Rebel Wilson says it's 'total nonsense' that only queer actors should portray male lover characters
Rebel Wilson is sounding off on the always hot-button topic in Hollywood of whether your gender or sexual inclusion should dictate the characters you play on screen.
In the latest episode of BBC's Desert Island Discs, she said it was "total nonsense" to consider that gay actors can only play gay characters.
The topic came up first in the episode when host Lauren Laverne asked the "Pitch Perfect" celebrity if she felt there was a different accepted for the kinds of jokes women comics produce versus men.
"I don't consider there's a different typical, it's more this thing that if you are something, you are now allowed to joke about it," Wilson said at the 3:30 mark. "If you are overweight, you can say [those] jokes."
Laverne then asked if that was a good thing.
"I think that's hard," said Wilson, who came out as gay in June 2022 and shares a child with fiancée Ramona Agruma. "It's going into this territory of enjoy saying, 'Well, only vertical actors can play unbent roles and gay actors can play gay roles,' which I think is total nonsense."
"I think you should be able to play
Rebel Wilson Says the Idea That Only Gay Actors Can Portray Gay Characters Is ‘Total Nonsense’: ‘You Should Be Able to Play Any Role You Want’
Rebel Wilson thinks the idea that only homosexual actors should play homosexual characters is “total nonsense.”
In a new interview on BBC Radio 4’s “Desert Island Discs” (via The Guardian), the “Pitch Perfect” star brought up the topic when host Lauren Laverne asked if she felt there was a different standard with the kinds of jokes women comedians can create compared to men.
“I don’t think there’s a different standard, it’s more this thing about, if you are something then now you’re allowed to joke about it,” she said. “So state, if you are overweight, you can say jokes. But if you’re not [you can’t]… that’s nice of what’s currently happening.”
But, is that a positive development for the state of comedy today? “I think that’s hard,” Wilson said. “It’s going into this land of like saying, ‘Well, only straight actors can play straight roles and gay acto
Rebel Wilson and Anna Camp Chat About Being Male lover and Happy
When Rebel Wilson’s character made the joke in Pitch Perfect about how, statistically, at least one of the Barden Bellas was gay, she thought she was the only one who was secretly queer. Now, all these years later, she has a wife, Anna Kendrick and Ester Dean have expressed queer leanings, and, most recently, Anna Camp has come out by showing off her super cute relationship with her girlfriend. Plus, some of the other women from that movie are undetermined; I found no proof of their sexuality online, but some of them have the vibe. (Also I know Hailee Steinfeld just married a whole man but she has played too many queer characters too adequately for me to not be waiting for her to come out as queer, too.)
In a recent interview with Pride, Rebel Wilson said that on the set of Pitch Perfect 2, she remembers having some really friendly, candid chats about sexuality behind the scenes, and that she has felt really supported during her coming out journey.
Rebel Wilson was technically strongarmed into coming out by an Australian tabloid back in 2022, and Anna Camp casually came out earlier this year with a hard launch duri
Well, Rebel Wilson’s queer journey is continuing right on pace! Nine months ago, she announced that she was dating Ramona Agruma, her very own Disney Princess. Five months ago, Rebel announced the birth of their daughter, Royce, via surrogate. This weekend, she got engaged to that princess at — wait for it! — Disneyland. The pair wore matching pink striped sweaters that said LOVE on them, and knelt in a pile of about ten thousand rose petals. Also, according to the photos Rebel posted on Instagram, it was literally raining rose petals? Maybe Disneyland really is the most magical place on earth! Rebel thanked Tiffany & Co. and also Mickey CEO Bob Iger for helping her yank off the surprise, which is how you understand this is a wealthy Disney Princess wedding. That and the fact that their child is named Royce.
ANYWAY, rumors have been swirling for months that Rebel and Ramona were engaged due to the fact that Rebel kept showing up places wearing a “massive diamond ring” — but this is the first official universal confirmation.
I’m so excited about this news, not just because I love like and all that, but also because no one will listen to me talk about the evidence
