Sydney Sweeney has shared a video of the moment she was bitten by a trained spider during filming on Anyone But You, her rom-com with Glen Powell.
Sweeney played the clip on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, revealing that she thought she was going to die as the spider sunk its teeth into her wrist.
“He’s biting me, he’s biting me. No, he’s really biting me,” she screams in the clip. Powell comes to her assistance, asking: “It got you? It actually got you?”
Sweeney was given a clean bill of health after the incident and can now laugh at what she described as her “soul scream” as the arachnid had a nibble.
“Who else bleeds for their romantic comedies?” Fallon quipped, describing her alarm as a “primal scream.”
Fallon displayed an official report from the Columbia Pictures film’s on-set medic, who jokingly wrote: “First aid – Sydney Sweeney (Cast Department) bitten by spider, now Spiderwoman.”
Sweeney said the Anyone But You crew was unaware that she would be playing Spider-Woman in her next project, Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff Madame Web.
