The Bob Trevino Likes It star has neither shared a specific fitness or diet plan nor responded to rumors that she’s been taking a GLP-1 . She has, however, been vocal about self-image and the body positivity movement in the past: “I think bigger bodies are not as ‘trendy’ as they used to be, which is really sad to me. But it’s more of a conversation of the fact that we all struggle with self-love, and I don’t think any young person has really figured it out yet,” she said in a 2022 interview.

Although she left Euphoria after season 2, Ferreira previously shared her career goals with PEOPLE, explaining, “I knew what I wanted from a very young age.”

“I think really the confidence is just in knowing my worth and believing in myself, which is always hard,” she added. “Every day I learn something new about me and my craft, and as I get older too, things happen.”
