NO LONGER A REBEL WITHOUT CONTROL
REBEL Wilson said her “year of health”, which saw her drop 30kg, has transformed more than her body.
“For the first time in my life I’ve lost weight and maintained it . . . I’m proud of that fact,” Wilson said.
“It worked because it was the whole lifestyle approach and dealing with emotional eating. I’m not totally cured. I don’t think you can be. But I’ve learnt to manage it – and it’s not by reaching for a bowl of ice cream.
“In 2019, I had like four movies come out, two which I also produced and one, Jojo Rabbit, which got nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture. Yet I get more press the following year when I do nothing except lose weight.
“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.”
Wilson said she rose to fame by not trading on her looks but instead making herself the “personality girl”.
Now, however, she said she was “in touch” with her “inner siren”.
“To me, the women I think are most beautiful are those who step into their own power,” she said. And she said she would still like to have children.
“But it’s still a bit unclear whether that’ll be the case,” she said. “I feel like (it’s) not over yet. It’s kind of an emotional roller-coaster. But I’ve been trying my best, so whatever will be, will be.”
