Rebel Wilson shows off her incredible 18kg weight loss – and says she was paid to ‘stay bigger’

Rebel Wilson is on a health journey.

The Pitch Perfect actress recently posted a picture of herself on Instagram where she’s wearing a low-cut blue dress that’s showing off her slimmed-down figure.

This comes after the 40-year-old revealed that she wants to lead a healthier lifestyle and hopes to shed 75kgs by the end of 2020, People reports.

“Even if you have to crawl towards your goals, keep going. It will be worth it,” Rebel said in an Instagram post.

“Try and give a little bit of effort each day . . . I know some days are frustrating as hell, you feel like giving up, you get annoyed at the lack of progress . . . but good things are coming your way ??what are your goals this year?”

“I’ll be honest with you guys – with my ‘Year of Health’ mission I’m trying to get to 75kg’s and career wise I’m trying to get one of my movies into production before the end of the year!

“Both of these things are requiring a daily effort and there’s constant setbacks – but I’m working hard,” she went on to say.

Rebel, who works out six times a week, has asked celebrity personal trainer Jono Castano Acero, to help her shed the kilos. Her workout program includes weight training, High-intensity interval training (HIIT), mobility and tempo.

In a recent interview with The Sun, the Australian actress says she was paid by her bosses to “stay bigger” for her movie roles.

“It’s not like I want to lose weight and get to around a certain number. It’s more than that. It’s about dealing mentally with why I was overeating and I had a job where I was paid a lot of money to be bigger, at times which can kind of mess with your head a bit,” Rebel said in the interview.

Rebel is currently hosting LOL: Last One Laughing Australia, which launched on 19 June.
