Actress Rebel Wilson has become famous for playing loud, confident and funny female roles. Privately, however, things were rather sad for a long time. In an interview, Wilson provided very personal insights.
The secret that actress Rebel Wilson recently revealed sent shockwaves around the world. She revealed that she only had sex for the first time when she was 35. She, of all people, who has spent years building up the public image of a sexually confident, strong woman, should actually be so prudish? Many fans couldn’t believe that the woman who played Rebel Wilson in films like “Isn’t It Romantic” and “Pitch Perfect” had so little to do with the real Rebel Wilson. In real life, the Australian told the Sunday Times, the successful actress led an extremely lonely life for a long time – characterized by self-pity.
She spent nights sitting around at home in Los Angeles and eating tons of ice cream. It was like a scene from “Bridget Jones,” “but sadder.” The next morning she got ready for her binge eating. Rebel Wilson lived her entire 20s and into her 30s in seclusion. She felt that she was so unlovable that she didn’t even try to find love. Romanticism did not take place for Wilson during this time. Not even a date. Not to mention sex. Back then, she kissed more people in her films than in real life.
Rebel Wilson lived life as a lone wolf for a long time
“Plus, the marriages I’ve been through – my parents’ – always seemed to be bad for women. So I thought, screw being treated like that, I’m just going to go in the complete opposite direction,” Wilson said. Sunday Times”. It was only after her father’s death that Wilson dared to change direction. At 35, she had had enough of living life as a lone wolf.
Not wanting to die an old maid, she began devouring advice books and trying to find her way into the world of flirting. In the end it was friends who set her up and helped her have sex for the first time. Then she started the search for the one true love and dated everyone who wanted to date her. It would be another five years before she tackled her second big problem: the eating disorder. Even in her childhood, she used food as a source of comfort, just like her mother did. The father, Wilson also revealed in her memoirs “Rebel Rising,” was verbally and physically violent.
Rebel Wilson had an ambivalent relationship with her body
At the beginning of her career she used her weight to give herself a push. To do this, she deliberately made herself as unattractive as possible. People celebrated Wilson for the way she treated her body. She seemed to be “body positivity” in action. But there was a battle raging inside her. While on the one hand she believed in a positive attitude towards the body, she did not always behave accordingly. The binge eating was almost a form of self-harm. Wilson has since lost a lot of weight and found a weight that suits her.
Rebel Wilson has now found love with the designer Ramona Agruma. The two are engaged and have a daughter together.
