Fresh off the release of her Christy Martin biopic, Sydney Sweeney is opening up about what she considers her weakness and how that is common to a large section of women. She spoke about weaknesses in general when asked about how Christy chooses to put on a strong front to appear like she has it all together in the film.

Detailing her biggest weakness, she said to Sky News, "I have a really hard time with asking for help, and my friends recently have really pointed that out to me, and they're like, 'Sydney, it's okay to ask. Like, you can'. There's nothing wrong with it, but I have a really hard time with it.”

She further addressed how women are expected to always have it all together. "And if we do ask for help, then it's a sign of weakness. And we don't want to be viewed that way, even though a man can ask for it, and no one's like, 'Ah, he's weak.' But if a woman director asks for help, it'd be like, 'Oh, she's not prepared for this role," she explained.

Sydney Sweeney's Christy, which was released amid much expectation on November 7, failed to take off at the box office and opened to poor revenues. Addressing the underwhelming box office performance, in a lengthy Instagram post, Sweeney shared a few unseen pictures of her character from the film and said the experience was one of the "greatest honours" of her life.

Written and directed by David Michôd, Christy is a sports drama that tells the story of Martin (Sydney Sweeney), an ambitious young boxer from West Virginia who rises to prominence and fame and becomes a world champion while struggling with multiple battles on a personal front after she gets married to her trainer-manager Jim (Ben Foster) and finds herself stuck in an abusive marriage for many years.
