Can you guess how old Rebel Wilson is? We guarantee that you are wrong because, Rebel Wilson is a lot older than you think.
It is common knowledge that actors lie about their age. They basically have to. Casting directors don’t want to cast a 40 year old for a role that is meant for a teenager. But, if you look the part, then you better lie your butt off.
Recently, it was revealed that actress Rebel Wilson (‘Pitch Perfect 2‘) is a lot older than you think she is. Rebel Wilson played a college student in ‘Pitch Perfect’ and earlier this year Rebel Wilson threw herself a 29th birthday this year, apparently upsetting an old friend. After learning of Rebel Wilson’s alleged 29th birthday, the friend went to Women’s Day to reveal that Rebel Wilson is a lot older than 29.
“I studied with Rebel at Tara Anglican School for Girls in North Parramatta, Sydney,” spills the source. “But no-one knew of a Rebel Wilson. Her name is – or was – Melanie Elizabeth Bownds, and she’s 36 – she was born in 1979 and we left school in 1997.”
Rebel Wilson is not the only actress that lies about their age. Mariah Carey’s age is actually unknown. Seriously, it is unknown. We know George Washington’s age but, we don’t even know Mariah Carey’s age.
