Sydney Sweeney shuts down questions about recent controversy

Recently, Sydney Sweeney appeared in an ad campaign for American Eagle. This promotion caught her in hot water.

However, at her recent appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival, the actress brushed aside the questions about the controversy.

"I am there to support my movie and the people involved in making it," she says in an interview with Vanity Fair, directing her focus on her latest film, Christy, which debuts at the festival.

"I’m not there to talk about jeans," the star states, adding, "The movie’s about Christy [Martin], and that’s what I’ll be there to talk about.”

David Michôd serves as the director of the boxing biopic — about the personality — on which Sydney says, "I was blown away that her story wasn’t more known on a universal, global level because it’s just one of the most harrowing and inspiring women that I’ve ever met in my entire life."

The synopsis read, "Christy tells the story of the groundbreaking professional boxer who rose to fame in the '90s, becoming one of the most prominent female athletes in the sport with 49 wins, seven losses, and three draws across her career."

Christy will be out in cinemas on November 7.
