Queen Latifah has revealed she thought she would never make it in Hollywood, due to her look and size.
The rapper turned actor and entrepreneur was taking part in a discussion at the Cannes Lions Festival about how obesity is viewed, when she reflected on “the bar she thought she could never meet.”
She said: “I watched this idea of what beauty was supposed to be – size two, blue-eyed. That was being pushed on everyone as I was growing up. I thought that was a bar I was never going to meet.
The star of The Equalizer said she wondered how she was going to make it in the music industry “where there’s lots of pressure on everybody.”

She credited Oprah Winfrey’s longtime openness about her weight for changing the conversation and referenced Winfrey’s obesity special on Hulu that aired in March. Latifah said she’d been watching Winfrey’s journey all her life, and reflected:
“When I think of her and what she’s been through on that journey, I love the idea that someone will not have to endure the same journey today, that they will be able to walk into their doctor’s office and just have a conversation.”
