Sydney Sweeney is receiving a heap of praise for her latest performance as former professional boxer Christy Martin … and all the love is making her emotional!
Sydney was brought to tears Friday after she and the rest of the cast got a thunderous standing ovation at Toronto International Film Festival following a screening of her biopic, “Christy.”

SS was clearly overcome by the moment … and she told the festival crowd it was an honor to play the iconic sports figure, who joined her on stage.
This is a really big deal … ’cause SS is known for being a smoking hot sex symbol and the most marketable person in the industry right now … the film is testing through the roof, and there is serious Oscar buzz beyond the pretty face!
As usual … the starlet was total glam both at the premiere, in a pink dress, and at the after-party, in an elegant black ensemble. Obvi, both outfits showed off Sydney’s calling card assets.
It really was a cool moment for Sydney … and said a lot about her. Even with being the hottest thing in town … she’s truly touched by the awards crowd recognition.
