Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleSydney Sweeney is one of Hollywood's most talented actresses. The Housemaid star is known for her glamorous roles on-screen, and her talent knows no bounds. Apart from her beauty, Sydney is also known for her dedication to her craft. The actress underwent a complete transformation for boxing legend Christy Martin’s biopic, Christy.
Sydney Sweeney gained 34 pounds and looked unrecognizable
For the biopic, Sydney Sweeney underwent a huge transformation. From her diet to her physical training, the actress changed everything about her. In an interview with a leading publication, her trainer, Grant Roberts, revealed that the petite, 5-foot-3-inch actress committed to gaining more than 30 pounds and reshaping her body into a champion's physique.
Roberts stated that in the 34-pound mark weight that Sydney had put, two-third of it was muscle. Roberts and Sydney trained in a makeshift area, where the first six weeks focused on building her body. However, Sydney’s athleticism came as a surprise to Roberts. Speaking to Variety, Sydney said she felt stronger after the transformation and credited her trainers. In her words:
“I really enjoyed being able to train and work with incredible boxing coaches, weight trainers, and nutritionists who helped me get to the place that I was for Christy. But it was incredible being able to completely embody such a powerful woman. I felt even stronger. It was truly inspiring.”
Sydney Sweeney was put on a high-protein diet
Apart from workouts, Sydney’s whole diet was changed. She was asked to gorge on food to meet her protein goal. She was fed a lot of shakes to bulk up her body, as Roberts said that protein was the foundation of every single meal. Roberts also stated that it was not about how much she was eating; it was about when she was eating. Every element of Sydney's day — training, meals, recovery — was precisely timed.
The actress increased her calorie intake by consuming a huge amount of supplements. Around week five of training, Sweeney had already gained 20 pounds. Revealing how Sydney reacted to her weight gain, Roberts said:
“Her face, I couldn't tell if it was joy or fear, but she was just shocked to see the needle on that scale go up so high. She had dense shoulders, and her back was developing. We put 4 inches on her glutes alone, and she was loving that part of it."
Every day of her training was scheduled — training, choreography, nutrition, recovery. But she never quit or complained. After the intense training of 12 weeks, Sydney was completely transformed, so much that she was almost unrecognizable. Her resilience paved the way, and she completely transformed herself into Christy Martin.
When filming wrapped, Roberts also helped Sweeney transition back to her natural size. While traveling after filming wrapped, Sweeney restricted her diet, something Roberts shared isn't his preferred method, but it ultimately balanced out well for her. Speaking about Sydney’s weight loss later, Roberts said:
“People assume going back down is easy. But it takes as much discipline as putting the weight on."
