Sydney Sweeney is one of the most talented actresses of the newer generation of actors. Being right up there with Zendaya and Florence Pugh, her performances in critically acclaimed projects like Euphoria, The White Lotus, and Immaculate truly showcase her skills in the craft. Despite all of her award-worthy scenes, Sweeney rarely received the recognition that she deserved, being overshadowed by other aspects of her person.
Her physical characteristics seem to be all her fans can talk about, completely disregarding just how good she is at what she does. While many would assume that this is due to the male gaze, this seems to be quite intentional on the actress’s part.
Nothing showcases this better than her most recent post and the effect that it was bound to have on her male fanbase.
Sydney Sweeney’s Recent Post Broke the Internet
Even though Sydney Sweeney loves to play into the bombshell stereotype created by Hollywood, there is no denying that she is a very smart woman. Having a bachelor’s degree in business, the actress is well-versed in how Hollywood works and how to make it bend in her favor.
This has perfectly blended into her interactions with the public and her fans, understanding exactly what moves to make to leave a mark on the industry.
Recently, Sweeney made a post on her Instagram profile that has had the world losing their minds, exactly as she wants them to. The post is a photo dump of her enjoying her time in a lake on a boat. She is seen wearing a beautiful swimsuit, and the pictures have been called quite suggestive in nature, with low-angle shots from her behind.
I think they call this a thirst trap.
Regardless of the reception, the actress seems to be having the time of her life with her hairstylist and makeup artist. In the caption of the post, she jokes that the post is a ‘thirst trap’, seemingly unbothered by the reaction that her male fans seem to be having to it.
Sydney Sweeney is a Marketing Genius
Sydney Sweeney’s recent post seems to have shattered the internet, with all of her fans freaking out over just how good she looks in the pictures. On top of going trending on all social media platforms, the comments on the post are not tame in any way.
“this fixed me” said marco.bissuett on Instagram.
“post again pls, u are better than my family” added dubsgang.
“I am looking at your personality!!!” mentioned celeste_oconnor.
“its a Heaven Trap, the greatest thirst trap ever” said daini_aar.
“Yes. I’ll do anything for you” jamalams1added.
While many would assume that she was unaware of the reaction that fans would have to the post, her actions seem to be quite intentional, and an older interview by Glen Powell seems to support this theory.
There was a lot of buzz surrounding the nature of Powell and Sweeney’s relationship around the release of their film, Anyone But You, and according to the actor, she was the mastermind behind most of it. During an interview with The New York Times, Powell explained that their chemistry was naturally very good in the film, but they decided to keep it going when the cameras were off to help better promote the film.
After mentioning this, he stated that Sweeney was very smart when it came to these things, potentially hinting that she helped orchestrate most of the rumors surrounding the film. Considering how this conversation helped the movie gain a lot of attention and recognition, it is not surprising that the actress knows what she is doing when it comes to media interaction.
