  • The 27-year-old trained hard to star in a biopic about boxer Christy Martin.


Sydney Sweeney is fighting back against swimsuit body shamers—literally.

Let’s back up a sec: Last week, the Daily Mail and a few other publications published paparazzi photos of the 27-year-old hanging out at her waterfront mansion in the Florida Keys. In the photos, Sydney can be seen hanging out by the pool in a purple swimsuit doing some pretty normal activities, like walking around, adjusting her top, and fixing her hair.

Naturally, some people went bonkers on Reddit, picking apart Sydney’s appearance while she was minding her own business in her own home.

Instead of ignoring the ridiculous comments, the Euphoria star decided to post them on Instagram. Some of the gems include things like, “She knocked up? Stung by a nest of wasps? Dive into a swimming pool full of donuts and chips? Good grief man!” and “Quite frumpy, isn’t she?”

After scrolling through a ton of these comments, the video shifts to footage of Sydney doing all kinds of badass exercises, like boxing, flipping massive tires, boxing, and lifting weights like a total pro.

At the very end, the video shares one name: Christy Martin. Why? Sydney trained to play the professional boxer in an upcoming biopic. The movie is currently in post-production, according to IMDB, but doesn’t have a publicly-shared release date or official title just yet.

And while Sydney clearly worked hard to prep for this movie, she's no stranger to being active. She previously told Women’s Health that she loves slalom waterskiing.

“It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she said. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun.”

Sydney also loves hiking with her dog, Tank, and did mixed martial arts (MMA) for years, she told WH. Running and strength training are in the mix, too. Plus, she's a big fan of Solidcore, the full-body Pilates workout.

“It’s one of the greatest workouts you could do, it's so challenging,” she said. “It just makes me feel so toned and strong, but also elongated, and I feel so good doing that.”

Sydney's message to body shamers is pretty clear: Take a seat.
