In I Feel Pretty, Schumer plays Renee, a woman whos always wanted to be undeniably pretty but struggles with body image issues. Even a baby shakes her confidence when he starts crying during a game of peek-a-boo. However, after falling off a stationary bike in a spin class, Renee suddenly sees herself as supermodel-gorgeous, even though her appearance hasnt changed.
In my mind, I [as Renee] am Gisele, I am one the Jenner-Kardashians, gorgeous, Schumer explained to Ellen DeGeneres.
Imbued with a new sense of self-confidence, Renee begins remaking her life with a new boyfriend (played by Rory Scovel) and a new job. During an interview for a position in the fashion industry, Renee stuns her potential employers by saying with absolute sincerity, Modeling is an option for me, but its not who I am.
Its a really funny and sweet movie that I think will make us all feel better, Schumer told DeGeneres. It made me feel better to play the role.
