Actress Sydney Sweeney is embracing a year of new experiences, a philosophy that recently led her to a terrifying skydiving jump just hours after a night out at bars. The 'Euphoria' star shared the details of her adrenaline-fueled adventure during a candid interview on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on Thursday.
A Terrifying Leap of Faith
Sweeney, who currently stars in the new boxing biopic 'Christy,' revealed to host Stephen Colbert that she has a significant fear of heights, making the skydive a particularly daunting challenge. Colbert showed the audience a picture of Sweeney in 'mid-dive,' capturing the moment of her plunge. When asked how one prepares for such a feat, Sweeney's answer was unexpectedly straightforward.
She confessed that her preparation involved going barhopping with her cousins until 3 a.m., followed directly by the skydive at 6 a.m. This shocking revelation prompted Colbert to ask if she showed up for the jump still intoxicated.
The Morning After the Night Before
‘I was a little worried stuff would come out, yeah,’ Sweeney joked, adding a humorous and gross visual: ‘I would not be the only thing falling out of the sky.’ While experts universally warn that skydiving and alcohol do not mix, a video of her stunt showed that she managed to complete the jump without any visible incident.
This wasn't the first time Sweeney has discussed her summer of thrill-seeking. She previously appeared on 'Live With Kelly and Mark,' where she shared another daring detail. After a night of karaoke, a seaplane picked her up and flew her directly to the skydiving site. Beyond skydiving, Sweeney has also been kite-surfing, openly confessing that she has developed a passion for high-adrenaline activities and considers herself an adrenaline junkie.
Confessing an Adrenaline Addiction
Despite her fear, the actor continues to seek out new and exciting experiences. Her story highlights a summer defined by pushing personal boundaries, from the skies above to the waves below. Sweeney's candidness about combining a night of partying with an extreme sport provides a startling, if not cautionary, tale from the world of celebrity thrill-seeking.
