Sydney Sweeney looks unrecognizable as boxer Christy Martin! People always say that but this time it’s legit!

Could this end up being a really good movie? Signs are starting to point that way. I wasn’t sure how I felt when I heard Sydney Sweeney was going to be playing real-life boxer Christy Martin in a movie. It didn’t add up. I didn’t think she had that tough look to pull off being a boxer in a movie. Well, apparently, I was wrong and I admit it. She looks tough, ripped, and ready to rock!

Sydney Sweeney Starring As Boxer Christy Martin In Movie

Just looking at the picture you can see Sydney has been putting in the work getting ready for the movie. She’s ripped! She has real biceps! I didn’t not expect to see this and wasn’t ready! She’s sporting a 90s mullet, athletic attire, and strong muscles in the photos recently shared. Sweeney wrote on Instagram, “Well the cat’s out of the bag thanks to some paps in bushes so here’s a little BTS from my film I’m working on right now.” See the photo for yourself below. This is not what I was expecting to see, and good for her!

Sydney Sweeney has a massive following on Instagram with 22.5 million followers. This picture was a bit different than how we’ve seen her looking in the past. You don’t see the boobs, for starters. They’re totally hidden and put away. That was one concern I had when I heard that she was going to be playing a boxer. It would be difficult to hide those! However, it looks like they were able to do it without a problem.

She’ll be starring as Martin in an upcoming biopic that remains untitled right now and will be directed by David Michod. He’s known for movies like Animal Kingdom, The Rover, and The King. Christy Martin was a professional boxer from 1989-2012 and in 2010 she survived a murder attempt by her own husband, James Martin. She was reportedly stabbed multiple times but survived the attack. James was convicted of attempted second-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 years behind bars back in 2012, per Variety.

It sounds like Sydney Sweeney has great things to say about Martin. In the caption, she says, “Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope, and I’m honored to step into her shoes to share her powerful story with you all. More to come soon.” Hopefully this is a good movie and can establish Sydney as a real movie star, not just eye candy.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Awards Shows That Have Run Their Course

The People’s Choice Awards were tonight. I tried to watch some of it before quickly giving up. You think the Super Bowl is full or corporate nonsense? Wait until you see…basically every awards show. Here are 5 awards shows that have run their course.

Maybe it wasn’t always this way. There was a time these awards shows meant something. Today? I think things have changed.

5 Awards Shows That Have Run Their Course

Is it just me or does it all feel so forced? Sometimes, it seems like even the people winning the awards aren’t even having fun. It’s hard to blame them. It seems like there’s a new awards show every other day. Especially if you’re in country music. Seriously, every weekend I feel like I’m seeing an ad for the “biggest night in country music.” Every night can’t be the biggest night! That’s not how it works!

The TV awards have lost their appeal and can’t even get anyone to host them. Sorry, Jo Koi. Then, the music awards are either too common or just too typical. The same artists seem to win every year, it’s hard for us to care. Additionally, the big movie awards are often a bore. How often have you seen every movie nominated for Best Picture? Personally, when the list comes out that’s the first time I’ve heard of many of the movies! Maybe that’s partly on me, though.

Seriously, awards shows have gotten so bad that I feel like I look forward to the list of winners of the Razzies more than I do the Oscars! At least the Razzies are funny and entertaining. The Oscars is so meh. Good for them. However, we’re the ones who suffer.

So, here are 5 awards shows that have run their course. It’s time for something new and exciting. Get our attention again! It’s time for something different, before people stop caring all together.

  • The Academy Awards

    Like I said earlier, the winners aren’t always the most popular blockbusters. in fact, they rarely are. They tend to go to really artsy movies that are enjoyed by people who call movies “films.” I can’t blame them, that’s who it’s for. However, they need to think about the audience. Maybe add a best comedy movie? Best horror? That could be cool. I’d pay attention.

  • The Grammys

    It seems like the same people win every year. Sometimes I didn’t even know they released new music! It’s boring. Even the artists are starting to catch on and not care. They need to listen to the audience more. We want something fresh and new!

  • The Golden Globes

    They couldn’t find a host, then when they do people aren’t pleased and complain. There’s no winning. Sure, we could just let Ricky Gervais every year. I would like that. However, I think Hollywood would crumble. There’s no solution. Plus, the Emmys are the bigger deal, right?

  • The People's Choice Awards

    I didn’t even know this was on until I was channel surfing. I watched literally a minute before I couldn’t stand it anymore. It was a lot. Too much for me. Is this really what we’re voting for? Who are these People in question? I need answers. Adam Sandler won a big award and I still couldn’t bring myself to watch. That’s how bad they are!

  • MTV Video And Music Awards

    When’s the last time something cool happened at one of these? They used to be iconic! Artists with beef with meet up and collar and it would be insanely awesome. Or, celebrities would kiss on stage. You never knew what might happen! What happened to those days?
