Rebel Wilson isn't shy about how she was a late bloomer — in fact, she's embracing it.
In her new book, Rebel Rising, out April 2, the actress, 44, revealed she lost her virginity when she was 35 years old.
Rebel Wilson revealed she lost her virginity at 35 years old.
"People can wait till they're ready or wait till they're a bit more mature," said Wilson. "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."
Growing up, the Pitch Perfect star didn't want to discuss her sexual escapades since she was "embarrassed."
"There was one vague time, I think I told my best friend, 'Oh, yeah, I just did it to just get it over with when I was like 23,'" Wilson recalled. "Just to really avoid the questions."
The star's new memoir releases on April 2.
"Normally I would just leave the room when the conversation was happening," she continued. "And then the people that said, 'Oh, at 24, it's so late.' And then I'm sitting here thinking, 'Oh my God, my number's 35. What the h---? I'm going to look like the biggest loser.'"
The blonde beauty said since she didn't do the deed until later on in life, it likely hindered her from finding out more about herself.
"It's absolutely incredible, if I had been born 20 years later, I probably would've explored my sexuality more. I just knew I was attracted to men, and that was the normal thing," she shared.
"And so when I started opening myself up probably more after my father's death and realizing, oh, even though I'd seen marriage as a terrible thing and waste of time, I started opening myself up to that," she added. "And then only years later, meeting women and having feelings for a woman, and that, I just think it's a sign of where society kind of was."
