10 Actors Who Totally Transformed Themselves For Upcoming Roles
2. Sydney Sweeney - Christy Martin Biopic
Sydney Sweeney seeks to expand from frothy genre vehicles with her next project - a biopic of legendary boxer Christy Martin.
As Sweeney has made clear on her socials, she isn't taking the assignment lightly, having spent months packing on muscle to convincingly portray the athlete.
Sweeney, typically known for her lithe figure, has shown off her well-toned guns on Instagram to the surprise of many, and in turn certainly persuaded most that she's going to do the part justice. In addition to this, Sweeney has also had her hair cut and dyed into a brown mullet to match Martin's own hairstyle from the period, which only further helps distance the actress from her typical look.
Not too much else is known about the biopic so far, but with David Michod (The Rover) directing, it should give us a truly transformative Sydney Sweeney performance like we've never seen before.
