Sydney Sweeney clapped back at trolls with a gym montage in response to rude comments about candid shots of her in a bikini, which hit the internet last week. In the clip, Sweeney shows the gains she’s earned in preparation for her starring role in a Christy Martin biopic. She’s undergone intensive training to tone her body to play the legendary women’s boxer, which should put any hateful claims she’s out of shape to rest.
Sydney Sweeney responds to suggestions she “hit the gym” with a workout montage
Sydney Sweeney recently responded to harsh online comments about candid bikini photos taken by paparazzi during her time in the Florida Keys. She posted a video on Instagram that featured a compilation of hateful remarks directed at her appearance, along with screenshots of the commenters’ usernames. The foul responses included statements about her body and face, questioning her fitness level, and attracting negative attention to her figure.
After showcasing the criticisms, Sweeney ended her video with footage of her intense training regime at the gym. She included clips of pushing heavy tires, lifting weights, and practicing boxing moves. This physical preparation is part of her preparation to portray boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic. The training footage appeared to directly counter claims that she should “hit the gym,” as some commenters suggested. Sweeney’s post prompted supportive messages from fellow celebrities and co-stars urging her to ignore hateful remarks made by anonymous users who are jealous of her success.
The 27-year-old actor rose to prominence with her performance as Cassie in Euphoria and has faced public scrutiny about her body before. Despite this, she’s remained positive about her looks. She has previously addressed negative remarks, and this latest post reinforces that she sees and acknowledges the harsh words but does not let them define her.
