Rebel Wilson went through quite a transformation since embarked on a self-proclaimed “Year of Health” back in 2020. Her weight loss journey was a subject of countless headlines past year, and the Australian actress recently admitted she’s frustrated by the public obsession with her body.
Wilson rose to prominence with the role of “Fat Amy” in the Pitch Perfect franchise and received a lot of media coverage after losing over 60 lbs. after kicking off her “Year of Health” by changing up her eating habits and committing to daily workouts.
Wilson recently discussed her transformation with the Daily Telegraph and admitted it’s been frustrating to get “more press” about losing weight than she ever did from her acting roles.
“The attention has all been ‘when I do nothing except lose weight.’ People are so obsessed with it. But I get it. Oprah is one of my heroes. She’s certainly struggled with eating issues and I would always watch her episodes when she spoke about that,” said the Australian actress.
Despite the mixed feelings about the media coverage regarding her fitness journey, Wilson said she’s proud of the fact she managed to lose and maintain weight for the first time in her life. She also added that her “Year of Health” wasn’t about reaching a certain size, but about loving yourself and loving the journey that you’re on.
