Sydney Sweeney reveals physical transformation in preparation for 'The Female Rocky' role
Sydney Sweeney is stepping into the boxing ring—on screen. The Euphoria star will portray legendary fighter Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic, embracing a physical and emotional transformation to prepare for the role.
Speaking to Deadline, Sweeney said:
"I grappled and did kickboxing from 12-19 years old. I’ve been itching to get back into the ring, train, and transform my body. Christy’s story isn’t a light one, it’s physically and emotionally demanding, there’s a lot of weight to carry. But I love challenging myself."
Sweeney called Martin’s story both powerful and emotional:
"Christy Martin not only legitimized female boxing, she overcame gender stereotypes, and fought through emotional, physical, and financial abuse. I’m passionate about the fighting world, Christy’s story shines a light on her incredible rise to the top while showing the struggles of fame behind the curtains. I feel compelled to tell a story about a woman who faced so much adversity and didn’t allow it to defeat her. It’s powerful, and emotional." [h/t: Deadline]
