For decades, Rebel Wilson singlemindedly focused on her career, forgoing relationships in favour of making a name for herself. Rebel Rising chronicles the emotional and physical lessons she has learned, as well as her most embarrassing experiences. A malaria-induced Oscars hallucination? An all-style martial-arts fighting tournament? Junior handling at dog shows? And this was all before she moved to Hollywood!
This book follows Rebel from her proud bogan upbringing in Sydney to then making millions in the US as the ‘fat funny Aussie girl.’ Despite her stratospheric success, she constantly questioned “Am I good enough?” “Will I ever find love?” and “Will I ever change and become healthy?” Rebel writes for the first time about the most personal and important moments in her life - from fertility issues, weight gain and loss to sexuality, overcoming shyness and dealing with rejection (and there’s at least one story thrown in about Brad Pitt). This memoir shows us how to love ourselves, while making us laugh uncontrollably.
