Rebel Wilson once got candid about her sex life as she revealed she was a 'later bloomer' when it came to the bedroom, having lost her virginity aged 35 to a famous actor.
The Pitch Perfect star has built up a bit of a reputation for being open and honest with fans, most recently revealing that her 2020 weight loss has opened up more doors for her career-wise.
During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Ben +1, the Aussie actor confessed: "From that point [after losing weight], I started getting offered more serious roles.

"And I did this British indie movie that was really serious about traumatic brain injury, and then now I'm playing Lady Capulet."
"I think I kind of untypecast myself by losing weight," she went on. "I mean, I loved being the bigger, funny girl, loved playing Fat Amy in the Pitch Perfect movies. It was so cool and that still is me in so many respects, but I guess people... started to see me a bit differently."
Rebel decided to lose weight after being advised by a medic that it would increase her chance of success at IVF. In 2022, the star welcomed a baby girl called Royce, months after coming out as gay with her now-wife Ramona Agruma.
But this isn't the first time Rebel has refused to shy away from tough topics, as she previously opened up about still being a virgin in her 30s.

The actor wrote about it in her 2024 memoir Rebel Rising, revealing she didn't have sex until she was 35.
Not only that, but that she did the deed with actor and film producer Mickey Gooch Jr.
Wilson wrote of the 39-year-old: “And, Micks, I know this might be news to you if you are reading this, but yes I lost my virginity to you.”

The pair went on to date for six months, but the relationship eventually ran its course and they went their separate ways.
Rebel hoped to send out a 'positive message' that you shouldn't have to feel a huge pressure to lose your virginity as a teenager, and instead, choose to get intimate with someone when you're truly ready, on your own terms.
"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."
After her candid admission, fans ended up raking up a throwback snap of Rebel and Mickey together, showing the pair at a New York Rangers hockey game.
"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.

Given Rebel's admission that Mickey was the first person she did the deed with, fans took to digging up the picture on social media and wasted no time sharing their comments.
"This aged perfectly," one Instagram user joked, while a second added: "Omg….," with a row of laughing emojis.
