Rebel Wilson made a name for herself with American film audiences through her role as Fat Amy in the Pitch Perfect franchise, beginning in 2012.
But since she had a character whose identity was tied to her weight, it wasn’t like the Aussie was going to diet down to an entirely different body.
The 40-year-old revealed in a new interview that she was actually paid to stay on the heavier side, but now she’s decided to put her health first. “It’s not like I want to lose weight and get to around a certain number.
It’s more than that, it’s about dealing mentally with why I was overeating. And I had a job where I was paid a lot of money to be bigger, at times, which kind of can mess with your head a bit,” Rebel tells UK’s The Sun.
