Sydney Sweeney is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood right now, a position that sometimes attracts the worst kinds of criticism. Last week, candid photos circulated of Sweeney in a bikini, which elicited a barrage of crude and bizarre comments from the worst kinds of internet folks. From strange assertions that Sweeney was “mid” to the idea that these photos revealed she was somehow out of shape or never attractive to begin with, it felt, for a moment, like we were living in a bizarro universe.
Luckily, Sweeney has fired back against the zombie hordes of the comments section, with a somewhat tongue-in-cheek Instagram post. In the post, Sweeney screenshots all the most vile, and strange body-shamming insults before topping it all off with footage of her at the gym, brawling like a boss.
More than any recent female celebrity, the public discussion of Sydney Sweeney’s body seems to take up way may time and effort than it should. Smartly, Sweeney doesn’t seem to be letting the haters get to her, and her jovial candor in her gym footage proves why she has so many fans to begin with. Most of us can agree that the appeal of Sydney Sweeney is that yes, she’s gorgeous, but she also seems normal and down-to-Earth, too.
While Sweeney is rumored to be starring in a reboot of of the iconic sex-farce, sci-fi romp, Barbarella, that doesn't appear to be the next big project she's getting ready for. Instead, Sweeney is starring in an upcoming biopic about female boxer Christy Martin. She's almost certainly hitting the punching bag for that.
Either way, in a bikini, or a space suit, or the boxing ring Sweeney is cool as hell, and clearly, won’t ever let the bastards get her down.
