A photo of Rebel Wilson has gone viral after she shared details about the time she lost her virginity.
The Australian star, 44, recalled the intimate moment in her memoir, Rebel Rising, which was published in April.
In the book, the Pitch Perfect performer said she didn’t have sex for the first time until the age of 35.
She also discussed waiting to have sex in an interview with People magazine, where she insisted she wants to send a 'positive message' of reassurance to young people who want to wait.

"People can wait 'till they're ready or wait 'till they're a bit more mature", she 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."
Rebel continued: "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'."
So, back to the viral picture.

"Throwback Thursday… cheers to the most beautiful girl I know.!… Inside and out. 'The Full Package' @rebelwilson," Mickey captioned the post with a red heart emoji.
And what is the significance of this picture, you ask? Well, Rebel revealed in her memoir Mickey was the first person she had sex with.
In a chapter titled 'Late Bloomer', Rebel revealed that Mickey Gooch Jr. 38, was the man she first had sex with nearly 10 years ago.

"And, Micks, I know this might be news to you if you are reading this, but yes I lost my virginity to you," she wrote.

The pair went on to date for six months, but the relationship eventually ran its course.
