Sydney Sweeney shares body-shaming comments that came during training to play boxer Christy Martin
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is a saying that’s a real thing.
Quite simply, what you find appealing, I might not. It used to be a little easier to understand, but then internet trolls came around.
But there’s another saying that’s a real thing, too: People are idiots.
And in that vein, actor Sydney Sweeney, one of Hollywood’s most definite “it” stars of the moment the past few years, has shared some of those idiots’ takes on her recent boxing training to play Hall of Famer Christy Martin.
Sweeney by most metrics – keeping that saying in the lead in mind – has entered the upper echelon of stardom in the entertainment world and is a regular fixture in advertisements and on social media. But she posted a video on Instagram showing some of the comments she’s gotten while training to play Martin, and suffice it to say … yeah: People are idiots.
We compiled the comments below since they flash through Sweeney’s video in a hurry.
Martin went 49-7-3 with 31 knockouts and in 2020 was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. The as-yet untiled biopic is being directed by David Michod, an Australian who directed the highly regarded 20120 Oscar-nominated “Animal Kingdom.”
Michod co-wrote the script for the Martin drama and is a producer, along with Sweeney, who stars with Ben Foster, Merritt Wever and Ethan Embry, among others.
The film is planned for a 2025 release and will come on the heels of “The Fire Inside,” a biopic about Claressa Shields out now that is garnering excellent reviews.
