Karwai TangWireImage When Sydney Sweeney arrives at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday, shell be happy to talk about anything pertaining to Christy, the David Michôd film in which she portrays professional boxer Christy Martin.
Shell talk preparation, collaboration, and whatever else leads directly back to the movie. But dont ask her about the recent backlash surrounding her controversial American Eagle campaign she wont answer.
I am there to support my movie and the people involved in making it, and Im not there to talk about jeans, Sweeney told Vanity Fair in an interview ahead of the festival where the film is set to premiere. The movies about Christy, and thats what Ill be there to talk about.
The campaign, which launched earlier this summer, was slammed over allegations of dog-whistling eugenics because of the play-on-words tagline, Sydney Sweeney Has Great JeansGenes. This week, American Eagle shared data showing that their Sydney Jacket sold out in one day, while their Sydney Jean sold out in one week, with plans to restock in November, per People.
