Convey a “positive message” to young people. This was Rebel Wilson's wish in revealing details about her sexuality. In an interview with People magazine, the Australian actress said she lost her virginity at the age of 35.
“People can wait until they're ready or wait until they're a little more mature,” she explains. “And I think that could be a positive message. You obviously don't have to wait until you're in your 30s like I did, but you shouldn't feel pressure as a young person,” the “Pitch Perfect” actress added.
The actress and comedian, now 44 years old, wanted to speak out to help young people, she who remembers avoiding the subject as much as possible when she was a teenager. “I got into the habit of leaving the room as soon as the conversation started. And then people who were like,
Oh, at 24, it's late
... I was sitting here and thinking, "Oh my God and me being 35, what should I say?" I must look so bad,” she recalls.
A promotion of his memoirs?
If she describes her experience as “late”, Rebel Wilson believes that if she had been born twenty years later, her experience and the discovery of her sexuality would have been “very different”. “I just knew that I was attracted to men, and that was normal,” remembers the actress seen in “No Pain No Gain”, or “Single, instructions for use”.

“I started to open up more after my father died and realized that even though I had always seen marriage as a terrible thing and a waste of time, I started to open up to it all “, she says. “It was only years later that I met women and had feelings for a woman,” continues the woman whose memoir “Rebel Rising” will be published on April 2.
After being in a relationship with Jacob Busch, an American businessman, Rebel Wilson formalized in 2022 her relationship with Ramona Agruma, founder and designer of the “Lemon Ve Limon” brand. The two women have since been engaged and welcomed a child in November 2022 after using a surrogate mother.
