A-list actress, 45, looks completely unrecognisable in throwback snap – can YOU guess who it is?

An A-list star looked completely unrecognisable in an unearthed snap from the Noughties.

She is one of Hollywood’s most successful comedy actors, as well as a writer and producer. 

The Australian actress launched her acting career in 2003, with a role in a SBS comedy series.

She went on to find fame in a blockbuster Hollywood film in 2011, before taking on a lead role in the a musical comedy trilogy.

Now 45, the star has become well known for her outrageous on-screen persona and scene-stealing performances.

It’s Rebel Wilson!

Beaming for the camera in the snap, the Bridesmaids actress looked worlds away from how we know her now.

Then, she had short dark curly hair which couldn’t be more different from her new svelte look and wavy blonde locks. 

Dressed in a black glitter top and trousers, Rebel posed for the snap, where she received a $12,000 (roughly £5,700) Scholarship, at the Wharf Theatre in Sydney in 2002.

Many know Rebel as ‘Fat Amy’ in the Pitch Perfect films, which became the highest-grossing musical comedy films of all time.

But in 2020, she shed a whopping 36kg during her ‘year of health’ and some help from Ozempic.

In conversation with The Sunday Times last year, the movie star confessed about weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Monjouro: ‘Someone like me could have a bottomless appeтιтe for sweets, so I think those drugs can be good.’

Rebel previously said that her Pitch Perfect contract prohibited her from losing weight.

The movie franchise came to a close in 2017 and four years later the mother-of-one lost over 70 pounds.

In July 2021 she revealed on Instagram Live about her weight loss journey: ‘It first started when I was looking into fertility stuff and the doctor was like, ‘Well, you’d have a much better chance if you were healthier.’

‘That’s kind of what started it, that if I lost some excess weight that it would give me a better chance for freezing eggs and having the eggs be a better quality. 

‘It wasn’t even really myself, it was more thinking of a future mini-me, really.’

And she spoke about it again with People in May 2022.

She shared: ‘I only started thinking of fertility when I was 39 so you feel quite late but then there are women in their mid-40s who’ve been successful.’

Rebel added, ‘Look at Janet Jackson, it’s pretty inspiring,’ referring to Janet giving birth to her son at age 50.

When she discussed fertility treatments with a doctor: ‘He looked me up and down and said, ‘You’d do much better if you were healthier.”

Rebel confessed: ‘I was taken aback. I thought, ‘Oh God, this guy’s so rude.’ He was right. I was carrying around a lot of excess weight.’

She reflected at the time, ‘It’s almost like I didn’t think of my own needs. I thought of a future child’s needs that really inspired me to get healthier.’

Rebel is now mother to two-year-old daughter Royce, who she welcomed via surrogate and shares with wife Ramona Agruma.

In regards to how she achieved her weight loss, Wilson focused on becoming more active by walking and doing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with her personal trainer.
