Alison Brie won our hearts with countless comedic roles over the years, but our perception of her completely changed when she accepted the role on GLOW. The third season of this wrestling show is almost here, and it was a real game-changer for Brie.

The Golden Globe-nominated actress recently discussed her transformation in an interview with ESPN, and explained how the role of Ruth Wilder completely changed her approach to fitness.

“I made a decision when I booked GLOW to showcase a more physical side of myself. To be the first to try any new move, to put fear aside and just dive in. It was something that nobody suspected of me,” revealed Brie.

The role in GLOW also helped her feel more comfortable in her own skin and develop real inner power.

“It definitely gave me a major confidence boost across the board and a strong sense of power I carry with me everywhere I go. I’ve taken that feeling with me into new jobs.  It also changed my mindset about how I relate to my body,” said Alison Brie.
