As part of Sydney Sweeney’s role in Christy, one of the most heavily discussed titles on the 2025 movie schedule, the lead actress had to train so that she’d be ready to play the titular boxer. She ultimately crafted a Rocky-esque gym to prepare in and, by the time the cameras started rolling, she was ready to take some hits in the ring. It also seems she managed to throw a few jabs of her own, according to co-star Katy O’Brian. In fact, O’Brian recently recalled to CinemaBlend how she texted with Glen Powell about that while on set.

Both Katy O’Brian and Sydney Sweeney have developed professional and personal relationships with Glen Powell at this point. Sweeney worked with Powell on the hit rom-com Anyone but You, while O’Brian co-starred with him in Twisters and the upcoming adaptation of The Running Man. With that, O’Brian – while alongside Christy director David Michôd – humorously told CinemaBlend she’d send texts to Powell about the hits she took. When asked about her and Powell playing love interests to Sweeney.
