Amy Schumer, known for her witty humor and candid nature, recently discussed the pressure she faced to lose weight in the entertainment industry.
While appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show in the U.K., the 35-year-old comedian revealed that she was advised to slim down before filming Trainwreck, highlighting the unrealistic standards set for women in Hollywood.
Schumer disclosed that she was given a strict directive to weigh less than 140 pounds for her role in the movie.
She expressed her frustration at the notion that women above this weight limit would be unappealing on screen, emphasizing the superficial expectations prevalent in the industry.
Despite complying with the weight requirement for Trainwreck, Schumer expressed her reluctance to undergo such changes for future projects.
She humorously recounted the absurdity of having to alter her appearance solely to conform to Hollywood’s narrow beauty standards, reflecting on the irony of the situation.
