Rebel Wilson's Eye-Opening Interview!!

Check out what the actress and comedian had to say about her health, her responsibilities, and the industry from a woman’s perspective! PLUS the stunning photos!!

Rebel Wilson is gracing the cover of ELLE UK!! Despite being seriously successful, hilarious, and just about the best person EVER, sometimes Rebel faces a lot of negativity around her appearance. Instead of letting dumb comments get to her, she decides to channel that into making sure that young girls have someone to look to, so that they won’t feel insecure about themselves.

“I am the type of girl with zero fashion sense but I am getting into it now. It’s becoming important for me. I saw a lot of girls were beginning to notice what I wear and I feel a kind of responsibility, because there aren’t any women in Hollywood my size and age… You need to be physically strong for this job. I like to have the stamina to work 16 hours a day. I may eat a lot, but I am very healthy.”

ATTA GIRL!! Rebel also spilled about how she fits in the industry and how she feels about the differences between how male and female rolls are written and executed:

“How I see it is, I do two types of job: dream jobs like female-driven comedies and the other job, which is basically the boys’ club. I have done three big movies with men – these are talented, strong-minded males, but you have to find a way to work that system. You aren’t being paid much and you start at a disadvantage with the script. Usually, you don’t have any cool jokes and you’re there to support the male actor. Those male roles are 90% written and formed by the time the filming starts but the female roles are only 20% there. It’s unfair, but I love being funny so I improve the role, work with the limited parameters and opportunities and maximise them… If you are a woman in that situation you work harder, sharpen your skills more; you need to be two or three times as good as the guys. I just go in there and try and crush it.”

But the best part of the entire interview was when she recalled how she decided to be an actress. GET READY.

“I was in Mozambique [on a] trip. I caught malaria and the medicines caused a hallucination. I dreamt I won an Oscar for acting. I know it sounds stupid, but it was so real and I just knew then it would happen. When I came back, everyone was like: ‘Rebel, you can’t be an actress because you’re so smart,’ but I was sure.”

THAT IS WHY WE LOVE REBEL!!!
