Sisters in curves! Rebel Wilson and Melissa McCarthy 'make a pact to maintain their weight' in thin-obsessed Hollywood



They are arguably two of Hollywood biggest success stories but with criticism often leveled towards their weight and not their acting abilities.

But now, Radar has reported that actresses Rebel Wilson and Melissa McCarthy have joined forces.

The fuller figured actresses are said to have banded together to support each other and to try to maintain their weight despite the pressures from Tinsel Town.

Radaronline reports Rebel, 27, and Melissa, 43, are proud of their curves and intend to stay that way.

A source told the website: 'Neither one of them is trying to lose weight and they’ve formed this little support group to keep each other from falling into the skinny Hollywood trap.'

The pair have been friends for some time and starred together in the runaway hit Bridesmaids - while Rebel only had a smaller role compared to the older actress, but it helped propel the young Australian in to stardom.

'Rebel and Melissa have known each other for five years and there’s a lot of love there.

'Obviously, they could both snap their fingers and lose the weight because of the resources they have available to them - which could include everything from personal trainers to Lap Band surgery - but right now they’re agreeing with each other that they have to hold the line and provide a positive image for overweight girls everywhere.'

The pair have not ruled out eventually losing weight for their health but now are content with their sizes - especially as their shapes are important to their careers.

The source said: 'There will be plenty of time for dieting years from now, but Rebel and Melissa are determined to stay at their current sizes for now.'

Both woman have found themselves the target of cruel taunts previously, with Rebel turning to Jenny Craig in Australia to help her get in shape.

While she served as the face of the weight loss system, her role as 'Fat Amy' in Pitch Perfect and its sequel meant she had to drop out as she needed to remain the same size.

This year reviewer Rex Reed branded Melissa 'tractor-sized' 'female hippo' when reviewing movie Identity Theft.

Mellisa later New York Times: 'I felt really bad for someone who is swimming in so much hate.



'I just thought, that’s someone who’s in a really bad spot, and I am in such a happy spot. I laugh my head off every day with my husband and my kids who are mooning me and singing me songs.'
