Sydney Sweeney is a boxer in latest Sports Illustrated photoshoot.
Sydney Sweeney has officially entered her “I can do everything” era, and her latest Sports Illustrated photoshoot proves it. This time, she’s not behind the wheel of a classic car or starring in a dramatic TV scene. No! She’s a boxer now.
Sports Illustrated rolled out the photos, and fans instantly acted like they discovered a new Olympic sport: “Sweeney Boxing.”
The ‘Euphoria‘ star played the titular role as Martin, the former American female boxer who was a pioneer for women in the sport and later was nearly murdered by her manager-turned-husband, James.
In the cover story, Sweeney described meeting Martin and how she learned of her journey through the ranks of boxing and her days out of the ring – leading up to being stabbed and shot multiple times by James, but still surviving.
‘I was very surprised I didn’t know who she was,’ the 28-year-old Sweeney – who wore a diamond tennis necklace from Brilliant Earth on the cover – told the outlet.
She added, ‘When I actually got to meet her and get to know her, it’s so inspiring to see how caring and delightful and full of happiness and joy that she is, even though she’s overcome so much.
‘The person she is now—it reminds me that no matter what happens, if you always lead with kindness, then you’re on the right path.’
Sydney Sweeney really geared up for the movie.
‘I knew that if I kept training in L.A. or anywhere else, people would start taking photos of me,’ she said.
‘I wanted to go home. I could disappear, not worry about the outside world and just fully immerse myself in it.’
Overall, the photoshoot is a hit, the internet is entertained, and Sydney Sweeney has unlocked yet another skill set nobody was expecting.
