Sydney Sweeney has definitely been booked and busy, as she’s had several projects that have debuted as part of the 2025 movie schedule. Her latest title is Christy, the David Michôd-helmed boxing drama that sees her play trailblazing athlete Christy Martin. Sweeney’s next film is The Housemaid, a highly anticipated book-to-screen adaptation that she shot shortly after finishing her sports film. Sweeney just recently told CinemaBlend just how much weight she lost in between both productions.

While promoting Christy, Sweeney hasn’t held back from talking about how she had to transform her body in order to play the titular role. That even meant crafting a Rocky-style gym, with which she was ultimately able to gain the muscle she needed. However, Sweeney couldn’t be that buff for her Housemaid role. CinemaBlend’s Jeff McCobb spoke to Sweeney about that, and the actress revealed just how long she had to drop the pounds before cameras rolled on the book adaptation.
