Actress Rebel Wilson became known among other things as "Fat Amy" in the "Pitch Perfect" film series - in 2020, however, she informed her fans that she wanted to lose weight.
From her own professional environment, she apparently encountered headwinds for this plan.
"I got a lot of criticism from my own team here in Hollywood when I said, 'Okay, I'm going to do this year of health, I feel like I'm really going to change my body and my life," "Wilson said now in an interview with the BBC.
“And they said, 'Why?
Why do you want to do that? '"Apparently it had nothing to do with the fact that they were worried about the Australian - it was about a business model: According to Wilson, she made" millions of dollars being the funny fat girl " .
But she didn't let that stop her.
Wilson repeatedly published photos that showed her slimmer.
She received a lot of media attention for her weight loss - an aspect that the 41-year-old sees critically: "Is that what a woman has to do, lose weight, in order to get attention?"
It is fascinating that "people are so obsessed" with looks - especially with women.
She knows what it is like to be a woman who "is invisible to most people because she is not traditionally considered beautiful".
It is crazy to try to live up to this ideal.
The background to their weight loss plans was apparently different: "It's just better to be the healthiest version," says Wilson.
Producer, screenwriter and stand-up comedian
Although she used to be self-confident about her appearance, "I knew deep down that some of the emotional eating habits that I had were not healthy."
In addition to being an actress, Wilson is also a producer, screenwriter and stand-up comedian.
According to media reports, her fortune is estimated at $ 22 million.
