Sydney Sweeney claps back at online trolls with intense training montage for boxer biopic

Leave Sydney Sweeney alone! Or else she might have to take care of you herself.

The Euphoria and Anyone But You actress swung hard on her haters in a video posted to Instagram on Friday that begins by showcasing a slew of nasty comments about her appearance. Comments like "quite frumpy" and "she has a horrible body" flash across the screen, set to the Bloodstone song "Natural High." Then the video abruptly switches to an intense training montage, showing Sweeney lifting weights, boxing, and flipping gigantic tires, set to Joey Valence and Brae's "OK."

"Check this out," the duo rap, "I look good."

The comments appear to be culled from responses to paparazzi photos published a day earlier. Taken from a far-off vantage point, the photos capture Sweeney in a bikini lounging around the pool of her Florida home. While some online trolls criticized the actress' appearance, other observers rushed to her defense, calling out the comments' lecherous and misogynistic overtones and reproaching the invasion of privacy represented by the photos themselves.

The final frame of Sweeney's video is the name "Christy Martin" spelled out in glittering pink letters. Sweeney has been promoting an upcoming biopic about the boxer for months, sharing an update in October that showed her in a crimped brunette wig flexing her newly earned biceps.

Martin is a legendary figure in the sport, one whom the World Boxing Association records as having a career total of 49 wins, seven losses, and three draws. In November, Sweeney shared a picture with Martin herself with a caption that described the film as "a testament to resilience, survival, and finding the strength to keep fighting. I can't wait for you all to see it — not only because I'm proud of the transformation and the work I've poured into it, but because Christy's story deserves to be told.

"And yes," Sweeney concluded, "you'll get to see me kick some serious ass."

Celeste O'Connor and Isabela Merced, who costarred with Sweeney in the superhero flick Madame Web, both showed Sweeney support in the comments of her Instagram post Friday. Merced wrote, "The thing is these people would never say it in person. Too scared. But if they ever did? best believe it's hands," while O'Connor simply commented, "SO baller omfggggggg."

In a group interview for Madame Web earlier this year, O'Connor shed some insight on Sweeney's diligence when it comes to preparing for her roles, quipping, "Sydney was our training outside of stunt rehearsal. She would send us a schedule of all the Pilates classes that she had reserved for the week, and she was like, 'All right, girls! This is what we're doing!' I have her to thank for this bod."
