Rebel Wilson, recognized for her role as 'Fat Amy' in 'Pitch Perfect', has recently discussed the impact of her weight loss journey on her acting career. In 2020, she lost approximately 80 pounds during what she termed her 'year of health.' This transformation has allowed her to take on a more diverse array of roles, including that of Lady Capulet in the upcoming movie 'Juliet & Romeo'. Wilson believes that her physical change has altered how others perceive her, making it easier for her to be cast in varied characters.
When I lost weight in 2020, that weirdly made me more versatile as an actress, even though I had the same skills.
I think people see you differently [after weight loss] and can imagine you more easily in different roles.
I was a new mother when I got offered this role, and Lady Capulet's like an iconic Shakespearean mother.
It's interesting, was there some people in the business that called me back that didn't call me back when I was very overweight?
