Actress Amy Schumer says she was shocked when she was told to lose weight before starring in "Trainwreck".

The 35-year-old actress was told to drop the pounds before appearing in the hit film to avoid "hurting people's eyes" and whilst she initially went along with it, she soon realised it was wrong, reported Female First.

"The only change was that it was explained to me before I did that movie ['Trainwreck'] that if you weigh over 140 pounds as a woman in Hollywood, if you're on the screen it will hurt people's eyes ... I didn't know that so I lost some weight to do that but never again," she told "The Jonathan Ross Show".
