Sydney Sweeney Fooled by Ben Foster's Fake Double Chin
28 Nov
Summary
- Ben Foster gained weight for 'Christy' using Uncrustables and jam.
- Sydney Sweeney mistook Foster's double chin for a prosthetic.
- The film 'Christy' had a low box office opening but was profitable.
Ben Foster's dedication to portraying boxing promoter Jim in the biopic 'Christy' led to a significant physical transformation, primarily achieved through a diet rich in Uncrustables and jam. This culinary approach resulted in substantial weight gain, so much so that co-star Sydney Sweeney was convinced his double chin was a prosthetic effect.
Sweeney herself underwent rigorous training to embody boxer Christy Martin, balancing her caloric intake with intense workouts to build muscle. In contrast, Foster's focus was solely on weight accumulation, showcasing a differing approach to character preparation on the set of the film.
Despite the actors' committed performances, 'Christy' experienced a notably low opening weekend at the box office. However, the film has reportedly been a financial success, largely attributed to its minimal production budget, demonstrating that critical reception and box office performance do not always dictate profitability.
