"I couldn't lose a massive amount of weight because it was in the contracts for that movie. You can't lose -- I think it's not more than 10 pounds or gain more than 10 pounds. You have to kind of stay at the weight. It's in your contract," she said, reported Variety.

Wilson added, "I was thinking for a while that I'd like get healthier... I was stereotyped in playing that fat, funny friend, which is so hard because I love those roles. I love doing the roles, I love those characters. But then I did want to do more things, but I felt like being the bigger girl, you're just more pigeonholed."
