Rebel Wilson's shocking weight loss confession
Rebel Wilson has confessed to using Ozempic to maintain her weight after dropping almost 40kgs in her "year of health" in 2020.
While speaking to the Sunday Times about the release of her memoir, Rebel Rising, the Aussie actress confessed to using the drug, which is used to treat type 2 diabetes.
The 44-year-old has previously referred to 2020 as her "year of health" after she lost a staggering amount of weight, and has now finally admitted to using Ozempic, but only to maintain her weight.
She said, "Someone like me could have a bottomless appetite for sweets, so I think those drugs can be good."
Rebel went on to clarify that she is no longer taking the drug, and is happy with her weight.
The actress shared how wanting to have a baby kick-started her dramatic weight loss in 2020, but not everyone was happy about her plans for a drastic transformation.
"Basically no one apart from my mum wanted me to lose weight," Wilson recalled.
"People thought I'd lose my pigeonhole in my career, playing the fat funny character, and they wanted me to continue in that."
Over the past four years, Wilson has admitted to gaining some of it back including 20lbs from "stress eating" leading up to the release of her book, with Covid lockdowns also playing a part in her fluctuating weight.
"I know that my relationship with food is complicated," she said.
"I feel strongly that young women shouldn't try to obsess over looking like Victoria's Secret models — they should just look like themselves."
