    She famously shed 30kg during her ‘year of health’ in 2020.

    But a very different Rebel Wilson is on display in the star’s 2010 acting showreel, which was recently unearthed on YouTube.

    In the six-minute compilation of Rebel’s early career, the Australian comedian repeatedly poked fun at her weight and even described herself as a ‘bush pig’.

    The video was produced by Rebel’s then-agents to showcase her talents to Hollywood casting producers, as she was trying to break into American movies at the time.

    One clip from the showreel sees Rebel playing an overweight English woman sweating it out at an Australian ‘fat camp’.

    The sketch, about a fictional reality TV series called Fat Crackers, was taken from the Australian comedy series The Wedge.

    Another clip, taken from the improvisational comedy show Thank God You’re Here, shows the Pitch Perfect star talking to two men while on holiday in Italy. 

    One man asks Rebel, ‘How do men in Australia greet a beautiful woman?’ The Sydney-born star replies: ‘Mostly they drive past and go, “Err, you bush pig!”‘

    The showreel was complied before Rebel’s Hollywood breakthrough.

    A year later she was cast in the sleeper-hit comedy Bridesmaids, before her career-making role as Fat Amy in the 2012 movie Pitch Perfect. 

    She went on to star in the franchise’s two blockbuster sequels.

    Rebel is now trying to pivot into dramatic acting, having recently filmed a role in British independent film The Seahorse and the Almond.

    She also just shot a comedy called Senior Year, about a cheerleader who wakes after a 20-year coma and returns to high school.

    Meanwhile, the slimmed-down star showed off her sensational figure in a stylish swimsuit on Monday.

    Rebel’s plunging green one-piece drew attention to her ample cleavage as she gazed at the camera and bizarrely chomped on a piece of rope.

    Rebel flaunted her slimmed-down frame as she spent the day on a yacht.

    She later posted a gallery of snaps to Instagram, writing in the caption: ‘I’m stronger up against the ropes.’

    A day earlier, she had proudly showcased her trim waist in a tight black bodysuit, which resembled the iconic outfit worn by Olivia Newton-John in Grease.

    A shiny black belt highlighted her slender waistline, while the bodysuit clung tightly to her lean thighs and arms.

    The Pitch Perfect star styled her blonde hair loosely and accessorised with a gold necklace and tan YSL handbag.

    Rebel posted several photos of her outfit to Instagram, and also documented her day spent with her friend Hugh Sheridan.

    Hugh, an actor, last month came out as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.

    While she didn’t add a location tag, Rebel seems to be in Los Angeles at the moment.

    One of her videos was accompanied by the Miley Cyrus song Party in the U.S.A., which opens with the lyric: ‘I hopped off the plane at LAX.’

    Rebel made 2020 her ‘year of health’ and worked hard to overhaul her diet and fitness, losing an impressive 30kg (66lbs or 4.7st).

    In November, the funnywoman proudly announced on Instagram she’d reached her goal weight of 75kg (165lbs or 11.8 stone).

    ‘Hit my goal with one month to spare! Even though it’s not about a weight number, it’s about being healthy, I needed a tangible measurement to have as a goal and that was 75 kilograms,’ the Bridesmaids actress wrote.

    Rebel’s remarkable transformation is partially down to following the Mayr Method diet plan, which has been around for nearly 100 years.

    She stayed at the VivaMayr health and wellness resort in Austria last year, and continued to follow the plan after seeing ‘amazing results’.

    ‘It’s an approach that eliminates food intolerances, reduces sugar, encourages eating whole foods slowly, boosts the immune system and reduces inflammation,’ a source said.

    ‘She exercises with a personal trainer up to six times a week, goes on walks and is trying to up her protein intake nutritionally.’ 

    She has since said the most important factor of her weight loss is walking every day.
