Sydney Sweeney, the 25-year-old actress recognized for her prominent role in the television series "Euphoria," encountered a wardrobe malfunction on Monday while filming a beach scene for her latest R-rated romantic comedy in Sydney, Australia. Despite the incident, Sweeney maintained her composure and continued filming alongside her co-stars without interruption.
During the production, Sweeney was dressed in sheer white lingerie with pink lace detailing, which slipped momentarily, revealing more than intended. The scene was high-energy, with Sweeney actively participating and splashing through the water with her co-stars Hadley Robinson and Alexandra Shipp. Robinson was adorned in a modest printed bikini, while Shipp sported an orange bikini top and black G-string bottoms, displaying tattoos on her upper thigh. The ensemble's leading man, Glen Powell, was present shirtless, wearing brown and black swimming trunks and flaunting his physique.
The spirited beach scene involved Sweeney and Robinson holding hands while walking on the sand, and at one point, Sweeney was seen playfully jumping onto Robinson's back in the surf. The camera operators and production crew captured the sequence from the shore.
Following the incident, the production team acted swiftly to ensure the privacy of the actors, covering them with towels and positioning umbrellas strategically. This precaution underscores the crew's commitment to respecting the actors' privacy during moments of vulnerability.
Sweeney has been open about her experiences dealing with a mature physique from a young age. In past interviews, she has discussed the sense of alienation she felt, using both sports and academics as a means to assert her identity beyond her physical appearance. She has also demonstrated her combat skills as a trained mixed martial arts fighter, participating in grappling competitions during her high school years.
The film, directed by Will Gluck, who is known for other romantic comedies such as "Easy A" and "Friends with Benefits," is anticipated to significantly benefit the New South Wales economy. It is projected to inject approximately AUD$41 million and create over 440 job opportunities for the cast and crew. Gluck expressed his enthusiasm for showcasing Sydney authentically in the movie, noting the production team's strong ties to Australia from their work on the "Peter Rabbit" films.
In addition to her current project, Sweeney has been promoting her film "Reality," which is based on the real-life events of former Air Force linguist Reality Leigh Winner. Sweeney has approached the portrayal of Winner with careful consideration, emphasizing the importance of the dialogue and interactions within the film.
Filming for the romantic comedy has taken place across multiple locations in Sydney, including Surry Hills and Double Bay. Sweeney has been balancing a variety of roles, from high-profile television series to feature films, showcasing her versatility as an actress with a range of dramatic and comedic performances.
