Promo Trail: Jennifer Hudson Visits The Weight Watchers NYC Center
As much as I openly stan for Jennifer Hudson those Weight Watchers commercials sends this fat kid running (well, speed walking) straight to the fridge. I wiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!
At a party for her new book, “I Got This: How I Changed My Ways And Lost What Weighed Me Down,” the Academy Award winner revealed to The Huffington Post that she turned down the starring role in Precious because it would have been too emotionally taxing at the time.
“I’m totally fine with my decision. I got my Oscar,” said Hudson, whose performance as Effie White in 2006’s “Dreamgirls” earned her the award for Best Supporting Actress. “I’m a firm believer that what is meant for you is meant for you, and that was clearly meant for Gabourey Sidibe. I adore her, she did an amazing job, and again I did not turn the role down because of the weight situation. I just felt the character was doing things, at least in my script that I got, that were places I did not want to go and not where I needed to go.”
