Do you turn to food for comfort? Actor Rebel Wilson spent a lifetime using food to numb herself from difficult emotions.
In this chat with Fearne, Rebel shares why she felt safe using her body as a barrier to true intimacy, not having sex until she was 35. Knowing that she was medically obese, Rebel made 2020 her ‘year of health’, but it was working through her trauma that made the most difference, not a specific diet or exercise plan.
Fearne also shares the realities of her bulimia, including the secrecy and isolation that can come with shame.
Rebel talks about feeling like a ‘loser’ at school and making a concerted effort to become popular through speaking to five new people each day, and being a part of theatre and sports teams for connection.
Plus, Rebel explains why it felt so important to speak her truth about what happened on certain sets in her memoir...
Rebel’s book, Rebel Rising, is out now.
