Sydney Sweeny, who is known for her role in Euphoria, was severely criticised after starring in controversial advertisements.
Although the star was called out for being “racist,” it appears the narrative about her seemingly changed after the premiere of true-life boxing drama.
The biopic that revolves around the life of professional boxer Christy Martin earned rave reviews for her acting, with many declaring she might earn an Oscar Award for the performance.
During her appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival, the Anyone But You actress received a long standing ovation from the crowd.
One of the X users noted that the Sydney and “The Rock are going to break their curse of getting type casted… both are expected to get Oscar.”
Another fan admitted they “definitely want to see this one,” which is set to hit the theatres on November 7.
While the Hollywood A-list star is eying the Academy Awards, she faced a heavy backlash after starring in a Jeans campaign for American Eagle.
After stirring controversy online, the president of the United States Donald Trump intervened to praise her for the commercial, calling her the “HOTTEST.”
As an artist, Sydney transformed her looks completely to depict Christy Martin. However, this might not calm down the backlash that earned her the title of being a controversial figure.
