Celebrities typically have trainers, nutritionists, and other specialists at their beck and call to keep their bodies in tiptop shape, but just like the rest of us, they lost access to them over the pandemic. It happened to Jennifer Coolidge, and she had gotten so insecure about the weight gain that she even considered turning down her role in "White Lotus."
"I tried to get out of it because I was too fat," she told People. She said being cooped up at home wasn't the best for maintaining her fitness goals. "During COVID, I just let everything go," she added. And so when she was offered the chance to star in "White Lotus," she thought about passing on it. "I'm vain," she joked. "I wanted to look a certain way when you're on film ... I was not ready for this cool opportunity. It goes to show, you should always be in the best shape because you just don't know."
Luckily, one of her good friends told her that it was too good an opportunity to pass up. "I had a smart girlfriend who talked me off the ledge," she said. The HBO show eventually drew millions of viewers, and even Coolidge herself couldn't believe it turned out to be a success. "It's a miracle that happened. What a fluke, you know?" she said. "We went and did it and we filmed it and then people liked it."
