Fate
Chrissy Metz is a strong advocate and believe of fate. Although she’s endured plenty of rocky roads along the way, she’s very grateful for where she is now and has no regrets. Metz thinks everything happens for a reason and said she, “wouldn’t have this amazing role if I’d already lost all the weight. So I have to believe that everything happens for a reason, and I do feel that way in life.”
Following Her Character’s Journey
When examining her character, Chrissy sees how both her and Kate are living parallel lives. Metz explained, “The trajectory is that Kate will be losing weight just as I will in real life to reflect the character in her arc and her journey. That’s exciting for me, especially because losing weight is something I’ve struggled with and contemplated. I have lost weight and I’ve gained weight back.”
