Sydney Sweeney is making waves as she gears up for her appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) for the premiere of her new film, "Christy." But don’t expect to hear her talk about denim or fashion controversies!

In a candid interview with Vanity Fair, Sweeney made it clear she’s at TIFF to support her film and its creators, not to engage in discussions about her controversial American Eagle advertisement. She stated, "I am there to support my movie and the people involved in making it, and I’m not there to talk about jeans." The focus of her appearance will be solely on the movie.

Sweeney stars as Christy Martin, a pioneering boxing champion known for her groundbreaking career in the 1990s and 2000s. The movie aims to shine a spotlight on Martin's incredible journey, and Sweeney is determined to keep the conversation centered on this empowering narrative.

The actress's recent American Eagle ad campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," has sparked controversy, with critics questioning the messaging. Many took issue with the campaign's play on words between "jeans" and "genes," the latter being a term associated with eugenics. This backlash has overshadowed some of Sweeney's recent projects, including the films "Americana" and "Eden."

In response to the criticism, American Eagle emphasized that their campaign "is and always was about the jeans," promoting inclusivity with the tagline that "great jeans look good on everyone." Despite the backlash, Sweeney remains focused on her craft.

When preparing for her role, Sweeney underwent rigorous training and reportedly gained over 30 pounds to authentically portray Martin. "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," she remarked, highlighting her admiration for the boxing icon.

As the world eagerly anticipates the premiere of "Christy," all eyes will now be on Sweeney, who is ready to bring attention back to the inspiring story of a true sports legend.
