Sydney Sweeney revealed the hardest part of portraying famous boxer Christy Martin in Christy. Physically, the Euphoria star had to gain 30 pounds and practice boxing techniques, which is strenuous at times. However, to Sweeney, training was a breeze because she enjoyed it.
“I enjoyed that. I had a blast doing that. It was a lot of hard work,” Sweeney said. “It was 2 1/2 months of training every single day. I put on 35 pounds. And then when you’re filming, you’re still having to keep up that transformation and that workout regime.”
The trickiest part of her role was making sure Martin’s story was told in the most accurate way through her acting chops.
“I think that it was honestly the responsibility,” Sweeney said. “I knew how important Christy’s story was and how much this movie is going to mean to people. And I think the weight of that responsibility was the hardest part,” Sweeney told ABC.
