It has become a norm for celebrities to do jaw-dropping things, but Sydney Sweeney has taken it to a whole new level. The actress has decided to share a drop of her bathwater, infused in a bar of soap, with 5 000 interested buyers, particularly men.
Yes, you read that right! Sweeney was generous enough to share her bathwater with men and, well, anyone who wants to buy the soap.
The 27-year-old actress is selling a 'very limited-edition' 5 000 bars of 'Sydney's Bathwater Bliss' soap that contains drops of her bathwater. This is in collaboration with Dr. Squatch, an American personal care company that sells personal care products marketed towards men.
The announcement
On May 29, Sweeney took to her Instagram to announce her latest partnership with Dr. Squatch for a limited edition men's natural soap that is infused with her actual bathwater.
This comes after the Euphoria actress's now-viral commercial for 'Dr. Squatch Natural Body Wash' which she shot in 2024.
In the commercial, Sweeney is in a bubble-filled bathtub surrounded by lit candles as she addresses the audience.
Sweeney teases, 'Hello, you dirty little boys, are you interested in my body?' and pauses before revealing a bottle from under the bubbles, 'Wash?' Well, you can't have it … Because this isn't for boys, it's for men.'
The bathwater soap buzz
Now, the bathwater from that commercial has been infused in the 'Sydney's Bathwater Bliss' bar soap because fans could not stop asking about the star's bathwater.
'When we were at the Dr. Squatch shoot, they 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 bath water,' Sweeney shared in conversation with 'GQ'.
'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it. Introducing Sydney's Bathwater Bliss! A very real, very limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater,' her post read.
The Dr. Squatch brand is doing a giveaway, 100 winners will be getting the soap for free, but only if they are over the age of 18.
Answering the question that is surely on a lot of netizens' minds, the brand said: 'Why? Because y'all wouldn't stop asking. And Sweeney said, 'Let's do it.' (What a legend).'
According to the brand, the soap carries the scent 'Morning Wood', which is a popular fragrance from Dr. Squatch and offers medium grit exfoliation for that satisfying scrub.
Fans reaction
The announcement sent her comment section into a frenzy and triggered mixed reactions from fans. Some were disgusted as much as they were in disbelief, questioning why the actress would even do something like this.
'Geez, this is literally sad for humanity 😩' said Instagram user @destiny_arella. @sueyoshifield2.0 said: 'Sydney honey, I love you, but I don't know about this.'
Another user @Jimmyburbz praised Sweeney, saying: 'She's honey potting her fans because she knows they'll buy it. It's honestly brilliant of her from a business standpoint in a way.'
The soap will be available on June 6, but the price has not yet been revealed.

Will Lady Eliza Spencer wear Diana's tiara on her wedding day?
Lady Eliza Spencer – the niece of the late Princess Diana – is engaged to South African businessman Channing Millerd. With her wedding planning in full swing, many want to know if the Cape Town-raised aristocrat will wear the Spencer Tiara worn by the late royal on her wedding day. Diana, the sister of Eliza's father, Earl Charles Spencer, married the then-Prince Charles of the British Royal Family in 1981. The former couple's high-profile divorce was finalised a year before her tragic death in a car crash in 1997. Charles is now king and is married to his alleged former mistress, Queen Camilla. Eliza Spencer's wedding will come hot on the heels of her twin sister Lady Amelia, who married in 2023, and her older sister Lady Kitty, who wed in 2021. Unlike Diana's two sisters, Lady Jane and Lady Sarah, who wore the Spencer Tiara on their wedding days, Eliza's sisters chose not to wear the diamond-encrusted family heirloom at their nuptials. Lady Eliza Spencer – the niece of the late Princess Diana – is engaged. Will she wear the Spencer Tiara on her wedding day? Many hope she will return to the family tradition. Images via Instagram: @elizavspencer According to reports, their decision to break with tradition varied from reports of the gesture eliciting 'painful memories' of Diana's death to claims of a strained family relationship. It's unclear if Lady Eliza Spencer will become the first in her immediate family to wear the pricey piece of jewellery. After Princess Diana died in 1997, the Spencer Tiara was returned to her brother, Earl Charles Spencer. It is not part of the British royal collection. Although Charles is the youngest member of the Spencer family, he is the only male, and thus heir to the earldom and the family's estate. Should Lady Eliza Spencer wear the tiara, she would be the second in her family to wear it since Princess Diana's death. In 2018, Diana's other niece, Celia McCorquodale – the daughter of her older sister Sarah – wore the tiara on her wedding day. A few years later, in 2022, the Spencer Tiara was displayed in London as part of Sotheby's Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebration. In its display description, Sotheby's claimed the tiara would be inherited by Diana's granddaughter, Charlotte, the daughter of her son, William. However, some royal experts claim that this is factually incorrect. Some have pointed to the fact that the tiara was simply loaned to Diana by her brother, Charles. It will likely be inherited by Charles's firstborn son and heir, Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp. Like Charles, Louis will inherit the earldom.
