“Euphoria” actress Sydney Sweeney revealed that she gained about 13 kg during her physical preparation to portray Christy Martin, the legendary American boxer.
“My body was completely different,” Sydney Sweeney told W Magazine, which shared more details about her body transformation.
“None of my clothes fit. I usually wear size 23 jeans, and I was wearing size 27. I thought: ‘Oh my God.’ But it was amazing — I was so strong, really strong,” she commented enthusiastically.
“I started eating more. I did an hour of weight training in the morning, about two hours of kickboxing in the afternoon, and another hour of weight training at night,” Sydney Sweeney detailed about her training routine.
The actress gave a small preview of her transformation into Christy Martin in a 2024 Instagram post.
Sydney Sweeney wore a dark wig, brown contact lenses, sweatpants, and a tank top to show off her strong arms.
“In the past few months, I’ve thrown myself into training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman — a true champion who fought battles both in and out of the ring,” she wrote.
The title of the film has not yet been revealed. The movie tells the story of the beginning of Christy Martin’s career, who became the first female boxing star in the United States.
She fought from 1989 until the mid-2010s and became world champion in the super welterweight division under the World Boxing Council (WBC) in 2009.
