Sydney Sweeney felt a “bittersweet emptiness” after she finished filming Christy.

The 28-year-old actress plays a former professional boxer in the new sports drama movie, and Sydney has confessed to experiencing a range of emotions when filming wrapped.

The blonde beauty - who has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years - told Variety: “It was this bittersweet emptiness.

“You’re so proud of the work that you did. It’s a dream role. You just experienced six months of everything you’ve ever wanted. Then everybody gives hugs, kisses and you have to say goodbye to it forever.”

Christy Martin was America’s bestknown female boxer in the 1990s, and Sydney developed a close bond with the former sports star during the shoot.

The actress was also conscious that her role was unlike anything she’d ever done.

Sydney - who got herself in tip-top physical condition for the role - shared: “I remember standing in front of the mirror — I still had the weight — and I was like, ‘I’ll never get to do something like this ever again.’ It made me really sad. I don’t know if I’ve actually navigated the ending of that yet, because we’re still in press. I’m getting to watch the movie all the time.

I’m with [real-life] Christy all the time.” Meanwhile, Sydney recently insisted that she doesn’t “just make art for numbers”.

The actress admitted that she feels “deeply proud” of Christy - even though it hasn’t proven to be a commercial success. Alongside a carousel of photos from the film, Sydney - who also co-produced the David Michod-directed movie - wrote on Instagram: “i am so deeply proud of this movie.
