Sydney Sweeney went through a full body transformation while filming her new movie — and THIS is how she did it!
In case you didn’t hear, the controversial actress is currently starring in Christy, a biopic about iconic female boxer Christy Martin. For the role, Syd had to pack on the pounds and gain a lot of muscle to be able to play a super buff athlete. You can see the trailer (below):
She told People on Monday she gained the weight by “eating so much food” — stacking the calories with everything from fast food to protein shakes:
“When I was training, it was really hard to put on all the weight. I was eating so much food. Like, everything you could possibly imagine. And then I was downing protein shake after protein shake and taking a lot of creatine, which just makes you bloat.”
But of course for her next role she wasn’t supposed to be a super buff boxer! So she had to drop that weight FAST!

She went on to reveal the trick on how she lost it all after filming wrapped! And no, unlike a lot of Hollywood stars, she didn’t go the Ozempic route to shed pounds. She explained the main route for taking off this particular kind of weight? Just STOP THE CALORIE INTAKE:
“[I] stopped all of that. When you stop working out and taking all your protein shakes, you lose muscle super fast. It’s the first thing to go before fat. So, that, I dropped within two weeks.”
Yeah, any bodybuilder will tell you those kinds of gains are hard to put on and easy to lose, sadly. But the extra fat? That’s another story.
The White Lotus star said for shedding the rest of the pounds, she had to develop a strict, “super clean diet” and do “a lot of cardio”. Of course, she’s also still 28 years old and extremely active. Needless to say, her “metabolism works really well” so it wasn’t so hard for her:
“I don’t want to say this is super easy. But I’ve been a very active person my entire life. Like, I was a super active kid, and I’ve always kind of just stayed active and always had a good metabolism. I can gain weight, but I can lose it too.”
She did all this within just seven weeks, y’all! Sydney had to rush off the Christy set and get right to filming Euphoria and The Housemaid. This was quite the challenge, so the she said “this might be the one and only” time she pushes her body to its limits like this for a movie role.
Of course, sadly for her, not too many people went to see it. The film ended up getting an extremely low per-screen average in the packed movie weekend. Something tells us that’s less about the rejection of Christy’s powerful true story and more about Sydney’s story these days…
