Speaking about some of the difficulties she faced early in her career, Rebel said she’s previously been turned down for acting roles because of her size.
“When I was bigger, like, when I first started my professional acting career, agents would look at me and just be like, ‘No way,’ because I was overweight,” Rebel said.
“And I was like, ‘You know what? I’m gonna take something that you think is a disadvantage — I don’t actually think it’s a disadvantage — and I’m going to turn it into my success story,’” she added.
However, Rebel maintained that she’d embarked on her journey to lose weight in order to prioritize her health, not her career.
