Rebel Wilson has shared details about different aspects of her life in her upcoming book Rebel Rising, which is set to be released on April 2.
The 44-year-old actress has already started talking about some of the content in the memoir.
One chapter focuses on a former colleague whom she describes as being difficult to work with, later revealing that she was referring to Sacha Baron Cohen. However, representatives for Baron Cohen have refuted the claims, calling them ‘demonstrably false’.
A spokesperson for Baron Cohen stated to The Hollywood Reporter that there is substantial evidence, including documents, footage, and eyewitness accounts, that contradict Wilson’s claims.
Another revelation in Rebel Rising is Wilson’s admission that she lost her virginity at the age of 35, a topic she usually avoided discussing with friends due to feeling embarrassed.
In an interview with People, Wilson expressed her desire to convey a positive message that not everyone has to lose their virginity during their teenage years.
“People can wait till they’re ready or wait till they’re a bit more mature,” the Pitch Perfect star said.
“And I think that could be a positive message. You obviously don’t have to wait until you’re in your thirties like me, but you shouldn’t feel pressure as a young person.
“There was one vague time, I think I told my best friend, ‘Oh, yeah, I just did it to just get it over with when I was like 23,’ just to really avoid the questions.
“Normally I would just leave the room when the conversation was happening, and then the people that said, ‘Oh, at 24, it’s so late.’
“And then I’m sitting here thinking, ‘Oh my God, my number’s 35. What the hell? I’m going to look like the biggest loser.'”
Wilson also reckons if she’d been born a couple of decades later, she might have had a ‘very different’ exploration of her own sexuality.
She said: “It’s absolutely incredible, if I had been born 20 years later, I probably would’ve explored my sexuality more. I just knew I was attracted to men, and that was the normal thing.
“And so when I started opening myself up probably more after my father’s death and realizing, oh, even though I’d seen marriage as a terrible thing and waste of time, I started opening myself up to that.
“And then only years later, meeting women and having feelings for a woman, and that, I just think it’s a sign of where society kind of was.”
