Danielle Fishel On Boy Meets World Weight Gain Story

“They called me to the office and told me that they would do it; it was not at all the same as they asked,” he explained. “Will was getting fat, I was getting fat. [They said]: ‘Obviously you guys are a little overweight, so we’re going to write an episode about it, and we wanted you to know. This is what it’s going to be, it’s going to be really funny.’”

Danielle said that, at the time, Will was fine with the situation, but later found the whole thing “really painful and hurtful.” He wasn’t happy with the story either, but he didn’t feel like he could talk.

He said: “The most difficult part for me was the meeting. “Because Will was like: ‘Oh, yeah, I’m totally ready’ right away, what I know now is that he was insecure, and it hurt and it really hurt him.”

Danielle added: “But I didn’t know that. “And he was so funny, and he was such an amazing actor, and he was like: ‘Yeah, sure, that’s fine, that’s fine with me,’ and to me, it was like: ‘Oh, wow…’ No. someone had said anything to me about it; I knew I was fat, but I was still a size four!”
