“Bigger girls do better in comedy.” So says Rebel Wilson, who will reprise her role as “Fat Amy” this spring in Universal Pictures’ musical comedy Pitch Perfect 2. she tells Australia’s Daily Life, “I took something that was seen as a disadvantage–no one thinks, if you’re fat, that you’re going to be an actress and everyone’s going to love you–and turned it into a positive.” Why does Wilson think “bigger girls do better in comedy?” Wilson, who’s also starred Bachelorette and Bridesmaids, says,
“I don’t know why. Maybe because people find it easier to laugh. It’s very hard to laugh at someone who’s very attractive, I think. And normally those people don’t have a great personality anyway.”
