Now that she's had a chance to stretch her vocal chords in the acapella college comedy Pitch Perfect, Rebel Wilson can reveal that she missed out on a role in Glee.
''That was one of my first auditions in the US,'' said the Bridesmaids star in Sydney today.
''But they didn't choose me.''
Success, of course, is the best form of revenge.
Eighteen months down the track, the roles have reversed dramatically.
Wilson's career has had such a meteoric rise, she had to decline an invitation to appear in the current season of the popular TV show.
''They offered me a guest spot but I was just too busy,'' says Wilson, who learnt her musical theatre craft at the Australian Theatre For Young People in Walsh Bay.
She did, however, get the chance to appear opposite Glee's Chris Colfer in the upcoming feature Struck By Lightning.
Wilson recently finished shooting Michael Bay's Pain & Gain, with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, a black comedy based on the true story of two body builders who are currently on death row.
The multi-talented peformer, who also writes and produces, is currently in pre-production for the pilot of a US sitcom - Super Fun Night.
And Universal, for whom the $17 million Pitch Perfect has grossed $62 million in the US alone, has now green-lit her feature film project, which she will write, produce and star in.
Pitch Perfect opens in Australia on December 6.
