Sydney Sweeney Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Sydney Sweeney has had a whirlwind week of news, public appearances, and viral moments that prove her status as one of Hollywood’s most watched stars. Fresh out of last week’s Toronto International Film Festival, Sweeney is trending for her lead role in the Christy Martin boxing biopic. Speaking to Vanity Fair and The Independent, she described gaining thirty pounds and sustaining real bruises and concussions while training to authentically portray the legendary fighter. Sweeney said the physical transformation was empowering and made her feel “Christy’s power,” even as it left her nervous with Martin herself on set. The biopic Christy, already generating Oscar buzz, is slated for UK and Irish theaters this November, with a US release expected to follow.
The Christy Martin film also gave Sweeney a chance to dodge the continuing fallout from the controversial American Eagle “Great Jeans” campaign. After remaining silent on the matter for almost three weeks, Fox News and AOL Entertainment report that Sydney made her subtle return to social media by posting Instagram shots in oversized jeans and a white crop top, surrounded by friends during a karaoke night out. The move came after heavy online backlash against the American Eagle ads, which some critics accused of having problematic undertones. American Eagle firmly defended the campaign, clarifying its intent to celebrate self-expression and style, but discussion has continued across mainstream outlets like Salon and social feeds everywhere. Sweeney herself shut down campaign-related questions at the film premiere, stating her focus was on “supporting the movie and the people involved in making it,” and not ready to address debate about her “jeans.” Her brother joined in the fun by making a winking “Good Jeans” joke after his Air Force promotion.
On the business side, BoredPanda and The Hollywood Reporter highlight Sweeney’s expanding empire. Not only did she become the global face for Laneige and appear in major campaigns for Miu Miu, Armani, and Jimmy Choo—whose behind-the-scenes posts drew thousands of likes in the last 24 hours—she’s also rumored (via Us Weekly and Puck) to be building her own lingerie brand with support from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. Summer also saw wild creative ventures, including a playful partnership with Dr. Squatch for a Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss soap, and a signature Baskin-Robbins flavor launch.
Social and legacy media alike note that Sweeney remains unruffled by criticism and viral trends. When Variety asked how she felt about constantly being a trending topic, she just laughed and said she’s now “amused the public is still paying attention.” With Euphoria Season 3, a Kim Novak biopic, and a starring role in The Housemaid on the horizon, Sweeney is clearly not slowing down.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration.

Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero.
