Sydney Sweeney opens up about playing boxer Christy Martin in her new film and how she handles ongoing criticism about her physique in Hollywood.
Sydney Sweeney has never felt more free.
In a new interview with Variety, the 28-year-old actress — who is currently promoting the release of her upcoming film, «Christy» — opened up about navigating Hollywood both on screen and off, and explained how she manages to tune out the outside chatter about her physique.
«I am definitely a caged animal in a sense», she told the outlet, while describing her character — trailblazing boxer Christy Martin. «Acting is my ring. It’s where I feel freedom. The set is where everything else goes quiet.»
It’s off of the film set where Sweeney faces various challenges — including ongoing chatter about her body.
«I play a lot of very divisive characters, and I think that a lot of people think they know me, but they don’t», she told the outlet.
