Sydney Sweeney just admitted she finds it “hard” to ask for help.

Speaking to Sky News about her new film Christy, which is based on the life of boxer Christy Martin, the US actress says it was a common feeling between her and the character she portrays.

“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 really a hard time with it,” she admitted.

She added, “I think it’s hard, especially as a woman, there’s so many expectations on us to 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,’” the Euphoria actress explained.

The film’s director, David Michod, who also co-wrote the biopic with his wife Mirrah Foulkes, agrees and said it’s a feeling his wife has also had in the industry.

“Mirrah had that experience a lot. It’s just like women have to, as soon as they reveal that they don’t know something, it becomes like, ‘oh, she’s unprepared, she doesn’t know what she’s doing, she’s out of her depth’. And I feel like I tell people I don’t know what I’m doing 20 times a day,” he admitted.

The film Christy is based on Christy’s boxing career, depicting her struggles as a closeted gay woman and the domestic violence as well as coercive control she faced in her personal life by her husband and head coach James ‘Jim’ Martin.

Michelle Pfeiffer says becoming a grandmother has reshaped how she wants to spend her time.

The 67-year-old actress recently shared in a new interview that she feels “blessed” following her recent work and the news that her daughter, Claudia, 32, welcomed a baby in 2024.

“I am feeling very blessed for the opportunities that are presenting themselves to me and loving the work,” Pfeiffer told Fox News Digital. “I’ve been working with incredible cast members in all three projects I’ve done recently… great directors, great material.”

She added that the new addition to her family has inspired her to prioritise time with loved ones. “I think I’m going to have most of next year off, which I’m really looking forward to,” she said. 

“I just want my choices and the way I spend my time—whatever time I have left—to be meaningful.”

Pfeiffer, who also shares a son, John, 31, with her husband, TV writer David E. Kelley, previously paused her career to focus on her children. She then explained in 2023 that her kids encouraged her return to acting.

Prince William was only looking out for Prince Harry when he asked him to hold his horses, says an expert.

The Prince of Wales did not want Harry to rush into his wedding with Meghan Markle and focus on building up a relationship with her.

Royal expert Robert Jobson tells The Sun: “I think that William was, you know, like any brother, was probably just keeping an eye out for him by saying, do you think this is happening rather quickly?

“What do you really know about this girl? Should you not spend some more time getting to know her? Which had a bad reaction.

“He was really, really unhappy about that. He couldn’t reconcile himself about that.

“Post then, it’s just been a gradual unravelling of the relationship. I’d been told that at Christmas, when Harry and Meghan went to stay with William and Kate,” he added.

“Harry had complained to his brother that he wasn’t sort of making enough of a fuss at Meghan, wasn’t rolling out the red carpet, that she didn’t feel terribly welcome.

“These were things that myself and other journalists were picking up at the time.

“Once things had died down a bit after the wedding, I was told by people who’d been involved with the wedding, people who knew some of the senior members of the royal family, that actually all wasn’t really very well at all between Meghan and Harry and William and Kate,” the expert noted.
