Rebel Wilson looks like a completely different person

Watching senior year. A new film that’s just dropped on Netflix that stars Rebel Wilson where she has now lost her weight.

She looks completely different. Honestly wouldn’t have recognised her if I didn’t know it was her!

I know she got a lot of flack for losing her weight because people seemed to think she should have stayed that way as it made her stand out, but I’m not saying that.

As long as she was happy, I don’t care. I’m just saying she looks so different.

She still had the same facial expressions and comedic physical timing etc. I would have recognised her. but yes, she has visibly lost weight.
I quite liked the film - it had an excellent sound track!

I lost a similar amount of weight and look completely different too. Friends I hadn't seen for a while completely failed to recognise me, it was very strange for me since I still felt like the same person. I think she has done a great job losing weight and becoming healthier, however she's done it, and I hope the people giving her a hard time for it take a look a themselves.

I follow her on Instagram, she’s made a total health transformation over the course of the last 18 months, rather than submitting to cosmetic procedures. I respect her a lot for that and she’s still a very funny woman (I know it’s very fattist of me to presume she would be less funny without the weight)

I think she’s a fantastic actress and natural comedian. I haven’t found a film with her in that I haven’t liked yet.

I was just surprised that she looked so different. I wasn’t expecting it.

I think she looks fantastic. In a recent interview she said she was pleased to be offered roles other than the funny fat girl, now she's no longer plus size. She's a good role model for overweight people wanting to get slim and healthy.

Absolutely

I remember reading all these articles where her agents were pressuring her to stay over weight because that’s how she was casted but she refused.

I am glad she’s managed to remain in the acting sector, as she should be! She shouldn’t be discriminated against, just because she lost the weight people wanted her to keep.

She really doesnt facially she looks exactly the same

I read she was diagnosed PCOS and it has been part of getting her condition under control. When my PCOS is bad, my weight is the biggest thing that makes a difference so i think its amazing what she has been able to achieve.

She's done such an amazing job with her weight loss. She looks bloody fantastic!
