Rebel Wilson lost weight to boost her chances of getting pregnant.
The Pitch Perfect actress, 41, has shed more than 65lbs over the last year, and although she was initially 'offended' that her doctors suggested her fertility would improve if she was slimmer and 'healthier,' the comments gave her the motivation to tackle her eating habits.
'When I was going through and looking into fertility stuff, the doctor was like, "Well, you'd have a much better chance if you were healthier,"' she said on Instagram Live.
'A much better chance if you were healthier': Rebel Wilson attends the amfAR Cannes Gala in 2019 before her weight loss which was galvanized by the actress' desire to get pregnant. The actress lost 65lbs to increase her chances of fertility but felt offended when her doctor mentioned getting healthier would help her chances
'I was actually a bit offended. I thought that even though I was bigger, I was pretty healthy. So that's what started it – that if I lost some excess weight, it would give me a better chance of freezing eggs and having better quality eggs,' said the star.
'At first it wasn't even for myself, it was thinking of a future mini-me and their quality. That's what kick-started it.'
However, in May, the comedienne told her Instagram followers she had been given some 'bad news' about her fertility.
Anything for the mini-me: the Pitch Perfect star, pictured here at the Billboard Music awards in 2018, said she wasn't thinking of herself but instead she only thought of 'a future mini-me and their quality'
Not a big deal: the superstar said she doesn't understand why people are so obsessed with weight transformation when 'there's so much going on in the world'
