The Grammy/Oscar winner stated that people weren’t always receptive of her image during her full figure days. And since dropping over 4 dress sizes she has been getting more endorsement deals, magazine covers, movie roles & more.
Check out a few excerpts from the interview below:
On the advantages of being slim in Hollywood:
“Last week I saw some footage of myself as I was five years ago and I was surprised. It was like I recognised myself but I didn’t. It seemed another world away. But in this slim world I do now realise I was being discriminated against. I’m offered more parts. There is much more excitement about me now.”On Believing That It Was Normal To Be Overweight:
“I never thought I was overweight. I thought my old look was pretty normal. That was how all the girls looked growing up in Chicago. I didn’t have any problem with it. It makes me smile to think back to myself when I did ‘Dreamgirls’ with Beyonce (Knowles). I did see all these women in Hollywood, all very slim and I thought, ‘Wow, these ladies are very into themselves.’ I loved that I stood out in a room. You knew when you saw this woman it was Jennifer Hudson.”On Adjusting To The Weight loss:
“There have been times when it’s a huge high, like when I walked the red carpet at the Oscars and people were screaming at me. Then I also had dinner with Beyonce (Knowles) and Alicia Keys and they just kept going on and on about how great I looked.”Its sad to say that being over weight is not the image that a lot of company’s in Hollywood wants to portray.
Tell me folks do you think she was prettier heavier or she is prettier now?
