The ‘Pitch Perfect’ actress has opened up about finding her style and the struggles of comedy actresses in Hollywood.
Actress Rebel Wilson has said she feels a fashion responsibility to her fans because of the lack of women in Hollywood her size and age. The 29 year old was speaking in this month's issue of Elle magazine about her new found Hollywood status ahead of the release of her latest movie Pitch Perfect 2.
Rebel Wilson is becoming more comfortable with fashion.
“‘I am the type of girl with zero fashion sense but I am getting into it now. It’s becoming important for me. I saw a lot of girls were beginning to notice what I wear and I feel a kind of responsibility, because there aren’t any women in Hollywood my size and age,” Wilson said.
The Aussie star also said she enjoys keeping fit, telling the magazine, “You need to be physically strong for this job. I like to have the stamina to work 16 hours a day. I may eat a lot, but I am very healthy.”

Rebel also opened up about the struggles of being a female comedian in the male dominated comedy sphere. "How I see it is, I do two types of job: dream jobs like female-driven comedies and the other job, which is basically the boys' club.”
“I have done three big movies with men – these are talented, strong-minded males, but you have to find a way to work that system. You aren’t being paid much and you start at a disadvantage with the script. Usually, you don’t have any cool jokes and you’re there to support the male actor,” Wilson continued.

“Those male roles are 90% written and formed by the time the filming starts but the female roles are only 20% there. It’s unfair, but I love being funny so I improve the role, work with the limited parameters and opportunities and maximise them.”
“If you are a woman in that situation you work harder, sharpen your skills more; you need to be two or three times as good as the guys. I just go in there and try and crush it,” the Pitch Perfect star concluded.
