Instead, she focused on her new film, highlighting the demanding work it required and her commitment to supporting the cast and crew behind it.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what we know about her comments, the role she is promoting, and the reaction they sparked at the festival.<\/p>\n Sydney Sweeney will attend the Toronto International Film Festival on September 5. She is premiering Christy, her new film about boxer Christy Martin.<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking to Vanity Fair<\/a>, Sydney Sweeney confirmed she would not address her recent American Eagle campaign backlash, stating, \u201cI am there to support my movie and the people involved in making it, and I\u2019m not there to talk about jeans.\u201d She added, \u201cThe movie\u2019s about Christy, and that\u2019s what I\u2019ll be there to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n Sweeney portrays Christy Martin, known as the \u201cCoal Miner\u2019s Daughter,\u201d who rose from West Virginia roots to become the most prominent female boxer of the 1990s. She said, \u201cI was blown away that her story wasn\u2019t more known on a universal, global level because it\u2019s just one of the most harrowing and inspiring women that I\u2019ve ever met in my entire life.\u201d<\/p>\n Director David Mich\u00f4d explained, \u201cOne of the things that drew me to this story was the idea of being able to make a movie that starts, in a way, as a beautiful, wild, underdog sports movie, but then starts to shift into something that\u2019s really harrowing and, ultimately, deeply moving.\u201d<\/p>\n For the role, Sweeney trained for months, gained 30 to 35 pounds, and endured concussions. \u201cEvery single fight you see, we are actually punching each other. We are going full force,\u201d she said. \u201cI always believed that you would not be able to make it feel real if it\u2019s a stunt double or if it\u2019s faking the hits.\u201d<\/p>\n Mich\u00f4d cowrote the film with Mirrah Foulkes after watching Untold: Deal With the Devil, a documentary on Martin. He emphasized the story\u2019s global relevance: \u201cIt\u2019s true all over the world that these relationships exist in epidemic proportions, and they too often frighteningly end up in partner homicide situations. It\u2019s a global emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n Originally reported by Vritti Johar on <\/em>ComingSoon.net<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Sydney Sweeney Won\u2019t Respond to American Eagle Jeans Controversy for This Reason<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sydney Sweeney addressed questions ahead of her arrival at the Toronto International Film Festival, making it clear she would not discuss the American Eagle controversy.
