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 claims Disney banned her from singing ‘Hannah Montana' songs after series ended
Miley Cyrus was apparently not allowed to have 'The Best of Both Worlds.' The 32-year-old pop superstar has revealed that Disney allegedly banned her from singing 'Hannah Montana' songs after her series ended in 2011. 'After I left Disney, I wasn't allowed to perform any of the 'Hannah Montana' music,' Cyrus said on 'The Ringer' podcast. Advertisement 5 Miley Cyrus attended the Tribeca Festival premiere of her short film 'Something Beautiful' at NYC's Beacon Theatre. That meant that the singer had to say goodbye to hits such as 'Nobody's Perfect' and 'He Could Be the One' as well as 'The Best of Both Worlds,' which was the theme song of 'Hannah Montana.' (However, she could still perform 'The Climb,' which was featured in 2009's 'Hannah Montana: The Movie.') At the time, Cyrus was already moving in a different, less Disney-friendly direction with her new label, RCA, that would result in 2013's 'Bangerz' LP. So, performing 'Hanna Montana' material that she had outgrown didn't feel right for her anymore. Advertisement 5 Miley Cyrus starred as 'Hannah Montana' on her Disney Channel series from 2006 to 2011. 'It's not like I wanted to,' she said. 'I mean, performing 'The Best Of Both Worlds' between 'We Can't Stop' and 'Wrecking Ball' wouldn't have really made sense.' Still, having become a teen sensation playing Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel series from 2006 to 2011, it was strange for Cyrus to cut the chord from those tunes that shaped her TV identity. 'It was still sad knowing those songs have my voice, my face, and I wasn't allowed to sing them,' she said. Advertisement 5 Miley Cyrus performed a private show at Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel in New York last week. Vijat Mohindra Now, though, Cyrus is once again allowed to sing 'Hannah Montana' songs if she so pleases. That all changed in August 2024, when she was inducted as a Disney Legend during a ceremony at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. 'After being inducted as a Disney Legend, I was given permission to perform those songs in the future, which is pretty cool,' she told 'The Ringer.' The Post reached out to Disney for comment. Advertisement Fourteen years after the end of 'Hannah Montana,' Cyrus is a Grammy-winning veteran who is back with her ninth studio album, 'Something Beautiful,' which was released two weeks ago. She premiered the short film that accompanies her new LP at the Tribeca Festival on Friday night. 5 Former 'Hannah Montana' star Miley Cyrus was inducted as a Disney Legend in August 2024. 5 Miley Cyrus was heckled at the Tribeca Festival premiere of her short film 'Something Beautiful' by some fans who were under the impression that she would perform at the event. However, during the conversation portion of the night at NYC's Beacon Theatre, the 'Flowers' singer was heckled by some fans who were seemingly under the impression that Cyrus would be performing at the event. 'We thought this was a concert, we paid $800,' one person shouted at her after the 55-minute film screening. 'Are you actually going to sing?' another person asked. Cyrus, who hasn't performed live extensively since her last big tour for 'Bangerz' in 2014, eventually gave in and sang an a cappella rendition of 'The Climb.'

‘White Lotus' star is considering ditching her New York retreat — due to soaring renovation costs
For nearly two decades, actress Parker Posey has cultivated an off-screen identity as a self-described 'lady of the land' in New York's affluent Hudson Valley, retreating from New York City to a 16-acre spread along the Hudson River. But rising renovation costs may soon put an end to her upstate experiment. Posey, 56, revealed on the 'Smartless' podcast — hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett — that she's contemplating selling the farmhouse she bought in 2007 for $650,000 and heading back to Los Angeles. 6 Actress Parker Posey is considering selling her rustic farmhouse in New York's Hudson Valley and returning to Los Angeles due to ballooning renovation costs. HBO 'I don't know if I should say bye to the renovation, because it's so expensive, and if I should just sell it and move somewhere else,' she told the hosts. The property, which includes a barn, a resort-style pool, a pond and a gazebo was meant to be a private, pastoral escape. But its charm has come with a steep price tag. Posey described her home as 'really crunchy granola' and said she's been overwhelmed by the costs and complexity of upgrading it. 'I am trying to renovate and get a new kitchen because there's the insulation, you know the pipes freeze and all that; and I love a project, but I don't look at my house and think it's mine,' she said. 6 Posey, 56, bought the 16-acre property in 2007 for $650,000 as a serene escape from city life. Google Earth The actress, known for her roles in 'Dazed and Confused,' 'The Daytrippers' and 'Party Girl,' noted that while she cherishes the rural setting, maintaining the home without the support of a city base has been difficult. 'I couldn't carry both the city and the country, so I got rid of the city and now I'm putting bird seed in the feeders,' she quipped. Her current renovation dilemma has sparked some creative brainstorming. Posey floated the idea of filming her contractors for a television series. 6 In a recent interview on the 'Smartless' podcast, she described the home as 'crunchy granola' and revealed that necessary upgrades — like insulation and a new kitchen — have become financially overwhelming. Instagram/itsparkerposey 'I would love to do a home improvement show,' she said, adding that she asked her contractors if she could film them on her phone. Beyond her real estate concerns, Posey used the podcast to reflect on the arc of her acting career and how she struggled to transition from indie darling to mainstream star. 'I felt like right when I got exposed, and the whole indie movement got exposed, it also got co-opted by the studio system, and then it became this other thing,' she said. 6 Joking about her life feeding birds and stewarding the land, Posey admitted she no longer feels fully connected to the home and has even thought about turning the project into an HGTV-style reality show to help fund it. Instagram/itsparkerposey 'All of a sudden, I wasn't viable to get a movie financed, and it was such a head trip because I would have to audition for Hollywood movies when I'd carried the lead in independent movies that were shot in 23 days.' Posey said she often felt boxed in by perceptions of her as 'too indie' for major studio films. 'I felt like I was called a name, in a way,' she added. Despite those challenges, 'The White Lotus' star continued working with acclaimed directors — often at the expense of larger paychecks. 6 The indie film icon also opened up about her early struggles in Hollywood, saying she felt 'gaslit' into thinking she wasn't fit for major studio roles after her breakout in 'The Daytrippers.' HBO 6 In recent years, she's sold off several Manhattan properties, including apartments in the East Village, Greenwich Village and Chelsea, possibly signaling a broader shift in lifestyle. Gregory Pace/Shutterstock 'Not getting paid a lot, but being able to work and fulfill my creativity,' she said. In recent years, Posey has steadily divested from New York City real estate. She sold her East Village loft in 2017 for $2.3 million, followed by a Greenwich Village apartment in 2016 for $1.45 million, and most recently, a Chelsea triplex in 2023 for $1.7 million. Now, as she weighs whether to remain rooted in her upstate retreat or head back to Hollywood, Posey says she's still searching for her place — both in the community and in her own home. 'I just want to give it so much because it's an old farmhouse,' she said. 'So I guess what I am saying is I am trying to figure out where I land in the community.'
