How Rebel Wilson's body type got her signed

Rebel Wilson will always be our fav Bridesmaid. 

Fearless and full-figured, the Aussie actress has never shied away from acknowledging her assets — and why should she? As Rebel explains in the January cover issue of Cosmopolitan UK, her body type helped her break into the business.

“Being unique and different was a really good thing. When I walked into my agent's office for the first time (in 2009), they looked at me and said, ‘Wow, we have nobody on our books like you.’ And they signed me on my second day here.” 

“I wouldn’t ever want to compete with what I call ‘the glamours’ – the really gorgeous people," she continues. "I’m about the brain, the heart and what's on the inside. I feel really lucky to be the body type I am.”

But, Rebel adds that she tries to strike a healthy balance between treating herself...

"I love me some ice cream or dessert, and it comes at times when I'm happy or sad. So when I have an incredibly successful day, I want to celebrate and reward myself with food. If I've had a sad or stressful day, food is also comfort. I bought this hilarious slogan sweater the other day that says, 'Food is my only friend'. I thought it was really cute."

... and nourishing her body.

"Living in LA, you learn a lot about health. I now drink green juices and I'm trying to do gluten-free. But I don't do it 100% - I'm not a maniac!"
