Rebel Wilson reveals she wasn’t allowed to lose weight while filming ‘Pitch Perfect’
Throughout the five years she played “Fat Amy” in Pitch Perfect, Rebel Wilson was contractually forbidden from losing weight.
The actress revealed the fact in a podcast, sharing she only started leading a healthier lifestyle after the franchise wrapped in 2017.
“I couldn’t lose a massive amount of weight, because I was in the contracts for that movie,” Wilson said. “I think it’s not more than 10 pounds [you can lose] and not gain more than 10 pounds. You have to kind of stay at the weight that’s in your contract.”

She continued to say she wanted to lose weight because she didn’t want to get typecast into certain roles. Her previous films include Bridesmaids, How to Be Single, The Hustle, and Isn’t It Romantic.
“I was stereotyped in playing that fat, funny friend. I love doing those roles, I love those characters, but then I did want to do more things. But then I felt like being the bigger girl, you’re just more pigeonholed.”
The Senior Year star is an advocate for body positivity, especially for plus-size women. In 2020, she went on a “Year of Health,” losing 80 pounds as she made some lifestyle changes after seeking advice from a doctor.

“I went to see a fertility doctor, and he was like, ‘You’d have a much better chance with fertility if you were healthier.’ It really hit me hard, because I was living a fantastic bigger life,” the 42-year-old said.
Years after filming Pitch Perfect, Wilson also came out, introducing her girlfriend Ramona Agruma. In November 2022, the couple welcomed a daughter via surrogacy named Royce Lillian.
