Rebel Wilson reveals moment she got most attention in her career

Rebel Wilson feels she got the most attention when she shed about 80 lbs.

The Pitch Perfect star, 45, made an appearance on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa podcast.

During the interview, the actress looked back at the most attention she received from people over just one thing despite many other qualities that could be deemed impressive.

“I was kind of shocked with how much attention I got just for losing weight when I'd done so many things in my life,” Wilson said on the show.

“Like, I've got two degrees from university and done a lot of great work as an actor and producer and everything, but that losing weight was the thing that people seem to be really interested in,” she continued.

Wilson also noted that it was perhaps that she “reinforced” the attention by “posting more photos on Instagram" and subsequently “millions of people" liked it.

However, she also admitted to previously being “intrigued” by other celebrities’ weight-loss transformations in the past.

“When I watched people that I really like, like Oprah, and whenever she was doing an episode about weight loss or something, I'd be so intrigued,” the actress shared. “So I kind of get the fascination with it.”

Wilson has admitted to briefly using Ozempic, an FDA-approved type 2 diabetes drug, to help maintain her weight but claims to no longer be taking it.
