Sydney Sweeney shares the painful reason her parents ended up bankrupt and divorced


The 27-year-old actress detailed the difficult timeframe after her family relocated, with her parents divorcing and going through a bankruptcy filing in 2016.

The Euphoria actress, who pitched to her parents pursuing a career in a PowerPoint presentation, had moved to Los Angeles with her family after two years of commuting there from Washington in what amounted to 38-hour round trips, Glamour reported October 3. Director Michôd, whose past credits include War Machine, Animal Kingdom and The Rover, said Martin's rise to prominence in the boxing world in the 1990s makes for a story that producers of the film compared to that of a 'female Rocky' Balboa. Martin, who was Don King's first-ever female client, gained national spotlight in March of 1996 when she captured the World Boxing Council women’s lightweight championship in a bloody Las Vegas bout against Deirdre Gogarty.
