby farm, not much is known about mysterious Celia's past before arriving on the outskirts of the village. 'While Celia has a tough edge with an air of respectability, the audience, and our villagers, will soon start to see what this woman is truly capable of.' Jaye explains: 'I was delighted to get this role - without giving the game away she is very different to anyone I have played before and I can't wait to really get into the heart of her storyline.' Celia is renting a neighbouring farm in Emmerdale from Kim Tate, but with the Bartons and Sugdens as farming families already well established within the community there is definitely conflict on its way. Jaye is known for her previous roles in The Bill, Casualty and Doctors.
