The Daily Telegraph reports
It’s official: the world is in love with Rebel Wilson.
Having stolen
the spotlight at the VMAs at the weekend thanks to that bikini dress, the
Sydney law student has gone from little-known TV star to Australia's most
in-demand international actress in the space of just 12 months.
And it's all
thanks to a tiny part as Kristen Wiig's creepy roommate in 2011 comedy,
Bridesmaids.
"Basically,
the week Bridesmaids came out, I booked up for the rest of the year," the
28-year-old said.
Among her gigs
was joining an A-list ensemble in What To Expect When You're Expecting, voicing
a hostile kangaroo in the animated Ice Age: Continental Drift, working with
Mark Wahlberg in Michael Bay's crime dramedy Pain And Gain and playing a
silky-voiced (if aerobically challenged) competitive singer in next month's
musical comedy Pitch Perfect.
She's also
about to start taping Super Fun Night, a TV pilot with Conan O'Brien that she
is starring in and producing. Yesterday she took over from Chelsea Handler as
host of Chelsea Lately. Wilson's latest on-screen work is in Bachelorette, the
female answer to The Hangover, which will be released locally on November 29.
"I think I
came to America at the right time," she said.
"To have
Bridesmaids be the first thing I was cast in and to have that be just such a
huge hit, even though I was just part of the ensemble in that. I have just been
working non-stop. I'm a writer as well, so I've got lots of things in
development and it's crazy.
"It's just
been a non-stop whirlwind, and I can't wait for people to see all these
movies."
A funny outcome
considering the Bogan Pride star only decided she wanted to be an actress and
not a lawyer after having a malaria-induced dream about accepting an Academy
Award.
