Rebel Wilson Tells Fans ‘It’s Never Too Late To Improve Yourself’ After Losing 70 Lbs
Oct 04, 2021 by apost team
Last year, Rebel Wilson made headlines for her dramatic weight loss. She described 2020 as her "year of health," and had come close to her target weight thanks to a dedicated regimen of diet and exercise that worked out well. The 41-year-old actress and comic, who is known for movies like "Bridesmaids" and "Pitch Perfect," said in the interview with The Sun that she has decided to stop listening to film bosses who have reportedly paid her to "stay bigger."
In the same piece, the news outlet reported that the Australian star’s weight loss journey included high-intensity interval training (HIIT), mobility, weight, and resistance training, along with technique and tempo workouts — and that’s with only one day of rest during the week. To stick to that ambitious schedule, Wilson enlisted the help of celebrity personal trainer Jono Castano Acero.
At the end of 2019, Rebel Wilson made a promise to herself; she vowed to make 2020 her "Year of Health," and to reach her ideal weight of 75kg, and it looks like the actress has not only reached her ideal weight but also maintained it. In her most recent photographs on social media, it is clear that Wilson has been diligent with her weight loss and maintaining her health.
Since she has debuted her healthy and fit self, Wilson has been an inspiration for women across the world who want to become healthier as well. On Sept. 27, 2021, Wilson posted a message on social media to all her followers reminding them that it's never too late to improve oneself.

In her photo, Wilson is seen donning a bright red swimsuit as she stands on a tree bark that is immersed in azure blue water by a beach. She captioned her post, "It’s never too late to improve yourself - to improve your health, your heart, your happiness, your harmony. For everyone out there just trying to be a lil bit better this week: go for it! Every bit counts. Every effort is worth it. You’re worth it."
Her post was very positively received, and hundreds of women thanked Wilson for her inspiration and for always being open about her journey. One woman wrote, "Rebel, you are a legit inspiration. Thank you for putting yourself out there as always, and especially in this way. Keep going 🔥" Another chimed in, "Thanks for the encouragement, in times like this we need more people that gives hope."
Wilson's candid and open approach to her life has helped many women feel less alone in their struggles. Previously, Wilson had shared with her followers that she intended to lose weight because she wanted to improve her fertility. She has also kept her followers in the loop about this subject.
In an Instagram post from May 3, 2021, Wilson posted a photo looking forlorn and added a long caption that alluded to infertility problems. The caption for the photo she uploaded on Instagram read:
"I got some bad news today and didn’t have anyone to share it with...but I guess I gotta tell someone. To all the women out there struggling with fertility, I feel ya. The universe works in mysterious ways and sometimes it all doesn’t make sense...but I hope there’s light about to shine through all the dark clouds."

However, nothing has stopped the star from continuing her healthful journey. On Wednesday, Sept. 29, some of Hollywood’s most prominent stars showed off their stunning looks and fashion sensibilities at the premiere party for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
Actors, actresses and stars in attendance included “Euphoria’s” Sydney Sweeney, “The Batman’s” Robert Pattinson, the Brazilian model Adriana Lima and of course, the “Pitch Perfect” star Wilson. Wilson looked especially radiant at the event. The Mirror reported that the 41-year-old Australian actress has lost nearly 70 pounds since she embarked on her weight loss journey.
Wilson showed off that transformation in a sparkly black, tightly fitting blazer dress, which highlighted the actress’ figure at the Academy-run event, celebrating the opening of a new museum in the middle of West Hollywood.
As its name suggests, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is run by the same organization that arranges the Oscars each year — and just as the Oscars aim to impress with its glitz and glam, the museum is a sight for sore eyes.
According to Vogue, the museum includes a 33,000-square-foot theater designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano, an Art Deco-inspired exhibition space and a striking spherical exterior. The entire project, which the Academy claims is the “largest institution in the United States devoted to exploring the art and science of movies and moviemaking,” costs $482 million, according to the Los Angeles Times.
However, it is safe to say that Wilson was also a highlight of the night as she was beaming with radiance at the event.
