Yeah, that bit was so confusing. Clearly in no way fat. The actress was maybe not super slender, but I can't believe anyone in London would look at her and think she was even overweight. And that explanation is clearly bull, the character never once comments on her own weight. The PM at least maybe looked believably confused at the other characters calling her fat, but it's more believable that the character was intended to be fat and he just thought she was pretty, regardless.

Same with Jan in the Grease movie. What a weird thing way to cast.

Yeah, I couldn't buy her story at all because she was nowhere near fat. I know plenty of women who are much heavier than she is and they don't get anywhere near the level of fat-shaming that she got so the entire thing just didn't resonate with me as being realistic at all - it felt totally contrived.

I've only ever seen bits of this movie and not the fat-shaming parts, but yeah, Hollywood-fat is not real-world-fat, and it's not typical for women who are merely Hollywood-fat to be fat shamed by random adults around them. I mean, it can happen, but it's not going to be this whole thing.
