Sydney Sweeney
while filming their boxing matches for the upcoming biopic about boxer Christy Martin. The actress has said that she "felt good" getting punched by her co-star.
Sweeney stars in the movie as Martin, who was one of the most well known female boxers of the 1990s, reports 'Variety'.
Katy plays a fellow boxer. Sweeney packed on 30 pounds for the role. Sweeney told W magazine earlier this year, "My body was completely different. I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, 'Oh my god'".
She added, "But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong".
Katy spoke with 'Variety', on Thursday night at the A24 premiere of the new Ari Aster film 'Eddington' at the DGA in West Hollywood.
She said, "I got punched quite a few times. It felt good. It was great. It better read well on camera".
As per 'Variety', she said that it did "not feel good" to have to hit Sweeney. "Even with the extra 30 pounds I would still have 20 to 30 pounds on her so it never feels good", Katy said.

"But she didn't seem to care very much".
Sweeney agreed to do her best not to go too far with the actress "I was just like, 'Please, don't break my nose'. I had to do 'The Running Man' right after", Katy said. "She was like, 'If you break my nose, that's fine'".
Martin boxed professionally from 1989 to 2012 and became the world champion in the super welterweight division in 2009. In 2010, she survived a murder attempt by her husband, James Martin, who stabbed her multiple times and shot her at their home in Florida. He was convicted of attempted second-degree murder in 2012 and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

'Their body language suggest something…': Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's subtle body language during NYC dinner hints at their true connection
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's recent Manhattan outing has sparked discussions about their relationship's potential ( Over the weekend, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce lit up Manhattan with what many are calling the ultimate display of youthful, romantic energy. But it wasn't just the cute outfits and dinner date that had fans talking—it was the way they moved, dressed, and interacted. According to body language expert Judi James, their coordinated style and subtle affection hint at something deeper than celebrity chemistry: the belief that they may have truly found 'the one.' Body language expert says Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are showing signs of lasting love Taylor Swift looked radiant in a flirty pale pink mini dress with gold buttons, while Travis Kelce kept it sleek in cropped black trousers, white socks, loafers, and a crisp white shirt. While this might seem like standard celebrity datewear, James sees it as far more intentional. 'Taylor and Travis's styling and their body language suggest something of a time-warp,' she noted, pointing to their classic prom-queen and king aesthetic. This wasn't just a fashionable night out. James observed that Kelce's wardrobe choices are starting to mirror Swift's romantic style. 'Travis's short-cropped black pants and white socks suggest he's gradually and happily style-twinning with her,' she said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo But it was his subtle movements that said even more. 'Travis sucks his lips in at one point to show he's taking the date very seriously and his large paw of a hand encases Taylor's hand in a clasp of macho protection. ' From their body positioning—Kelce confidently leading while Swift walked demurely behind—to the way she held her small handbag close, everything about their presence suggested a couple relishing that new, enchanted stage of romance. 'Taylor's body language epitomizes 'demure' here, with her head lowered, her elbows pulled into her waist and that dinky little bag held in one hand,' James added. James believes this "first-date college look" may not be accidental. 'It could be a desire to stoke the idyllic romantic side of their relationship or a mutual wish to present each other as 'The One', going back to a teen-date state to delete any high-profile and sometimes less than agreeable relationships they've each had with others in the past,' she explained. Also Read: Why Taylor Swift's love life feels louder with Travis Kelce than it ever did with Joe Alwyn Swift has long built her brand on emotional storytelling, and this softer, sweeter public persona may be a reflection of a new, more intentional chapter. If their body language is anything to go by, both Swift and Kelce are not just enjoying the moment — they're laying the groundwork for something much more enduring.

The fitness influencer and sports personality dropped jaws on Instagram with a series of captivating photos and a video.

From supporting the Philadelphia Eagles during their Super Bowl LIX victory over the Chiefs to being a prominent voice on the I Am Athlete Daily podcast, Nicole has carved a distinct niche for herself. Off the mic, she's also building a brand rooted in wellness. As CEO of Tribe Therepe, Nicole is on a mission to redefine fitness by focusing on the mind-body connection. 'It's focusing on the mental health component of working out, which is really, really important for me and really resonates with me,' she told PEOPLE. 'I think that when your mind is in a healthy place, your body will follow.' Her impact doesn't stop at fitness or podcasting. Nicole recently launched her own show, The Pre-Game, where she's unfiltered about everything — including her dating life. While she's known for her past with Kelce, she's made it clear that her future might steer away from dating athletes altogether. 'I'll never say never, but I fully, wholeheartedly believe that I am out of the athlete stage,' Nicole said. 'I would love to date an executive of a record label or a movie producer so that we can go to the sporting events. Let date night be courtside at the Lakers game, that's my kind of guy.'
