Rebel Wilson opens up on 30kg weight loss during ‘year of health’ and feels she is ‘getting better looking with age’

Rebel Wilson has opened up further about her ‘year of health’ which saw her lose 30kg as she had a complete lifestyle overhaul to get fit.

The actor took the step to visit a ‘wellness retreat’ last year as she began thinking about her fertility, deciding to freeze her eggs.

After speaking to a doctor she was advised to get healthier to ‘make the process go better’ and credited walking with helping her transformation.

‘I get a little emotional when I ask myself why I didn’t care about my health before this. It just wasn’t a priority, and I didn’t know how to do it right,’ she said in an interview with Shape.

Turning to her Austrian health retreat she revealed: ‘While there I learned that moderate — not even fast paced — walking is the best way for me to lose unnecessary body fat.’

Rebel, 41, added that her new look has had a positive effect on her from the inside out, saying: ‘I don’t want to sound superficial, and looks aren’t everything, but I think I’m getting better looking with age.’

Rebel took a look at her overall health over the past year in the hope of having a baby.

She said of her decision: ‘As all good career women out there should know, if that’s something that interests you, it’s a pretty good time to do it.

‘Getting to 40s is kind of even leaving it a little too late. It’s better to do it a bit earlier if you can.’

She went on: ‘I was thinking about fertility and having good quality eggs in the bank, so I was like, “okay, I’m going to do this, I’m going to get healthy”.’

However the star, who battles polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), recently hinted at a setback in her journey but remained hopeful.

‘To all the women out there struggling with fertility, I feel ya,’ she said on Instagram.

‘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. (sic).’
