After:
-Best known for her roles in movies Bridesmaids and the Pitch Perfect musical comedies, 40-year-old Wilson named 2020 her “Year of Health” and has been documenting her fitness regime on Instagram. Her intense workouts and Mayr diet plan – focused on mindful eating, gut health and chewing each mouthful 40 times (a workout in itself) – has led to her losing a lot of weight, and in a recent Insta post, says she is only six pounds (3kg) away from her target of 165 pounds (75kg)."
-In interviews, Wilson spoke of her pride in her body, and how she was immediately signed by an agent because they had nobody else on their books like her. In 2016, she was the cover star of Cosmopolitan magazine, and said: “I wouldn’t ever want to compete with what I call 'the glamours’ – the really gorgeous people. I’m about the brain, the heart and what’s on the inside. I feel really lucky to be the body type I am.”
Rebel Wilson: "I literally feel as if I have to physically transform myself, because for some reason, even though we’re in a very imaginative industry, it’s very difficult for people to imagine me as a serious actress and I feel that I physically have to show you that I am different,” she has said."
"Her backtracking is surprising. Of course, she can do anything she likes with her own body, but her boldness as a beautiful bigger woman was totally refreshing. She made so many women feel good, and especially in the current lockdown, where many of us have put on a few – in my case, quite a few – pounds, we need all the boosts we can get. It feels uncomfortable to think that if an A-lister isn’t good enough at an ‘unacceptable’ weight, what does that say about the rest of us?"
"The irony is that one of the things that makes Wilson such an endearing and successful performer is that she is different. Not appearing to care for the usual Hollywood nonsense, she’s funny, rude and real, and has made a career out of the way she looks, in roles she often created for herself."
"Now Wilson has a slimmer frame, she’s lost the USP that made her so in demand and will now be competing with ‘the glamours’ for roles. The kinship that bigger women felt when she represented and championed them both on and off screen is broken, much as it was when Adele became the ‘skinny Minnie’ she had earlier vowed not to become."
My question is that if her personality is what made her "so endearing" and "funny, rude, and real" how dose that change with weight? Idk if you ask me we have plenty of "bold" heavy women in media and modeling I feel like this author is just upset her favorite actress got skinny when she didn't and projects her own insecurities. Just because she was happy with her body before dose not mean she could never change her mind and want something better for herself health wise. Im happy for Rebel personally, even though I never liked her in any movies.
