‘As women, we get taught so often to abuse our body and hate our body,’ she said in an interview with the ABC.
Speaking about her new Netflix show Wellmania, Celeste said she liked ‘using’ her body to get laughs.
‘There’s a fair bit of training that goes into it, but I just refuse to hate how I look,’ she said.

‘And I go into a lot of stuff thinking that, and I think that’s how it comes across — and how I got to where I am.’
In her comedy-drama, Wellmania, which dropped on Netflix on March 29, Celeste plays Liv, a woman who takes to a ‘wellness journey’ after a shock health diagnosis.
