Actor Sydney Sweeney pushed her personal boundaries this weekend with a high-adrenaline trip to Queenstown, New Zealand, following the wrap of her latest film project, according to published reports. Known for her roles in Euphoria and the first season of The White Lotus, the Washington-born performer documented a series of extreme sports activities alongside partner Scooter Braun and co-star Noah Centineo.
Queenstown Adventure Marks End of Australian Shoot
The New Zealand getaway followed the completion of filming for Gundam, a live-action adaptation of the classic anime shooting in Australia. According to project details, Sweeney stars alongside Noah Centineo in the military-sci-fi feature. Upon wrapping production, Sweeney flew to Queenstown for a weekend of extreme sports, visiting the Nevis Valley where she rode a cliffside swing suspended 134 meters above the canyon floor. Video shared on her official Instagram account captured her screaming as the swing launched over the drop.
Bungee Jumping and High-Risk Ambitions
The weekend’s itinerary also included a tandem bungee jump with Scooter Braun, with cameras recording the two holding tightly to each other above the water. Noah Centineo completed a solo jump shortly after, while the group’s activities extended to a helicopter flight, archery, and an evening of singing, accompanied by Sweeney’s caption reading “skipped over to Queenstown.” The actor’s appetite for extreme sports mirrors past stunts, including a skydive last year that followed a late night out with cousins until 3 a.m. prior to a 6 a.m. jump, an event she discussed during an appearance with host Stephen Colbert. When asked about her state during the jump, Sweeney told Colbert, “I was a little worried something was going to come out, yeah. I wouldn’t have been the only thing falling from the sky.”
Career Ambitions and Stunt Work Parallels
Sweeney’s attraction to high-risk activities translates directly into her professional goals. Following a social media post comparing her to Tom Cruise for “saving movies,” Sweeney expressed a desire to perform her own stunts. “I want to do all my stunts like Tom Cruise, I want to do everything, a thousand percent,” Sweeney stated in response to the comparison, adding, “I’m such an adrenaline junkie, I would do all of that.” Her partner, Scooter Braun, shares a similar affinity for high-intensity pursuits. The pair have been closely linked since their relationship began in September 2025 following the end of Sweeney’s previous engagement, with reports indicating they first met at the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.
