Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira has a new movie coming out on Friday called Bob Trevino Likes It.
The 28-year-old actress made the film before she lost around 50lbs.
In a trailer for the drama, Barbie was full-figured to play a beautiful young woman with a terrible father. It is a reminder of what the star used to look like before changing her diet.
These days the actress is quite slender and looks great in a bikini. There has been persistent speculation that she has taken Ozempic – the diabetes drug that helps people lose weight – to slim down for her career.
Fans were shocked by her shape as they seemed to forget she used to be a bigger size.
‘That is the old Barbie, now she is thinner, but I love her both ways!’ said one fan as another added, ‘Forgot she used to look that way, she is different wow.’ Others were more concerned about her doing Euphoria again: ‘Ay girl u better be in euphoria season 3.’
Bob Trevino Likes It is a sweet film from director Tracie Laymon about a woman who tries to track down her selfish father, named Bob Trevino, after he ghosts her, only to meet a nicer Bob Trevino when on Facebook.

The film is about finding role models outside of one’s own family.
While on Facebook she meets another Bob Trevino, played by John Leguizamo, who is much kinder than her own dad.
The two develop their own father/daughter relationship which is rewarding to both.
Barbie has been winning raves for her role as the sweet but desperate woman who wants a bond with her dad.
These days Barbie looks like an entirely different person after losing over 50lbs. She won’t say how much weight she lost, but it appears to be a dramatic amount.
In February Barbie was so body confident she even posed in a bikini.
The pinup looked stunning as she slipped into a stylish beige triangle bikini top, which she paired with matching skimpy bottoms.
Showcasing her new trim figure, she styled her brunette tresses in a messy updo as she smoked a cigarette while posing seductively for the camera.
The star captioned the sizzling post with ‘I luv la’ before sharing a snap of her pal Ben Evans enjoying a soak in a hot tub.

Some fans have speculated she is taking Ozempic, the diabetes drug that helps people lose weight, but she does not talk about her body; seen March 11 in LA
But Barbie has a history of not discussing her size so she has never confirmed nor denied using Ozempic.
Barbie was in 16 episodes of Euphoria as Kat Hernandez from 2019 until 2022.
After that, she appeared in an episode of Robot Chicken in 2022 and then had the role of Nessie in the movie Nope.
The star has two films in post-production: Faces Of Death and House Of Spoils.
Four years ago she talked about her ‘crippling anxiety,’ ‘depression issues, eating issues, paranoias,’ and the other ‘weird things’ she insists are a result of the internet.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan in 2020, Barbie got candid about mental health -and the pressures and world events that have negatively impacted her generation.
‘As an elder Gen Z, we’ve gotten our fair share of bad times,’ she said.
‘I mean, my first day of kindergarten was 9/11. We were the guinea pigs of the internet — you’re 11, and the darkness of the entire world is just packed into your computer and you’re scrolling through it.

‘That had to do something to my brain,’ she went on.
‘I mean, I got crippling anxiety. A lot of depression issues, eating issues, paranoias, and just weird things that I’m one thousand per cent certain are from the internet.’
The star also admitted to working through a Juul addiction.
‘I don’t know if we’re designed to do that… to chat online with strangers when you’re nine. God knows who I was talking to,’ she said.
Feeling things deeply, though, may have helped her career. Barbie says she was an ’emotional’ and ’empathetic’ kid, which led her to acting.
Barbie also said the country has become a more ‘hateful’ place.
That contributed to a lot of ‘sadness’ and ‘mental neuroses,’ particularly in younger people.
‘In the years since Trump was elected, I’ve noticed how popular very, very hateful beliefs are,’ she said.
‘It’s a disservice to oneself to think that everyone thinks the way you do. It’s more apparent now than ever in my life that I am living in a different world than a lot of people.’

‘We think we’re the greatest country, we think we’re perfect, we think we’re the land of the free, but inherently, we’re not. We’re disillusioned about the country.’
‘I think that’s where Gen Z gets a lot of the angst and the sadness and the mental neuroses. We still haven’t reckoned with this.’
In the interview, Barbie also discussed her role in the new film Unpregnant, a comedy about abortion.
‘Normalizing abortion is what we have to do,’ she said.
‘Society puts this pressure on people who are getting abortions, that they should feel a lot of guilt and shame and really emotional about it. Most people are just relieved.’
