Sydney Sweeney<\/a> packs a punch both on and off the screen.<\/p>\n

The “Euphoria” star shared how she transformed her body \u2014 and her grandmother\u2019s backyard \u2014 to prepare for her new movie, “Christy.”<\/p>\n

Sweeney portrays boxing trailblazer Christy Martin in the upcoming biopic, and said she gained 35 pounds to play the role, training like a professional fighter in her home state of Idaho<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It was so much fun though, because I grew up in Idaho with my family, and my grandma\u2019s my neighbor, and I turned her shed into my \u2018Rocky\u2019 gym,” Sweeney told “Good Morning America<\/a>.” “I put flooring in and boxing bags, and I brought my trainers up there, and I had a boxing coach and a weight trainer. And every single day I would weight train in the morning and night, then I’d box for like two or three hours a day.”<\/p>\n

Sweeney said she fueled her transformation with “protein shake after protein shake<\/a>,” and the intense regimen even led to some battle scars on set.<\/p>\n

“We were knocking each other out, we were getting bloody noses, I got a concussion,” she admitted. “We were actually fighting.”<\/p>\n

The actress said her connection to the story went deeper than the physical challenge.<\/p>\n

“[Christy] was a professional boxer who came up during a time when women in the sport were unpopular,” Sweeney said. “She was a trailblazer for women boxers. She ends up marrying her trainer \u2026 who unfortunately manipulates her, and she becomes a victim of domestic violence. And when she tries to leave him for the love of her life, who was a woman, he shoots and stops her.”<\/p>\n

The true story of Martin \u2014 known as “The Coal Miner\u2019s Daughter” \u2014 captivated Sweeney, who also serves as a producer on the film.<\/p>\n

“I remember when I got on the first Zoom with the director, I said, \u2018I don\u2019t care, I want to produce this, I just want to be a part of telling her story,’ because I think that, like Christy says, she wants it to save lives, and I want to be a part of telling that and hopefully opening doors for other people.”<\/p>\n

She added, “It’s unbelievable. I wanted to lose myself for this.”<\/p>\n

And to make the experience even more surreal, the real Christy Martin was on set watching Sweeney step into her gloves.<\/p>\n

“It was so fun having her there, especially when we were doing the fighting scenes,” Sweeney said. “I could hear her at the bottom of the ring going, \u2018Hit her with a left hook!\u2019 Like, \u2018You know what I\u2019m going to do, Christy!\u2019”<\/p>\n

The “Anyone But You” actress turned heads Tuesday as she stepped out in Manhattan<\/a>, wearing a short leather trench jacket \u2014 and nothing underneath.<\/p>\n

The star\u2019s eye-catching ensemble featured a nude leather Sportmax trench coat styled as a dress, matching knee-high boots and a Miu Miu bag. She completed the bold look with tinted sunglasses.<\/p>\n

Sweeney, who rose to fame for her role in “Euphoria,” portrayed Cassie Howard, a high school student known for her complex relationships and struggles with self-worth and validation.<\/p>\n

She even teased what\u2019s next for the upcoming third season of “Euphoria,” saying, “The only thing I can say is it\u2019s about God. Some people are going to find God, some are going to need God.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
