    Wow. I’m 27 and I still haven’t even experienced my first kiss yet. Now I feel so less insecure about that. Thank you Rebel!!!
  • So proud of her for owning and choosing when she wanted to get intimate! Specially this day and age, and when most movie always drive the message you are a loser if still a virgin in college etc. May personal choice always prevail over peer pressure.
  • @patrickkirkham
    That’s a cool story about a friend who believes in you…. that definitely is a real friend
  • @Idontwant1
    I’m so happy for Rebel. She deserves the happiness she is having.
  • @sadiedol4413
    I love that she gave her virginity away at 35. That makes it so much easier to breathe and talk about for other people.❤❤❤
  • I’m so happy she’s talking about giving away her virginity so late. (Can we please stop saying “lost?” It sounds like something we have no choice in). Regardless if you’re religious or not, liberal or conservative, queer or het, I think we can all agree that we live in an oversexed society. At the end of the day, it’s just the patriarchy saying we should all have no boundaries and be available to any and everyone at all times. I’m sick of people saying our bodies mean nothing, that sex means nothing. It’s dangerous even. And I feel like sex has become the primary focus of relationships and even lifestyle. Hookup culture sucks tbh. Being a virgin is completely normal and okay, it’s not shameful. Let’s normalize thinking there’s more to life than sex.
  • @blahco4tt
    I'm proud of her for waiting until she felt ready and encountered the right person to have it with rather then just getting it over with, as media constantly pressurizes us to do, and peers at times can, too. You only lose it once.
  • @AnnieLeslie
    There could be many reasons she waited. Could be that she just didn't want to, or didn't like anyone enough to, self esteem... I was 24 because I didn't feel comfortable with anyone to, I was really shy. So I didn't get that far in relationships. Everyone does things for thier own reasons. People saying it's cause she was bigger and no one offered are just being stupid.

    I did not expect to enjoy Rebel Wilson’s teenage hip hop band “Sistaz” hit single “When Skeletons Rule the Earth” as much as I did—🔥🔥🔥💃🏾✨
  • @alli1025
    I'm so excited for Rebel!!! So happy 4 her 💯❤❣
  • @alyseh9539
    There are plenty who would make fun of this and so many who wish they had waited longer than they did.
  • @amandab3613
    What a genuine, lovely person. Always rooting for her success!
  • @jrobertr
    She looks so stunning and gorgeous! Love her, wish her all the happiness
  • @meganann3876
    I’m very happy for her! ❤ She’s incredibly smart, humble, quick witted as ever. Congratulations!
  • @Jumbaride
    I don't think the audience quite understood her reference to "growing up from the bush". 😂🤦🏻‍♂️
  • @mikechoe97
    Wow, crazy to think she was a virgin throughout the success of Pitch Perfect, Bridesmaids, Pain and Gain, and all her other big hits.
  • sex is definitely not the be all and end all of life. Love Rebel!!
