In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, Foster had a clean-shaven face and a blonde combover on the set of the currently-untitled biopic about boxer Christy Martin, played by Sydney Sweeney. The actor wore a light blue polo shirt, navy sweatpants, and white sneakers, and carried a beige duffel bag.
While it's not clear yet who Foster is playing, the movie will tell the story of Martin's tumultuous career. Originally from West Virginia and known as "The Coal Miner's Daughter" because of her father's profession, Martin is famous for bringing worldwide attention to the sport of women's boxing in the '90s, appearing on numerous talk shows and even the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Unfortunately, she also suffered 20 years of abuse from her husband and trainer, James 'Jim' Martin, who stabbed his wife several times and shot her at least once in her torso in 2010, reportedly after an argument.
While the boxer survived the attack, Jim was found guilty of attempted second-degree murder and manslaughter and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
In real life, Foster has been married to actress Laura Prepon since 2018.
