Rebel Wilson reportedly secured a $10 million paycheck for her role as Fat Amy in “Pitch Perfect 3” as long as she didn’t gain or lose more than 10 pounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to her memoir, “Rebel Rising,” which was obtained by People, the salary was a huge increase from her paycheck for the 2011 film, “Bridesmaids,” which was $3,500.<\/p>\n

The small amount of money Wilson earned for “Bridesmaids” didn’t bother her, she wrote, because she was just happy to be in a film, and the small salary was enough for her to pay the fee to get into the SAG-AFTRA union.<\/p>\n

But, according to Vanity Fair, Wilson wrote in her memoir that her agency “liked me fat because they got hundreds of thousands of dollars in commission for each film where I played the fat funny girl.”<\/p>\n

REBEL WILSON DISCUSSES \u2018INTERESTING\u2019 WAYS PEOPLE HAVE TREATED HER AFTER WEIGHT LOSS TRANSFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an interview with The New York Times, Wilson revealed that Universal Pictures originally offered her $9 million for her role in “Pitch Perfect,” but she was able to negotiate for eight figures.<\/p>\n

“Universal Studios are incredible, but did they make a ton of money from the \u2018Pitch Perfect\u2019 movies? Yes,” Wilson said in her interview. “So, despite me absolutely loving all those folks at Universal, did I use that leverage to my advantage? Yes. And in the 11th hour, I go, \u2018You know, that\u2019s a lovely offer of $9 million. But I need one more to make it 10.\u2019<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s a big milestone when you\u2019re an actor. To receive an eight-figure offer, for a woman, is huge. Sometimes women don\u2019t like to talk about that. Whereas, I don\u2019t think the guys have any issues saying they get $20 million a movie.”<\/p>\n

During an interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast last year, Wilson went viral after revealing her “Pitch Perfect” contract required her to maintain her current weight.<\/p>\n

“You can\u2019t lose \u2014 I think it\u2019s not more than 10 pounds or gain more than 10 pounds. You have to kind of stay at the weight. It\u2019s in your contract,” Rebel said at the time.<\/p>\n

So, she felt trapped in a “multimillion-dollar pigeonhole” due to her weight.<\/p>\n

As Wilson progressed in her career, she made the decision to lose weight. In 2020, the actress detailed her dramatic 77-pound weight loss during her “year of health.”<\/p>\n

Rebel’s weight loss prompted some of her fans to turn against her, she told The New York Times.<\/p>\n

“Some were like, \u2018Oh, we don\u2019t think she\u2019s funny anymore,\u2019 or, \u2018Now she\u2019s lost me as a fan because I can\u2019t relate to her anymore,'” she said. “But I think if they read the book, they\u2019ll understand my journey with weight and health. Obviously, I have a sweet tooth. That\u2019s my vice. And in times of stress, I\u2019d been dealing with it by eating. I don\u2019t think that will ever, ever go away.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
