Sydney Sweeney Goes Naked for Sports ad Filmed in Australia

The minute-long spot shows Sweeney posing without clothing as Novig uses provocative marketing to promote its sports prediction app.

  • Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney, 28, stars in a provocative new ad campaign for sports trading app Novig, filmed in Australia while shooting the Netflix live-action movie Gundam alongside Noah Centineo.
  • Sweeney has developed an affinity for controversial advertising, previously facing online criticism for her American Eagle Outfitters ad, which some alleged promoted "Nazi propaganda," and a Dr. Squatch collaboration featuring limited-edition bar soaps.
  • In a press release, Sweeney stated she was happy to "embrace a fun idea" and disrobe for the campaign, explaining the concept is simple: "cut through the noise and put the focus entirely on sports."
  • Addressing past backlash, Sweeney noted it was "mainly the girls making comments," before referencing an infamous scene in the hit film Saltburn to call out a double standard regarding Jacob Elordi's bathwater.
  • Brands target the actress because her image is a "valuable commodity" for marketers, as provocative marketing reliably generates online attention and polarization, which Sweeney has previously noted helps address the financial realities of acting.
