Sydney Sweeney’s movie flop sparks cruel remark about her body from plus-size model

Sydney Sweeney’s latest film Christy flopped at the box office and plus-size model Ella Halikas claimed it was because the star didn’t show enough skin.

In the film, 28-year-old Sydney plays Hall of Fame boxer Christy Martin; This role is completely different from her sexy blonde bombshell image.

When asked if the film underperformed because it did not have Sweeney’s ‘usual half-naked role’, Halikas said: TMZ‘One thing I will say is that I think she’s made a mark for herself with a lot of her roles, showing skin, showing ta ta’s, feeling hot and beautiful, and people recognize her.’

“When you cover up more and you’re not in that role, it’s like, ‘We don’t know what to do with this,’ right,” the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model said.

“I feel like you’ve almost branded yourself as the beautiful woman that they’re going to see that body on screen, if they don’t and it’s a different role for her, I feel like maybe you miss the crowd or the audience that way,” Halikas added.

Halikas modeled in campaigns for JCPenney and Snapchat before rising to prominence as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model in 2021.

Sydney Sweeney’s (28) latest film Christy flopped at the box office and plus-size model Ella Halikas (right) claimed it was because the star didn’t show enough skin.

Over the weekend, Sweeney’s new film Christy, which was among the 12 worst movies ever released on more than 2,000 screens, grossed a paltry $1.3 million after its 2011 theatrical release; an average of $649 per venue. Winding.

Responding to her critics, Sydney wrote on Instagram on Monday: ‘I’m so proud of this movie. I’m proud of the film David made. I’m proud of the story we told…’

‘I’m proud to represent someone as strong and resilient as Christy Martin. This experience has been one of the greatest honors of my life…’

‘This film represents survival, courage and hope. Through our campaigns, we have helped raise the awareness of many people affected by domestic violence. “We all signed on to this film with the belief that Christy’s story could save lives…”

‘I would like to thank everyone who saw this story, felt it, believed it and will believe it in the years to come. If Christy gives even one woman the courage to take her first step toward safety, then we will have succeeded. So yes, I’m proud…’

‘From where? Because we don’t always make art just for numbers, we do it for impact. and Christy has been the most impressive project of my life. Thank you Christie. I love you.’

The controversy came to a head this year when it was revealed that Sidney was a registered Republican voter and had starred in the controversial American Eagle jeans ad, which some called racist due to a pun linking ‘jeans’ and ‘genes’.

Both of these arguments seem to be greatly at odds with most views in Hollywood.

Perhaps he was hoping to take a break from the noise surrounding his personal life with the release of his new boxing biopic Christy, but that didn’t go so well either.

While promoting the film in an interview last Friday, Martin said he was so invested in his role that he dealt with injuries such as nosebleeds and a concussion.

The Emmy-nominated actor told Sun He talked about how he and his co-stars approached fight scenes during the making of the film. “The girls you see and all the fights are real,” the Spokane, Washington-born star said.

Sweeney told the press: ‘When I went in and met everyone I said, ‘I want you to hit me.’ And I want you to hit me hard. So can I hit you?”

He added, ‘When you watch all these fights, we’re actually hitting each other. We were knocking each other down, our noses were bleeding. I bought [a] concussion. ‘We were actually fighting.’

Sweeney said: ‘Every day I walked onto the set with a crew who poured their heart and soul into this story. ‘I fought alongside a group of women who became my family.

‘We worked harder than we thought we could and we would end up singing our hearts out in the ring.’

Sweeney paid tribute to Martin, who he said inspired everyone in the film to ‘step into our power’.

“Her story has made us fight harder for ourselves and for every woman who has ever been silenced,” Sweeney said. ‘This movie was painful, joyful, resilient, beautiful, everything.’

Sweeney’s new movie, Christy, grossed just $1.3 million after opening in 2,011 theaters over the weekend — an average of $649 per venue, according to The Wrap.

The actor took to his Instagram account on Monday and shared a passionate post about the film.

The controversy came to a head this year when it was revealed that Sidney was a registered Republican voter and had starred in the controversial American Eagle jeans commercial, which some called racist because of a pun linking “jeans” and “genes.”

Christy, Don King’s first female client, came into the national spotlight in March 1996 when she won the World Boxing Council women’s lightweight title against Deirdre Gogarty in a bloody match in Las Vegas.

Nicknamed the Coal Miner’s Daughter, Christy was on the undercard of the 1997 match in which Mike Tyson famously bit off Evander Holyfield’s ear.

She is also the only female boxer to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine.

She also fought Laila Ali, daughter of late boxing icon Muhammad Ali, in a high-profile bout in 2003, where Laila knocked her out.
