"Magda Szubanski has revealed that she used to be &amp;quot;frightened&amp;quot; that she would die young. The Kath and Kim actress, who signed up as the face of Australian weight loss company Jenny Craig in 2009, said that she needed a machine to help her breathe at night and was always in pain before she lost 25kg.  Szubanski told New Idea magazine: &amp;quot;In my darkest moments, I was frightened that I would shorten my life considerably and be wheelchair-bound.&amp;quot; The 49-year-old also revealed that she is looking forward to her upcoming 50th birthday now because she has never felt more healthy. She said: &amp;quot;I feel amazing. It just keeps getting better.&amp;quot; Szubanski was recently photographed in a swimming costume and admitted that she loves working out at the beach. She said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve always swum and enjoyed the beach. I think it&amp;#039;s vital that people of all shapes and sizes get out and be active.&amp;quot; A movie version of Kath and Kim was mentioned in reports last month, although Szubanski said that her &amp;quot;lips are sealed&amp;quot; on the matter.
