On Friday, September 5, Sydney Sweeney will arrive at the Toronto International Film Festival, making her first major public appearance since the controversy surrounding her new American Eagle campaign captivated the internet (and Donald Trump). She hasn’t spoken about the divisive ads yet—and tells Vanity Fair that she doesn’t plan to start now. “I am there to support my movie and the people involved in making it, and I’m not there to talk about jeans,” she says in an exclusive interview focused on Christy, her new biopic of pioneering fighter Christy Martin. “The movie’s about Christy, and that’s what I’ll be there to talk about.”
Elsewhere in HWD, Joel Edgerton and Clint Bentley open up about their emotional adaptation of Denis Johnson’s Train Dreams; Erin Vanderhoof wonders whether it matters that With Love, Meghan didn’t crack the Netflix top 10 in its second season; and Lauren Santo Domingo picks the best-dressed celebrities from this year’s Venice Film Festival, while we present the most dazzling jewelry at the annual event. |
