Rosie O'Donnell Names the Star Who Told Her to Lose 20 Pounds - Just Jared - Celebrity News and Gossip

Rosie O’Donnell is spilling some details about her life in Hollywood.

In a new interview, she spoke out about her weight loss, and recalled a story from the set of the hit 1992 film A League of Their Own.

She shared with People, “It’s very strange to just buy a pair of jeans that fit. When I would do late-night, my biggest concern wasn’t my set—it was, did I look fat? On League of Their Own, [director] Penny Marshall didn’t help by saying, ‘Rosie, I want you to lose 20 lbs.’ I’m like, ‘You think I carry it around for fun, Penny?’ When I look back, I go, ‘God, I wish I could have enjoyed the size I was.’ I’m now at that same weight. But I feel much healthier, more powerful in my own physicality.”

By the way, Rosie revealed she lost 60 pounds over the years.
