In a striking transformation for her role in the upcoming biopic about legendary boxer Christy Martin, Sydney Sweeney reportedly gained over 30 pounds. The actress, known for her versatility, committed to an intense training regimen and a significant increase in her food intake to embody the character authentically.
Sweeney shared insights about her transformation in a recent interview with W Magazine. She described her rigorous schedule, which included an hour of weight training in the mornings, followed by two hours of kickboxing in the middle of the day, and another hour of weight training in the evenings. This dedication led to a dramatic change in her physique, with Sweeney noting that she had to size up from her usual size 23 jeans to a size 27, commenting humorously on her increased bust and curvier appearance.
Interestingly, after completing her role as Martin, Sweeney rapidly shed the weight in just seven weeks to prepare for her ongoing role as Cassie in the acclaimed HBO series Euphoria.
The anticipated biopic, which will be directed by David Michôd, is awaiting an official title and release date. Sweeney’s recent discussions about her collaboration with Dr. Squatch soap have also garnered attention, showcasing her diverse interests beyond acting.
Sweeney’s commitment to her roles highlights the dedication required in the entertainment industry, inspiring many to pursue their goals with similar passion and determination.
