Rebel Wilson exposes harsh reality of Hollywood after her weight loss

Rebel Wilson recently confessed how Hollywood's treatment has changed after her weight loss and she is seen “differently” now.

The 45-year-old actress, who lost around 80 pounds five years ago, told SirusXM that she was able to take a more dramatic approach by the film industry after she shed the pound.

Wilson, who expressed that she playing Fat Amy in the Pitch Perfect film series, recalled that initially in her career she did want to be more of a “serious actress”, however, she was only able to get her foot in the door via her comedic abilities.

The Senior Year star explained, “Weirdly, when I very first started acting in Australia, I wanted to be a serious actress. I wanted to be like Dame Judi Dench.”

She went on to say, “I wanted to be really serious, it's just I had something that people liked to laugh at.

“And then Nicole Kidman gave me this scholarship to come to America and specialise in comedy, so that's what I did.

“And when I came to Hollywood, I was just like the full comedy girl but now it's kind of like almost going back to my roots as an actress and doing some serious stuff as well.”

The Bridesmaids  actress noted, “When I lost a lot of weight in 2020, I lost like 70 or 80 pounds, from that point, I started getting offered more serious roles.” 

According to her, she filmed a British indie movie and now she is playing Lady Capulet in Juliet and Romeo.

Rebel Wilson, before concluding, shared, “So I kind of un-typecast myself by losing weight and I loved being the bigger, funny girl.”
