While filming, Sydney Sweeney was bitten by a large spider. At first she thought she was going to die.
From January 18, 2024, Sydney Sweeney (26) can be seen in the cinema in the romantic comedy “Where the Lie Falls”. The shoot wasn’t at all romantic, as the “Euphoria” star now reports. Because Sweeney was bitten by a giant crab spider, she even thought she was going to die.
“Dramatic decision for a rom-com”
The 26-year-old explains on host Jimmy Fallon’s (49) “The Tonight Show” that she was told before filming the film scene that the spider had been trained, as can be seen in one. Since filming was already underway, her colleagues did not initially realize that she had actually been bitten. The others probably initially thought that she had made “a really serious, dramatic decision for a rom-com” with her game, but she can hardly believe it.
She screamed and only her co-star Glen Powell (35) realized that the whole thing wasn’t an act. Fallon also shows footage of the incident. “She’s biting me! She’s biting me! She’s really biting me!” Sweeney screams in the clip. The actress explains to the presenter: “I thought I was going to die.”
Sydney Sweeney really becomes Spider-Woman
As frightening as the whole thing was at first, especially for Sweeney, the team apparently dealt with the incident with humor. A paramedic noted: “Sydney Sweeney (Cast Department) bitten by spider, now Spider-Woman.” At that point, her colleagues and the crew had no idea about “Madame Web,” says the actress. In the superhero film she will actually be seen in the cinema as Julia Carpenter/Spider-Woman from February 14, 2024.
