Sydney Sweeney revealed she recently jumped out of a perfectly good airplane to perform a tandem skydive while strapped to Red Bull Air Force member Luke Aikins.
The 27-year-old thrill seeker made sure her flight suit was zipped just low enough to showcase her cleavage while plummeting 10K feet in the air.
Sydney – who boasts 28.4M social media followers – captioned her Instagram video: ‘Probably the coolest thing I’ve ever had the opportunity of doing. Thank you @lukeaikins for a memory of a lifetime.’
The 51-year-old professional skydiver – who made history in 2016 as the first person to skydive without a parachute and land in a 100ft x 100ft net – made sure Sweeney had a safe landing following their daredevil stunt.
Luke is no stranger to the film industry having worked on stunts for Black Widow (2021), Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), Godzilla (2014), and Iron Man 3 (2013).
The Euphoria actress’ post attempted to distract from the fact that her new indie film Americana only made $500K from 1,100 theaters over the weekend.

The long-delayed crime thriller – formerly known as National Anthem – also stars Halsey, Paul Walter Hauser, Eric Dane, and Simon Rex.
Americana’s performance might have been affected by Sweeney’s controversial American Eagle campaign, which was accused of pushing Nazi-like eugenics as aspirational.
‘Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,’ the newly-registered Republican said in the original commercial.
‘My jeans are blue.’
Sydney has yet to publicly address the ‘White supremacy’ backlash, but CEO Jay Schottenstein issued a statement stressing that the spot ‘is and always was about the jeans’ and noted that ‘great jeans look good on everyone.’
The $3.3B denim brand’s stock price, which had dropped dramatically on August 1, has surged over 27% specifically thanks to President Donald Trump’s public approval of the ‘HOTTEST ad out there.’
Sweeney will next portray the real-life German settler Margret Wittmer in Ron Howard’s $50M-budget survival thriller Eden – hitting US theaters this Friday – alongside Jude Law, Ana de Armas, and Daniel Brühl.
