Early life and education
Wilson was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, on March 2nd. Her parents are licensed dog handlers; her mother is a world dog show judge who trains and shows beagles; and her father is a professional dog handler who breeds and shows beagles. Wilson grew up in Kenthurst, Parramatta, and Castle Hill. She was a boarder at the Tara Anglican School for Girls. She completed her Higher School Certificate in 1997, resulting in a rank of 99.3, including second place in the state of Food Technology. Wilson joined the debating team and a teacher encouraged her to participate in Tournament of Minds, which she credited for assisting her in breaking out of her shell. Wilson spent time at a theater in Castle Hill, but she resigned after patrons recognized her after the performance of her first film, Fat Pizza.
Wilson has three siblings, Liberty and Annalee (who uses the word "Annarchi") and a brother who goes by "Ryot." Liberty and Ryot were the first team to be disqualified on the first season of The Amazing Race Australia in 2011. Wilson has claimed that her great-aunt, Lillian Bounds, was married to Walt Disney from 1966 until his death in 1966. Wilson backed this assertion in court, though there was no evidence to back it up the assertion; Dale Sheridan, a genealogist, challenged it in court.
Wilson's first job choice was mathematics. "I was very academic at high school and was always good with numbers," she told The Sydney Morning Herald. She studied at the University of New South Wales, graduating in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts (Theatre and Performance Studies) and a Bachelor of Laws degree. She aspired to be a prosecutor but decided against corporate life and went to the United States to act. She was based in South Africa for one year, where she contracted malaria. She was a former Rotary International youth ambassador for Australia. She has discussed malaria-induced hallucinations, where she saw herself as an actress who had won an Academy Award, urging her to pursue an acting career.
Personal life
Wilson unveiled a plus-size T-shirt line in 2013 based on her "Fat Mandi" character in The Wedge, which featured images of donuts and cupcakes. Wilson unveiled Rebel Wilson x Angels, Wilson's plus-size clothing collection, in 2017, following a Torrid collaboration.
Wilson and her Bridesmaids co-star Matt Lucas, a British actor, lived in West Hollywood from September 2012 to 2015.
Following the 2015 Lafayette massacre, Wilson expressed support for tighter American gun control, saying, "I don't like getting political, but America you really have to follow Australia's example in gun law." Since the gun laws were changed in Australia, I don't recall a school shooting. Every week in America, there seems to be a shooting. "I just want people to be healthy, especially those that are doing one of my favorite activities in the world—going out to the movies to have fun."
Wilson's Sydney harbourside home cost $3.75 million in 2014. The 1900s freestanding Victorian home underwent $900,000 of renovations. Wilson also agreed on a Balmain investment apartment, which was a complete restoration of a historic mansion. It took three years for the New York terrace home to be completed. Wilson canceled the two-bedroom apartment on 2015 because of the two-bedroom design.
Wilson is a fan of the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League.
Wilson made the decision to freeze her eggs ahead of her 40th birthday, which ignited her attempt to make healthier life changes. She has polycystic ovarian syndrome and suffers from starvation.
Wilson came out on Instagram in June 2022, announcing her relationship with Ramona Agruma on Instagram. "I thought I was looking for a Disney Prince, but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess." She decided to announce her relationship with Arguma in order to pre-empt an article by Andrew Hornery of The Sydney Morning Herald that would have disqualified her. Though Herald editor Bevan Shields initially defended Hornery in the face of widespread backlash, Hornery later admitted to having made mistakes and the original article was eventually deleted.
Wilson has been a role model for larger women as an advocate for body positivity. "There's a lot of pressure on women, especially younger women, to conform to the thin body shape," she told the Associated Press. "Not everyone can be that way," the queen said, and no one should be ashamed of how they look or suffer bullying, as well as other aspects of violence due to their height and height."
Wilson has been known for her plus-sized figure throughout her career, and she has often referred to it in her acting roles as "Fat Amy" and "British." Wilson said in a 2013 interview with Hunger Magazine, "I'm going to make fat jokes as long as I look like this." All comedians must use their physical appearance, so I use my size." Wilson said that her agency hired her almost on the spot because they had no one on their books like her.
Wilson was content to have her body shape, though she said that people in the industry would advise her not to lose weight. "I think it's about being comfortable in your own skin." I never want to be too sedent because doing so would be detrimental. "You should be able to be confident with who you are at whatever age," she said. Wilson said in 2016 that larger girls did better in comedy because they are more fun to laugh at and used that to her advantage.
Wilson became a spokesperson for weight loss and nutrition company Jenny Craig in Australia in July 2011. Wilson said in January 2012 that she had lost ten kilograms (22 lb) since signing up to the program. She revealed in February 2013 that she had broken her deal with Jenny Craig the previous year.
Wilson claimed that Pitch Perfect's designers had refused to allow her to gain any more weight while filming because she was bound to remain the same size. She said that after her film commitments were over, she would restart her diet to reach her target weight of 80 kilograms (180 lb).
Wilson made it her goal to shed 60 pounds (27 kg) by November 2020 in her "year of health" in 2020. Wilson said she has always been confident in how she looked, but now feels more "secure."
Wilson's story in May 2015 was published in Woman's Day, an Australian publication revealing that she had been lying about her birth name, age, and upbringing. Wilson had previously said in interviews that she was raised by dog-training "bogan" parents in Sydney's ghetto, spent a year in Zimbabwe, fell into a cage with a leopard and then crashed to death by a deadly strain of malaria from a mosquito, and then flopped in Mozambique, where she pictured herself winning an Oscar and rapping her acceptance address. Her age was also incorrectly reported as 29 (when it was actually 35), which she would later admit was something she didn't do to correct. Wilson, on the other hand, had a "very normal, upper-middle-class upbringing" and "adds a touch of 'fantasy' to her life before becoming a household name," according to Woman's Day. Several other publications, including The Sydney Morning Herald, People magazine, the Chicago Tribune, and The Huffington Post picked up the story. Wilson's true birth date was discovered through company documents filed with the Australian Securities & Investment Commission, which were obtained by The Sydney Morning Herald.
Wilson said in Woman's Day, the Australian Women's Weekly, NW, and OK, on May 16, 2016, Wilson published print and online articles. She was portrayed in magazines as a serial liar. Wilson argued that her name and reputation had been tarnished, and she had been mocked and ashamed, according to a defamation complaint lodged in the Supreme Court of Victoria. She also sued for special damages, claiming she was left out on positions and that other ones were terminated due to the journals. Wilson was represented by Matthew Collins QC. A six-person jury ruled in Wilson's favour on June 15, 2017 finding that publisher Bauer Media Group had inaccurately portrayed the actress as a serial liar and that publishing the papers could have caused injury to her career.
Wilson was awarded A$4,500,000 in damages on September 13, 2017. Wilson's counsel Richard Leder said, "Today's decision is a historic record—it's about four times the highest previous verdict in a defamation lawsuit in Australia." Wilson wrote in June 2017, "Any money I receive will go to charity, scholarships, or invested into Australia's film industry to provide jobs."
The amount of the harm was appealed by Bauer Media. Bauer Media won its appeal on June 14, 2018, but the fees were reduced to $600,000, meaning she had to pay back A$4.1 million and A$60,000 in interest. In addition, she was also required to pay 80% of what Bauer owes on its appeal. Wilson declared her intention to appeal the decision and appealed to the High Court on July 11, 2018. On November 16, 2018, the High Court refused the petition.
