Sydney Sweeney posts high intensity workout video after body shaming comments

Sydney Sweeney has posted a response to comments she received online about her body and appearance.

The “Euphoria” star took to Instagram on Friday to post a video of her working out diligently in a boxing gym, apparently reacting to body-shaming comments she featured at the front of the clip. The actress also named Christy Martin in the video, the famous female boxer who she plays in an upcoming biopic.

The video starts with a flurry of comments about her appearance, including calling her “pretty creepy” and saying her “body isn’t that incredible.”

After a few moments of on-screen commentary, the video cuts to shots of Sweeney training in a boxing gym. She is seen punching a punching bag, working with a trainer and flipping a large tire in an exercise.

Sweeney is also seen in several clips practicing her punch form. At one point, the video cuts to a sign that reads “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” The video also includes several shots of Sweeney bowing to the camera.

Celebrity friends of Sweeney, including Madison Bailey and Glen Powell, shared words of encouragement for the actress and supported her by commenting on the video she posted on Instagram in response to the body-shaming comments.

At the end of the video, the name “Christy Martin” flashed, a nod to the role Sweeney portrays in the upcoming biopic about the famous female boxer.

“The film tells the incredible true story of the formidable Christy Martin, who rose to fame as America’s most successful female boxer in the 1990s,” read a description of the film, which was announced in May.

Sweeney also posted the video to her Instagram story with the caption, “Christy Martin Strong.”

Sweeney recently posted on social media to celebrate the end of shooting the biopic.

“It has been one of the most emotional, transformative experiences of my life. Christy’s journey is so deeply inspiring and having her by my side during this process has been nothing short of surreal,” she wrote in an Instagram post in November.
