Sydney Sweeney said it without hesitation: she hopes her 40-year-old self will be proud of what she does today.
The statement came in an interview with the Wall Street Journal where the 28-year-old actress cemented her status as a business mastermind. There, she revealed that Dr. Squatch, the soap brand born from the delirious idea of using its own bathwater, was sold to Unilever for the impressive sum of 1.500 billion dollars.
Sweeney has demonstrated a unique ability to monetize the internet’s obsession, turning her fans’ desire into a tangible financial empire. The problem is the contrast: while she talks about leaving behind a legacy to be proud of, Sweeney continues to promote her own lingerie brand without filters, with videos that many consider too daring. And that’s the question dividing social media: would 40-year-old Sydney really applaud these decisions, or will she end up regretting everything she did to sell?
