The Daily Telegraph reports

Fearless comedienne Rebel Wilson recently made W magazine's list of best performances thanks to her turn as Fat Amy in Pitch Perfect.

However, the Sydney gal has said that while her career may be flourishing, her family life is not.

"I grew up in Australia with two sisters, Liberty and Anarchy, and a brother named Riot," Wilson said.

"All of my family thinks they are funnier than I am. I say to them, 'When have you done professional comedy? What movies have you been in?' Um, never and none.

"In Australia, I've been in 13 TV shows, and I also did stand-up. I would tell family secrets onstage. And sometimes I would lie: I said that my father was in prison. That didn't go down too well with my actual father."

Aah, understandably.
