Rebel Wilson has claimed she was paid a lot of money to stay bigger. The 40 year old actress is known for her curvy figure and after deciding to embark on a healthy eating journey she has now revealed film executives used to pay her to keep her fuller frame because it accentuated her comedic roles.

Wilson said, Weirdly this year was always going to be the year of health. I've been naming my years now and that's kind of having these resolutions but for the whole year. I always thought that I may be psychic and I always felt this year I wasn't really going to work much. I turned 40 as well in March and so I thought this is gonna be it. This is going to be the year for me to just concentrate on the health benefits. 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 with why I was overeating and I had a job where I was paid a lot of money to be bigger at times which kind of can mess with your head a bit.

Last One Laughing star has been trying a lot of different things in a bid to be more healthy and is considering documenting her journey in a book in order to help others.

She said, So now I'm just trying to work on the mental side and the physical job and doing a lot of personal training and on the nutrition side like it's, it's cool I should probably write a book at some point about it because people seem to be interested. There's no real simple answer to it. I've been trying a lot of different things and to be healthy.
