“As women, we are so often taught to abuse our bodies and hate our bodies,” she said in an interview with the ABC.
Speaking on her new Netflix show Wellmania, Celeste said she enjoys “using” her body for laughs.
“It takes quite a bit of training, but I just refuse to hate the way I look,” she said.
The special, ‘Fine Thanks’, is her stand-up show that was filmed at the Sydney Opera House during her live tour.
“And I go into a lot of things by thinking that, and I think that’s how it comes across ā and how I got where I am.”
In her comedy-drama Wellmania, which was released on Netflix on March 29, Celeste plays Liv, a woman who embarks on a “wellness journey” after a health diagnosis.
She admitted that her character is “brave”, while she says she is a bit more cautious in nature.
