Sydney Sweeney is completely unrecognizable, but for good reason. The actress is preparing to play a character whose body could not be more different from hers: boxer Christy Martin.
The well-known Australian filmmaker, David Michôd, will direct a biographical film about the boxing champion and Sydney Sweeney has been chosen to play this role.
On October 16, the ‘Euphoria’ star took to her Instagram page to share a glimpse of what’s to come.
“Here’s a little behind-the-scenes footage of the film I’m currently working on,” the actor captioned the post.
“For the past few months, I’ve been training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman – a true champion who fought battles
“I am honored to step into her shoes to share her powerful story with you,” she said.
In the photos shared by Sydney Sweeney, the actor plays the role of a boxer, with curly, dark hair and wearing sports clothes. It looks like she was still training to be fatter, which immediately betrays her well-muscled arms.
Christy Martin, now 56, was an icon of women’s boxing in the 90s, defying the gender norms of the time. She was the first woman to sign a contract with the famous promoter Don King, who is known for promoting fights between great sports champions, including Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
