  • Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney will be parodied on the Israeli satire show "Eretz Nehederet."
  • Michelle Pro will portray Sydney Sweeney on the program.
  • Sweeney is reportedly considering converting to Judaism.
  • She has been linked to music industry figure Scooter Braun.
  • Sweeney also recently faced criticism for a revealing advertisement.

Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney, known for "Euphoria" and "The White Lotus," is set to be parodied on the Israeli satirical program "Eretz Nehederet" (A Wonderful Country) on Keshet 12. Actress and content creator Michelle Pro will portray Sweeney in the upcoming season premiere. This follows recent media attention surrounding Sweeney, including reports that she is considering converting to Judaism. These reports emerged due to her relationship with Jewish music industry figure Scooter Braun, and alleged meetings with rabbis to explore conversion. Sweeney and Braun were also reportedly seen at Rosh Hashanah services in Connecticut, though Sweeney has not confirmed any plans to convert.

In addition to the conversion rumors, Sweeney recently drew criticism for a revealing advertising campaign for the company Novig, where she appeared nude, covering herself with sports equipment. The ad was criticized online, particularly by female athletes who accused it of objectifying women.

This is not Michelle Pro's first time portraying Sweeney. For the recent Purim holiday, Pro dressed as the Hollywood star, inspired by a controversial denim advertisement. Pro has also appeared on "Eretz Nehederet" previously, but this marks her return to impersonate Sweeney, who has been a frequent subject of headlines.
