Rebel Wilson has opened up about how her team initially questioned her decision to lose weight because she was earning millions of dollars from being a fat comedian.

“I got a lot of pushback from my own team actually here in Hollywood when I said: ‘OK I’m going to do this year of health. I feel like I’m really gonna physically transform and change my life,'” the actress said in an exclusive interview with BBC News on Dec 6.
