While hosting this year's BAFTAs, Rebel Wilson took the opportunity to address discussions surrounding her significant weight loss - and she did it the best way.
The Pitch Perfect actress spent Sunday night cracking jokes in front of some of the most prestigious names in entertainment, and decided to confront the speculation head-on.

Sharing an image of herself at the 2020 BAFTA awards, Rebel told the audience that she "might look a bit different from the last time you guys saw me here."
She went on to say that she's always asked what inspired her to lose weight, leaving some audience members in stitches - and others looking a little bit uncomfortable!

"What was that Rebel Wilson pre weight loss photo about? So weird" tweeted one viewer.
"I'm happy for Rebel Wilson and everyone else who has managed to lose weight and/or become more comfortable in their own skin...but it feels really icky the way people treat weight loss like the most heroic thing a big person can do" commented another.
Elsewhere in the ceremony, Rebel had viewers cringing in their seats when she made an 'awkward' joke about Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.

On the night, Will Smith won the BAFTA for Best Film Actor in a Leading Role for his performance as Richard Williams, the father of Venus and Serena Williams in the critically acclaimed biopic King Richard.
Although the actor wasn't there on the night to collect his award, it didn't stop Rebel from cracking a shocking joke at his expense.
The actress went all in with a cheeky comment on the Smiths’ relationship following the news they have an open marriage.
People who tuned in for the prestigious awards ceremony had a rather mixed response to the dig.
