Amy Schumer Urged to Lose Weight for ‘Trainwreck’: ‘If You Weigh Over 140 Pounds…It Will Hurt People’s Eyes’
Even after writing and being slated to star in the comedy “Trainwreck,” Amy Schumer was shocked to be asked to lose weight for the role she created. In a new interview on “The Jonathan Ross Show,” the actress revealed that she was shamed into shedding pounds before filming started.
“It was explained to me before I did that movie that if you weigh over 140 pounds as a woman in Hollywood, if you’re on the screen, it will hurt people’s eyes,” she recalled. Schumer ultimately succumbed to the pressure and dropped a few pounds before filming.
“I didn’t know that so I lost some weight to do that, but never again,” she added.
