Sydney Sweeney dared Tom Cruise to “watch out” after strapping herself to a plane for a death-defying wing-walking stunt.
The Euphoria star, 27, shared footage Monday morning on social media showing her standing atop a moving aircraft as it performed barrel rolls and multiple loops, all while she remained fastened to the wing. The actress appeared composed throughout, holding steady even as the plane rolled upside down through the sky.
Sweeney leaned into the danger of the moment with a wry caption alongside the clip: “Decided to strap myself to a plane and go upside down.”
The White Lotus actress didn’t stop at documenting the feat. She took a playful swipe at Hollywood’s reigning stunt king in her post, telling Tom Cruise, 62, to watch out. Cruise has spent decades building his reputation for performing his own high-risk sequences, from clinging to the side of a plane in Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation to skydiving stunts in later installments of the blockbuster franchise.
The wing-walking stunt marks the latest in a run of adrenaline-fueled outings for Sweeney this summer. She recently completed a tandem bungee jump in New Zealand alongside her boyfriend, music executive Scooter Braun, with the pair throwing themselves off a towering cliff together. The couple have also been photographed enjoying more relaxed moments away from the stunts, including soaking up the sun during a trip to Mallorca earlier this month.
Sweeney also leaned into costume fun recently, dressing as Wonder Woman as part of her Camp ’26 celebrations.
There’s no word yet on where the plane stunt was filmed or who piloted the aircraft during the sequence, and Sweeney has not provided further detail beyond the caption shared with the video. As her summer with Braun continues, though, the pair appear intent on packing in as many high-octane experiences as possible before it wraps up.
Sweeney has also been busy with charitable efforts closer to home. Earlier this month, the actress returned to her hometown of Spokane, Washington, to help distribute free meals to residents affected by the area’s devastating wildfires. She was spotted outside the Women and Children’s Free Restaurant and Community Kitchen, pitching in as the fires forced more than 65,000 people from their homes in what’s been described as the region’s worst natural disaster on record.
Her partnership with American Eagle has also been put to use for the cause, with the brand extending its collaboration with Sweeney into wildfire relief efforts for her home state throughout August.
Sweeney’s next major upcoming projects include starring roles in The Housemaid’s Secret, Netflix’s live-action Gundam, and a Kim Novak biopic titled Scandalous.
