Sweeney was featured in an episode of “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” where she discussed her scary and hilarious on set experience. The scene featured Sweeney finding a giant spider on her co-star’s underwear. “They told me it was trained,” she said. I don't know how you train a freaking spider. There's no way.”

“So, we're filming, and then the thing just starts biting me,” said Sweeney. “But we're in the middle of the scene, and I'm supposed to be screaming, but then my screaming got a little serious. They thought I was making really serious dramatic choices in a rom-com. It was terrible. So no one cut. So I'm just standing there with this spider on my arm, biting me, and I'm screaming, and just everyone's watching."

Sweeney then showed a clip of herself getting bit by the spider. “That was, like, a soul scream. I thought I was gonna die. Well, I was like, ‘It's poisonous. I'm gonna die.’”
