Actress Rebel Wilson shared that she briefly used Ozempic to help her lose weight, but says she no longer uses the drug.
"Someone like me has an incessant appetite for sweets, so I think the drugs are good," she said in a new interview with the Sunday Times.
The 44-year-old began her "year of health" in 2020 after speaking with a fertility doctor who said she would have a better chance of successful IVF if she lost weight, pagesix.com reports. "Basically nobody wanted me to lose weight except my mom," she continued.
The actress added: "People thought I would lose my pigeon hole in my career, play a fat funny character, and they wanted me to continue in that."
Starting slowly with long walks and a low-sugar, high-protein diet, Wilson decided to take on the challenge for himself.
Eventually, she worked her way up to two-and-a-half-hour workout sessions at the Sydney Opera House in Australia, doing "crazy" cardio sessions and climbing stairs.
