Sydney Sweeney Sidesteps American Eagle inquiries at ‘Echo Boomers‘ Premiere,Unveils New Boxing-Inspired Appearance
LOS ANGELES – sydney Sweeney debuted a striking new look at the premiere of her film “Echo Boomers” on Thursday,together declining to address questions regarding her recent partnership with American Eagle Outfitters. The actress, known for her roles in “Euphoria” and “Anyone But You,” appeared with visible bruising, a result of intensive fight training for the boxing drama.
Sweeney’s choice to avoid discussion about the clothing brand, amidst online backlash over a promotional campaign, coincided with her detailed account of the physical demands of portraying a boxer. She revealed to Fox News Digital that she and her co-stars genuinely struck each other during fight scenes, sustaining concussions and bruises in the process. “Every single fight you see, we are actually punching each other. We are going full force,” Sweeney stated. “I always believed that you would not be able to make it feel real if it’s a stunt double or if it’s faking the hits.”
the premiere marks a important moment for “Echo boomers,” a crime thriller centered around a young woman who becomes involved in a group of criminals. Sweeney’s commitment to authenticity extended to working with former boxer Christy Martin, who visited the set to observe the fight choreography. Initially apprehensive,Sweeney found Martin’s encouragement invaluable. “she’s cheering you on, and she’s yelling, ‘Hit him with the hook!’ as if she’s actually watching a fight,” Sweeney recounted. “And I’m like, ‘Christy, you know what’s going to happen.’ And she goes, ‘Yeah, but I’m still invested in this!’ It was such a fun experience.”
The actress’s dedication to the role highlights a growing trend in Hollywood towards immersive physical preparation for demanding roles. Sweeney’s willingness to endure real impacts underscores her commitment to delivering a believable performance, even at personal risk. “Echo Boomers” is scheduled for release on August 9th.
