Sydney Sweeney Put On More Than 30 Pounds for Christy Martin Biopic
The post Sydney Sweeney Put On More Than 30 Pounds for Christy Martin Biopic appeared first on Consequence.
For her role as pioneering female boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic, Sydney Sweeney went full Christian Bale, quickly and radically transforming her body to best fit the part.
'I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training,' Sweeney told W Magazine in a new cover story. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour.'
'My body was completely different,' she continued. 'I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, 'Oh my god' … But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong.'
According to W, Sweeney then dropped the weight in just seven weeks to reprise her role as Cassie in the new season of the hit HBO series Euphoria.
A proper title and release date for the David Michôd-directed biopic have yet to be announced. Sweeney is also recently made headlines thanks to her unique, we'll call it, collaboration with Dr. Squatch soap.

Miley Cyrus breaks down how she mended ‘messy' family relationships after decade of drama
She doesn't always come in like a wrecking ball. Miley Cyrus described how she mended her 'messy' family's relationships after a decade of drama — without getting a therapist involved. 'We're so messy, we didn't even do any of that,' the former Disney Channel star, 32, joked to Monica Lewinsky on Tuesday's episode of the 'Reclaiming' podcast. 'Just to get each other into a room to get to counseling would have been a war,' the 'Hannah Montana' alum explained of their 'really difficult … dark decade.' The singer noted that 'half of [her family members] weren't speaking to each other at one point,' clarifying that she 'had a lot of loyalty to' mom Tish Cyrus amid her divorce from dad Billy Ray Cyrus. The former couple, notably, called it quits in 2022 after welcoming Miley, son Braison, 31, and daughter Noah, 25. They each also had children from previous romances. Billy Ray is the father of son Cody, 33, and adopted Tish's eldest two children — Brandi, 38, and Trace, 36 — after they wed in 1993. Throughout her parents' on-again, off-again relationship, Miley 'watched what happens when you don't clean things up as they're happening.' She said, 'They really do stack. And then all of the sudden you go, 'Oh my God, it's been 10 years and this is a mess I barely even know how to start. This is emotional hoarding.'' The actress broke down how she 'cleaned all that up' and spent 'a really important part of [her] year … putting those lines of communication back together.' She recalled, 'I just kind of busted through the pile that stacked and just [went], 'I'm here, you're here, let's start by having a good time together and then as we start bringing some happiness and joy into each other's life, then we'll be in a better place to have these conversations.'' Miley told listeners she'd 'rather get it balanced first,' noting that it 'was easier to [wave] a white flag' than pursue counseling. The 'Last Song' star prefers others to decide they 'like the way she's functioning' and attempt to 'mimic' it. Miley revealed she will be tackling her family drama on her next album, dropping the title of one track 'Secrets.' The song, she said, is about wanting her dad 'to feel safe enough to tell [her] the things that were damning and damaging to the family.' The performer is currently promoting her 'Something Beautiful' visual album, which debuted in May. Earlier that same month, Miley made headlines for reuniting with Billy Ray, 63, at Braison's birthday party. She went on to give her two cents on the country singer's viral romance with Elizabeth Hurley on the 'Interview' podcast. The songwriter said her 'adult self' understands that her dad, who divorced Firerose in 2024 after less than one year of marriage, is 'just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.' Tish, for her part, has been married to 'Prison Break' alum Dominic Purcell — who was allegedly seeing Noah prior to the romance — in 2023.

Miley Cyrus Fans Question Boyfriend's Reaction to Her Kiss
Miley Cyrus Fans Question Boyfriend's Reaction to Her Kiss originally appeared on Parade. Miley Cyrus has been seen out quite a bit since the release of her visual album Something Beautiful, most recentlywith her boyfriend by her side. The new album dropped on May 30, with the one-day theatrical release coming up on June 12. In the days leading up to the release and in the days since, we've seen a lot of Cyrus while she promotes the new project—and no one is mad about that. What fans do seem upset about, though, is the way the "Flowers" singer's boyfriend, Maxx Morando, is responding to her affection during a recent night out. Cyrus and Morando attended Vanity Fair's 2nd Annual Directors' Dinner on Thursday night, and she was kind enough to share some photos from the evening. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Cyrus captioned the carousel of photos by writing, "@vanityfair party last night was my favorite kind of party… meaningful, connected & glamorous + they played '1, 2 step.'" The photos featured Cyrus in a glorious chocolate-colored dress with a unique twisted-fabric bust line that made her the standout. There were six photos in total, with Morando posing in two of them. The one picture in question shows Cyrus giving her boyfriend a peck on the cheek as he looks off into the distance. His face is expressionless, and it's not clear what he's thinking. Fans are definitely weighing in on the interaction, and they don't seem pleased. "She just keeps on giving😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️," one fan said of Cyrus. Another took aim at Morando, writing, "why does he look like hes in pain every time you show him affection...." "Bc he actually is in pain knowing what kind of comments he'd get about his looks and age lol maybe it'd be better to stay friends with her? 😂," another suggested before tagging Morando. Yet another weighed in, "hes a good looking guy, but he seems always p--sed off whenever she shows him affection, i think she should move on, deserves better." The "Wrecking Ball" singer has been romantically linked to Liily drummer Maxx Morando since 2021. They first met on a blind date and then hit the red carpet together later that year for a Gucci event. The pair have managed to keep their relationship pretty quiet aside from being seen out together for events. But Cyrus' mom, Tish Cyrus, did go on record to say that she loves the "We Can't Stop" singer's told People in 2024, "He's cute. I think it shows just by looking at Miley, her face, and her smile at the Grammys, and just everything about her that she's in an amazing place. Miley is just so fulfilled in her life, and that everything's working out perfectly. That's all I'll say about Maxx!" So while some fans may not approve of the Hannah Montana star's boyfriend, he's got her mom's seal of approval, and that's what matters.

Trace Cyrus Takes Swipe at Billy Ray Cyrus as Family Feud Reignites
Trace Cyrus Takes Swipe at Billy Ray Cyrus as Family Feud Reignites originally appeared on Parade. It looks like Trace Cyrus might still be team Tish [Cyrus]. The 36-year-old rocker just took a major swipe at his dad, , that will be hard to come back from. It doesn't look like Trace cares much, though, as he seems to be done with his dad for good after dropping a scathing message on Instagram to call the country star out. The caption of the post was simply a clown emoji, and the comments are turned off. Over a photo of Billy Ray Cyrus, Trace wrote, "This man is so hungry for fame it's pathetic. He really flew to Italy for a fashion show but wouldn't come to LA for Mammie's funeral while he was still married to my mom. Even after his daughter got him a 60k private jet like he demanded then he still didn't come even after the plane was paid for." He continued in the rant against his father, "You're the lamest man to ever walk the planet earth. Honestly embarrassed to ever have considered you my idol. [clown emoji] The best thing to come from your downfall is it made me go into beast mode. I refuse to be a washed up, delusional, evil person when I'm old like you. Christ is king. Get right with God. You need it." Trace's tirade against Billy Ray may come as a surprise because the Cyrus family has been working to mend their broken relationships. opened up about the family feud and bringing everyone back together on the newest Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky podcast episode, which came out on June 10. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Miley said, "My family and I have had a really difficult… What did you call your decade? Dark decade. Yeah, we had one of those." The Something Beautiful singer went on to explain, "Half of us weren't speaking to each other at one point, and we cleaned all that up. That was a really important part of my year this year, was all of my family putting those lines of communication back together. A lot because of, you know, I had a lot of loyalty to my mom, the way that families do when parents get divorced.' It looks like there's more work to be done in order to heal the Cyrus family.
