Sydney Sweeney stuns at TIFF as her unrecognizable Christy role makes world premiere debut

Sydney Sweeney is back to bombshell.The 27-year-old actress made jaws drop at the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) on Friday, flaunting her show-stopping curves in a daring pale pink gown and plunging neckline ahead of the world premiere of her newest film, “Christy.”Sweeney transformed back to her hourglass self after gaining over 30 pounds to play boxing icon Christy Martin in the upcoming sports biography.The “Euphoria” star ditched her signature blonde locks for a curly, brown mullet to channel the WBC super welterweight champion.The unrecognizable look was first displayed in October, when images of Sweeney on the Charlotte, North Carolina, set found their way online.Her incredible physical transformation continued to be on display in the first-look photos from the biopic’s set, showing her channeling Martin, 57.Sweeney bulked up to take on the role.She trained for over three months, with her fitness routine including boxing and weightlifting for several hours a day.She also worked closely with a nutritionist, packing on between 30 and 35 pounds.The actress refused to use a stunt double for the role, walking away from fight scenes with bruises and concussions during filming.“Every single fight you see, we are actually punching each other.We are going full force.

I always believed that you would not be able to make it feel real if it’s a stunt double or if it’s faking the hits,” Sweeney told Vanity Fair in an interview published on Thursday, Sept.4.It was announced in May 2024 that Sweeney would be portraying Martin, who made her boxing debut in 1989.The biopic, which made its world debut on Friday, will follow all the ups and downs of Martin’s troubling life.Martin became one of America’s most successful female boxers of the 1990s after taking on Deirdre Gogarty in front of a sold-out crowd at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand in March 1996.She became the first female boxer to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated the following month.
