Critics dug up her past controversies, including her viral jeans advertisement that got her involved with Donald Trump and MAGA supporters.Speaking to Variety, the Euphoria star said she\u2019d \u201chave more fun as James Bond\u201d while addressing speculation that she could be joining the next instalment of the spy franchise. \u201cI can\u2019t\u2026 I don\u2019t know\u2026 to be honest, I don\u2019t know all the Bond rumours,\u201d she said.\u201cI\u2019ve always been a huge fan of the franchise, and I\u2019m excited and curious to see what they do with it. Depends on the script. I think I\u2019d have more fun as James Bond.\u201dWhy is the internet after Sydney Sweeney?Many social media users claimed it was ironic for an actress with conservative support to talk about taking on a role traditionally played by a male protagonist. Gender debates and sexual preferences are quite sensitive topics among GOP supporters, who strongly favour heterosexuality and traditional binary norms.The backlash follows earlier uproar over Sweeney\u2019s 2025 American Eagle advertisement, which featured the line: \u201cGenes are passed down from parents to offspring\u2026 My jeans are blue.\u201d Critics said the campaign promoted eugenics ideas, leading to a heated debate about race and beauty standards.The company clarified the ad was purely about denim, saying, \u201cHer jeans. Her story. We\u2019ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way.\u201dHow is Sweeney involved with Trump?The row deepened when records showed Sweeney was registered as a Republican in Florida. Soon after, Donald Trump came to her defence, calling her \u201ca registered Republican\u201d and praising the advert as \u201cthe HOTTEST ad out there.\u201d The GOP leader&#8217;s comments sent American Eagle\u2019s stock soaring by nearly 20 per cent.Mother\u2019s birthday party controversy Sweeney has largely avoided political discussions, though she once urged fans to \u201cstop making assumptions\u201d after photos from her mother\u2019s birthday party showed guests wearing Make America Great Again (MAGA) hats. \u201cHonestly, I feel like nothing I say can help the conversation,\u201d she told GQ later. \u201cIt\u2019s been turning into a wildfire, and nothing I can say will take it back to the correct track.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sydney Sweeney hinted that she could be playing James Bond instead of a Bond Girl in the popular&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246680,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[115510,49,48,361,75,115509,115508,115507,115511],"class_list":["post-246679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-american-eagle-advertisement-controversy","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-james-bond-franchise-news","tag-sydney-sweeney-controversies","tag-sydney-sweeney-james-bond-casting","tag-sydney-sweeney-republican-affiliation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
