Sydney Sweeney Fires Off More Than Ads; Gun Range Video Sparks Viral Frenzy

Sydney Sweeney is making headlines for more than just her acting, a viral video shows the Euphoria star confidently firing a Glock at a shooting range, impressing fans with her calm, precise aim. But the buzz over her marksmanship collided with growing backlash against her American Eagle ad campaign. In the ad, Sweeney paints over the word “genes” to read “jeans,” triggering criticism that it’s tone-deaf, overly sexualised, and racially insensitive. While American Eagle defended the campaign as “about her jeans, her story,” debate continues to swirl. One thing’s clear: Sydney is still firmly in the spotlight.
