Sydney Sweeney appears to be reveling in her workout regime … as she’s flexing her muscles in fresh images from the Christy Martin movie set.
The starlet posted a pair of snapshots early Wednesday to showcase her character’s evolution … mentioning that paparazzi images — snapped last week — have already ruined the reveal for fans, so she’s completely fine sharing the behind-the-scenes shots.
In the images, Sweeney sports a pair of charcoal sweatpants and a crimson tank top … proudly demonstrating her toned arms while flexing for the lens.
She has also transformed her hair to a rich brown, adding a slight curl too — a far cry from her usual sleek blonde hairstyle.
Sweeney expressed in her post that she’s thrilled to portray the authentic story of Christy Martin … praising the former champion for fighting tremendous challenges in and out of the ring.
The actress shared with Deadline how she was thrilled to undertake this new venture … mentioning she trained in grappling and kickboxing for nearly a decade — and is eager to return to the ring for more practice.
Unquestionably, Sydney received an offer for training from the actual woman she’s portraying … with Christy Martin herself offering to teach her the intricate skills of boxing to help her prepare for the role. It’s unclear if she took the advice of the former welterweight champ.
Sydney is joined by a talented cast including Ben Foster, Merritt Wever, Jess Gabor, Katy O’Brian, Ethan Embry, and Chad L. Coleman.
It seems that Sydney is completely reinventing her appearance for the upcoming film … and she’s geared up to impress her audience!
