What the hell is this thing with malaria? Is it that famous people get malaria? Have a vision and then become successful. Do I have to go and get malaria to figure out what I need to do in life? How weird.
Positive, negative space..artists!
The more subscribers the bigger the guests get??? Rebel is your guest?? Hmmm
I'm deliberately not subscribing due to the annoying push to make listeners subscribe at the start of each episode.
Personally, I don't think you need to mention SBC's name in the thumbnail. Rebel has a story of her own and doesn't need to be covered by someone else. Loved this interview!
So true
Agree, he's really not the main topic here.
For those looking 1:20:28 Sacha Baron Cohen controversy.
Thank you.
thank you, rest is boring honestly
Thank you. Who has time to care about her career? Sasha on the other hand is a legendary comedic genius and star worthy of knowing about alleged allegations.
You saved me lots of skipping
Thanks. This dude is just looking for more 💰💵💰 in his bank account. Can’t stand the asking of - subscribe! I unsubscribed a minute ago because of this. It’s called - GREED. 🤮
I was taught by Rebel’s mum in kindergarten ‘94. She really was the most kind, empathetic and joyful person. You would have never known she was going through so much. 🥺 I am a teacher myself now and can safely say it is incredibly hard to come to work with baggage and put on a happy face for the kids every day.
Read up more on her. Rebel's story keeps changing every time she tells it - little details like where she had her malarial epiphany, her age (even on here where she mentions the age she lost her virginity doesnt match the math on her birth date), her name and her background. I'd grain of salt a lot of what she says. It's a shame because she seems like she's actually quite a cool person and shouldn't pretend to be someone else.
I agree, and though I am not a teacher, I can relate. It's damn near impossible. You must be an empath, too. Welcome.
You are a good human from Queensland
I loved this interview. They said she would destroy her career if she lost weight and now she has been in 2 films and directed one. Rebel will always succeed because of her goal driven mind set. She will pivot. If one door closes, she'll find a window. An amazing asset to have.
And it's not the end of the world when you do lose your career. I'm currently doing it and trying to just heal myself
@@skyejacquesthinking of you and hoping things get better.
@@skyejacques thank you for saying that. You helped with making me feel less lonely and insulated. I hope you have a brilliant life ahead.
Totally agree, This is one of my all favourites episodes. She's feckin Fantastic, What a Beautiful Person ☮️❤️
It's even in her name! Rebel!
Being fat in younger life is demoralising. Having a parent(s) who can't process emotions adds to the misery.
Your confidence is destroyed.
You pay a price.
Hearing Rebel speak is refreshing. Her authenticity & openness are so easy to identify with. She's humble & that's beautiful ⭐️
Real
she should have been upfront to her fans about ozempic
Maybe, but I just find it hard to be critical of her because of all she candidly opened up about. As a late bloomer, when I see attractive smug types who've never known any different ~ the types who are vanity-obsessed & look down their noses at others ~ rarely do they value much outside of image ~ it's almost all they've ever known ~ when those types moan about life it is nauseating 🤮
There was a spoilt rich brat on diary of a CEO a while back ~ the tinder chief ~ Rebel is the opposite of that 🙏🏼
@@Martin-rh7mf there’s a lot of assumptions and judgement in your comment about attractive people being smug. You buy into Rebels story because you are deeming her not attractive. Insecurity has nothing to do with looks or assumptions that your life has been easy because you are attractive. You should perhaps treat people as you find them. Being attractive isn’t a win win as people like you have just proven.
@kr8882 Thank you for your time. Attractive smug types are attractive smug types ~ that doesn't refer to all ~ just those who are smug with it.
I haven't bought into anything ~ not paid a penny ~ simply, when a person opens up about something that's socially excruciating for them, this is something I value ~ I struggle to empathise with those who've been accustomed to privileges ~ spoilt brats perhaps ~ am sorry if that triggers you ~ Rebel's attractiveness is something you've decided to hone in on, which is insightful ~ Funnily enough, I had described her as beautiful ~ an adjective I could never bring myself to describe many celebs who are vanity-obsessed with no real depth whatsoever ~ apologies for the controversy I seem to have caused you 🙏🏼
As an Aussie I loved her character on Fat Pizza and I have seen her in a couple of movies. But I never knew she was such a great chick. This interview shows her to be a very intelligent and deeply thoughtful person who has played her cards well despite a few challenges. Proud that she is Australian and wish her continued success.
Toula was the funniest on the whole show. I still say "I love my Habibi " all of the time. Rebel is hilarious, this was such a good interview
What a complex and interesting person Rebel Wilson is. I've never been interested in 'Celebrities', but this was such an honest interview. I'm glad Rebel is happy now and settled.
Honest? Don’t mistake honesty from an actor for genuine and integrity.
Well said, anything to sell themselves
@leroybrown8926 & Lori
You are both jaded beyond.
I’m so impressed with how intelligent Rebel is. People don’t realize how intelligent comedic actors really are. I can totally see her receiving an Oscar.
Exactly. Some of the really smart people are comedians. They see beyond what the average person sees, and they cleverly use that material in their work. I find they often have quite deep reflections on life too.
She has a law degree
It takes a lot of effort to be funny. Julia Louise Dreyfus is extremely good at it.
Are you being sarcastic? I hope so!
People? Or just you?
'The tree that denies itself light and water can bear no fruit'. Understanding the principle of this quote was a game changer for me; doing what's best for ourselves to make us a better, healthier and happier human being is precisely how we do what's best for everyone else around us. Inspirational interview! 😊
Yes true 😂
Probably we know what we need 😌
Ignore our desires to create knowing that we need this special place.
I loved your analogy to the fruit tree!
That works!
Wow, our realities are Soo different.
Life experience whys
I have to remember this , love this thank you for writing it
She is clearly a highly gifted person - first play gets snapped up, snapped up by law school, decides to become an actress against the odds and becomes one of the biggest stars out there. Yet with all that has lacked confidence.
She is very human, very astute, very thoughtful. I have always love Rebel Wilson.
And I am proud of her for speaking out about her experience and for naming him too.
And, for children who haven't had the perfect childhood but in fact experience a challenging childhood, she is a great inspiration. But her parents did a great deal for her in getting her through private school in difficult circumstances. You can detect that she loves them.
Certainly was one of the biggest stars
I love how practical and smart she is like she’s not shallow at all and her intelligence and emotional maturity combined with her understanding of her upbringing has really allowed her to see past so many superficial aspects of life (the life of a successful actress especially) that so many people can and have gotten caught up on. I just love her practical thinking
Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!! The daily Jesus devotion has been a huge part of my transformation. God is Good 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌was owing a loan of £47k to the bank for my son's brain surgery(Samuel). Now I am no longer owning after I invested £6500 and got my payout of £290k every month, God bless Sandynadia 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hello how do you make such monthly, I am a born again Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🙁of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.
She's a licensed broker here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸
She is also, an Attorney Licensed to practice law. In Australia 🇦🇺 I think.
The thing I loved about this interview is how she is very careful with the words she uses.
There are possibly harsher, more common words, phrases that she could use at times, but she pauses and chooses differently, or she qualifies her experience by saying others may see it in another way.
That level of other awareness and empathy makes her a warm, kind (albeit incredibly driven!) person in my eyes
I noticed that too… what a good example!
She went to law school and is a lawyer. Of course she's analytical with what she says.
She didn`t do this to make people feel comfortable, but to not get into lawsuits. If something horrible happens people should be able to talk about it in harsh words. I don`t think it`s something to be lauded that she was so careful and played it down. She had to, because she cannot make any accusation that she cannot definitely proof.
She talks like an Australian, which lends to your observation. Observe other Aussies (generally), there are those contemplative pauses in conversation. It’s a cultural thing.
Rebel is very genuine & likeable.
She doesn't want to be canceled, that's the only reason why
Rebel by name but not by nature. What young troubled teen takes up debating and public speaking to boost their own confidence? They usually start partying. She's amazing and inspirational. And her baby is soooo cute.
What do you mean? She went against the grain and lived up to the name. She is a meta Rebel
I did the same thing to conquer shyness. I got into speech and drama classes.
@yorgivon-schmourgeussborgi
I meant that the way she conducted herself as a teen is not what would be described as a typical teenage rebel without a cause. She applied herself in practical helpful ways and enabled herself to heal. I think she's remarkable.
Her mum made her initially and I did exactly that, I was cripplingly shy at 15 after experiencing a decade of abuse, I peformed in every school play, school musical, school concert, joined the debating team deliberately because I wanted to put myself out of my comfort zone and become more confident and it DID work slowly over time, but no one encouraged me to do those things. I was DEFINITELY a troubled teen, attempted suicide aged 10 and was on anti-depressants by 14 and was in foster care at the time. I don't like make broad sweeping generalisations and using stereotypes about young people or any one for that matter. Not all teenagers that party are troubled. The people that partied at my school were popular and academic and middle class/privileged, the wealthiest kids at school and all went to uni. Having a good time isn't as symptom of distress
@@shekina2794Which is what "rebel" means...going against the grain. I agree with your point but I'm thinking you've always heard "rebel" used in a demeaning way..its like people are programmed to take it in a bad way, rebel against that!😉
Wow she did everything I couldn't. She managed to spin things into a positive. She's such a positive example. I feel so inspired.
Sometimes some of us have severe trauma and need the right therapies to heal first. Don't compare yourself to her. I have had to do shamanic healing plant medicine and EMDR therapy and currently can't work but I'm healing. Do what you need xxxx she's different and handled things differently.
It’s a mindset coupled with determination and being motivated to make your goals and dreams happen.
Lie to yourself. It sounds counter productive, but the brain (your brain) wants to believe you, whatever it is, whatever self talk you give yourself, make it good self talk. Spin it, achieve it, believe you can, and maybe it won't be a lie in the end after all 💛
Your turn!
It's your time to shine, lovely!!! I'm 40 now, and have been through lots of therapy, but the first 30 years of my life were insanely difficult. Every kind of abuse and neglect you can think of (think: true crime shows), mom died from su*cide, I got guardianship of my little brothers and had to drop out of college... THEN, I became a raging alcoholic for 3 years. I am now 16 years sober, happily partnered, have a great career, and friends that I cherish. It's not perfect, but it's peaceful and fun.
Sending you so much love,

REBEL FOR THE WIN BIATCH.
This girl is such an inspiration, Steven. Good for you to have her as a guest on the pod. Thank you. And, thank you, Rebel, for having the balls to be who you are.
SECONDED! She's a BAMF
She went to Tara Girls school i.e., one of the most expensive schools in Sydney. They're taught debating and public speaking. She's a liar who pretended to be poor when she never was. My cousin went to school with her.
Rebel Rebel Wilson is a beautiful, highly intelligent, articulate, amazing young woman. She is so talented as an actress, comedian and writer. Kudos and bravo Ms. Wilson! ❤❤❤❤❤
I have never clicked on an episode so fast. I love Rebel so much and could listen to her talk for hours. Thank you for having her on.
I wasn't so aware of her. The interview zoomed by, as she was easy to listen to. How can anyone be critical of a person who was so self-conscious yet comes across so candidly.. When a person feels so intensely marginalised & achieves so much, this should make everyone smile. I agree with all you say 💯
I didn’t know HOW MUCH I liked her! ❤
This interview took me from fan to SUPER admirer. I want to be more like her in every way.
She’s amazing.
Been watching her for well over a decade and love how sharp she is, how honest she is, how strong and sincere she is. She’s impressive af. Respect to her
I really love this back and forth style of conversation between you and Rebel. It felt like a heart to heart conversation rather than an interview like your previous episodes. Was more engaged here.
I agree 100%. They were so engaging... I think she helped him open up, too. This has been my favorite interview EVER, and I'm only halfway through!
She is so down to earth and relatable. She is also incredibly smart.
I love how Rebel turns the interview on Stephen throughout the conversation- I have always adored this remarkable woman, now I have the utmost respect and compassion for her - her childhood was certainly very similar to mine
As an Australian male of the same age and with a line of fathers coming from a convict, I've never once before heard anyone acknowledge this and can relate. Rebel is welcome over for a barbie any time shes in town.
Haha that’s ambitious of you
Which personality would you be looking forward to? One of her movies? Or perhaps the person who is talking on this interview?
I read that 20% of white Australians come from convicts, why is it such a taboo to acknowledge if such a big chunk of population are, shouldn’t it be normalised?
@@nh7568 It's generations of broken fathers as Rebel described.
@@nh7568 That's because Australia was a penal colony in the 1700's. The majority of the population were convicts. I believe Rebel is referring to someone that lived during her fathers life that had an impact on her upbringing.
Never realized how much of a beautiful person she is inside and out. Thank you for interviewing her I haven’t seen her in a serious interview like this and with somebody who listens as well as you when somebody’s talking and answering your questions.
Bravo on the interview/interviews lately. God Bless.
She’s so good when she’s not trying to be funny. She got so much more to offer than just comedy.
Thank you Rebel, my dad was like that. Hid dad died suddenly and my dad couldnt cope and it made him angry and unpredictable, hed drink because of it. Thank you for sharing your story
As an Australian, I can relate to the family dynamics Rebel describes and how it shaped her view of the world. He ambition and dedication to her craft is admirable, as is her remarkable ability to be down to earth, funny and raw, while discussing serious topics many of us can relate to. I wish Rebel future success and happiness with her gorgeous family!
My doctor referred me to a weight loss program. I just went up and down and the counselor and shared with them my background. They advised me to seek psychotherapy and deal with those issues first. It was a breakthrough.
This was such a great conversation. I’m an Aussie, 5 years younger than Rebel, and I grew up watching her on tv. She has always been a comedic icon, but it’s nice to see her speak candidly and openly about her life.
Rebel is is so relatable. I applaud her for telling us about experiences that might be embarrassing for her, but so many of us have been through. Thank you!
I’ve always liked Rebel Wilson. When I saw her losing weight I was so proud of her, like wow! That is hard! Hearing her story, I like her even more. She’s really come out of her pain an amazing woman❤
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this interview. Don’t know too much about Rebel or Steven, so it was brilliant that Rebel drew host out in the interview. Felt like a couple of friends chatting. Rebel is an amazing person and it was an honour to get a sense of who she is.❤
She seems so sweet, I am happy she has the life she always wanted.
Its not just celebrities that get backlashed for losing weight. From my personal experinces of a lifetime if being the only overweight person in my family. My father got furious when he found out I joined a gym. A boyfriend i was going to marry statrted leaving deserts in my car and my fridge, realizung he was a control freak i left. Then when i experimented with being gluten free for my arthritis and weight, I made the mistake of telling my family. My sister did xmas that year, i brought a variety of appetizers and deserts, and for the dinner she breaded the 3 different vegetables and breaded pork chops, insted of mashed potatoes did mac-n-cheese with added bread crumbs. She never cooked like this before or since. Then theres the women at work who noticed. I weighted less.(hate the word "loss" you dont lose fat, thats too simple and easy.
truth is you work hard to get it off). The women bringing in baked goods or large boxes if candy and putting on a portion on my desk. You do not give an alcoholic a glass of booze, you dont put drugs in the face of a drug addict. U learned to keep my mouth shut and expect No assistance from anyone other than my Doctors and people in my weight loss groups.
I call it using weight instead of losing weight.
This is so sad.
You need new people in your life . When I decided to loose weight my family and co workers helped me achieve it quickly and they encouraged me all the way .. I hope you dumped your boyfriend and got a new job
Congratulations on the weight loss! But it’s tough. I come from the opposite end and I got relentlessly bullied at the job I was working by other women because I was lifting weights and eating to gain weight. They all couldn’t imagine that that’s tough as well. Glad I got fired from that place looking back. It can be very isolating. I’m used to working out by myself and not having any support from family. My best friend always rooted for me but lived far away from me when I was going through that. I do weigh more now and I’m really proud of myself! But losing or gaining, the work that goes into it is incredible and most people don’t even understand that.
I'm sorry that your environment on many levels is so toxic. You sound very observant and you probably know that their need to keep you exactly the way you are says a lot about their insecurities. Many people can't handle others 'improving' themselves. It destabilises their world and where you fit in it. Keep going. This life is yours, not theirs. Go well. :)
Loved this interview. Rebel Wilson is always honest and just her authentic self and I love that she doesn’t hide her struggles. In a fake world she is the real deal and I love her for that.
Yeah, fake lips. Such a bright light of reality in a fake world.
You really kept your word Steven! Your interviews are getting better and better if this is even possible. I am mesmerised by every single one that you recently had and this one is just so extremely relatable to me. Theat belief, that you can achieve anything you want yet this one thing called losing weight seems so impossible. It struck a chord in me. I love Rebel, and always have. Please don't stop being such an incredible and humanly interviewer you are right now. Thank you! You are changing people's lives!
My mom also put me out of my comfort zone when I was little to put me in acting.
I was extremely shy and more content to love in my head and imagination than to communicate with other people.
She wanted to help me connect with people so put me in acting. It was exactly what she said for me. I discovered confidence by stepping into the shoes of other people and characters.
It helped me discover more of who I was as well.

Chur
Thank you
Hmm..wonder why she wasnt asked about finger gr*ping Tom Hardy in the butt? She was so joyful and proud of herself when she was explaining it in interviews.. Im a woman, but what she did to other person, is completely discusting and atrocious.
What about her graping Tom Hardy butt with her finger? Really proud of herself and joyfully talkin about it in interviews.
Thank you!
Trauma breaks us in useful ways when we harness the energy of it. Don't let your family time pass you by, Rebel. Keep turning toward your baby. Best wishes from Aus.
That first sentence is real AF.
Not her baby. She paid a surrogate.
Could you please elaborate on how "trauma breaks us in useful ways when harnessing the energy of it." I am intrigued.
I really dislike this concept about trauma, particularly because there ARE sick people (and groups of people) who see things this way and therefore ritualistically traumatize people until their mind breaks. You can CHOOSE (with help) to break the cycle, but I look forward to a world with ZERO trauma. But to each its own !
@@butterflywind999 Trauma, especially childhood trauma within the home, creates adults who are hypervigilant (focused on situation and context and the world outside) and hyper-conscientious (workaholics). I have heard that the CIA particularly look for these sorts of people to work for them. Underdeveloped in some areas (just as Rebel describes her social skills), the brain has adapted to over develop vigilance and conscientiousness to move us towards a functioning (and then thriving) life. Childhood trauma is not a choice, but our adaption to it can make us remarkable. Rebel is remarkable. The biggest challenge is to spot when we can relax and smell the roses, and then do it.
Please change the thumbnail. It (SBC) is not the beef of this episode or her.
I loved this podcast. I grew up never feeling good enough, being poor & seeing people look down at my single mother. I had such a hunger to have a better life. I did that by going to a University & getting a BSN degree. I wanted to be able to support myself and have a better life. it’s good to know that you’re not the only one who grew up feeling not good enough!!
Just scroll down the comments .. almost everyone seems to be messed up by some kind of trauma
It’s so good to know that you are not alone in this world and others overcame the hardships, it’s just so inspiring and amazing ❤
Rebel you’re a deep and wonderful human, beautiful and funny with it. What a mature and talented lady you are. Glad you got the Cohen guy out of your system no doubts this side - trying to help others, well done you.
A tremendously gorgeous late bloomer, good health and continued success for the rest of your life , much happiness wished !! ❤❤❤
This interview is the first interview I have felt seen in any sort of capacity. As someone who has suffered from childhood abuse/neglect, I've learned that hard way that my weight gain was caused by not wanting to be harmed or touched by romantic partners but also losing the emotional weight is alot harder than the physical weight
The part about “making” new friends really hit. I am dutch🇳🇱 and live in Austria🇦🇹, where they speak german language.
In both countries we “have” friends. It’s all about the wording!
In The Netherlands and the german spoken countries we just don’t know how to “make” friends (active approach)! We count ourself lucky in case we “have” some friends, but there is no awareness about how to “get” them. Mind-blowing! Thank you sooo much for open up.
I travelled a lot for my job and moved to different places. And I always struggled to “have” friends at a new place, because I didn’t know, that I have to “make” them. From now on this will change. 🤗
🩷🩷🩷
In German we can also "find friends", which makes it sound as if you just stumble upon them while on an afternoon stroll; also very passive. The older you get you learn the hard way, that "finding/making friends" is actaully a very active and often difficult process.
.. duh? :D okay that explains the Germans to me a bit :D
Thank you so much for doing this episode! Glad you are willing to share this Rebel ❤
I find it weird the level of “accountability” people expect from celebrities that people feel they have the right to know what personal health choices/decisions celebrities make is crazy. The level of entitlement people have is wild. Believing you really need a full explanation! People need to understand, these celebrities really do not have to be transparent regarding their life choices with you. You’re a stranger.
Well said
It's the price they pay and now we find out more about her and pdiddy
Beatiful podcast again. I love how open she is about her struggles and how she overcomes them. I am looking forward to the day she wins an Oscar, I am sure she will.
I haven't ever cared much about the Oscars myself, but if she's ever nominated, I will watch. And I'll likely cry if she wins 🏆 🥹🩷
😊
An incredibly honest interview I feel that I know Rebel personally after hearing this. I had no idea that she had read Law before her acting career.
I prefer this style of lighting, it seems to help people open up more... but I prefer the previous style of framing the person angle/distance where we could see the full body. Another great conversation!
Yes, I liked the full body view too. I think because we see all of the arm movements etc.
Thanks!
I’ve just chatted about this with Jack! I agree, let’s see if we can pull the framing out a bit so that you can see the body language too 👊🏾
- Steven
@@DOACBehindTheDiary That's right, it's about the body language. Thank you! 🫶
I’ve never in my life related to someone so much. I’ve heard about people doing that, but I’ve never actually experienced it. Pretty amazing feeling. Thank you for bringing Rebel Wilson on, she was the unexpected guest I didn’t know I needed.
Me too! 🩷
Lovely video of Rebel and hearing her backstory. Thanks to both for an incredible interview/conversation.
Dear Rebel, Please don't start having plastic surgery. You are so beautiful.
My perception of rebel has done a complete 180
Really enjoyed this conversation
Remarkable woman
Classy, truthful and a tour de force in the film world. Your story resonates with all us hidden kids who find a voice and can take control of their lives. You’re an inspiration and I wish there were more Rebels in the world ❤
Everything Rebel has described about her life, is adhd! Her father too, with addictions & low emotional intelligence within the household!
Wonderful interview! Amazing lady! 💞
I'm genuinely asking (since I relate to Rebel 10000%)... how do you know this? And is there a decent source you can refer me to so I can find more info? 🩷 Thanks!

I absolutely LOVE Rebel! I love her honesty, her vulnerability, and her amazing ability to breakthrough barriers and continue to move forward! She’s is someone I have always admired! Her story is relatable on so many levels! And my genuine wish for her is to get her academy award and do whatever it she feels pulled to do, even if it is retiring to be with her family. I’m so happy Rebel that you found love within yourself first and then found it with someone you can spend your life with. I will continue to root for you! From afar, I am genuinely filled with gratitude for your inspiring work, your platform for the LGBTQIA community and to women everywhere, no matter their demographics or physical appearance. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable but mostly, thank you for simply being you! 🙏🏾
Oh dear, her recounting her experience in South Africa. Such a pity, I am South African and from Cape Town. Would love Rebel to come back and experience South African from another angle.
Same
ditto
Totally agreed as said in my post above. In 50 years of being born and bred here, I cannot confirm ONE of her statements about SA. The same counts for many of the celebrities who make SA sound like the Skid Row in LA. It's very sad and I wish she would come back - and visit Cape Town. My international clients that come on holidays, safaris, etc here all the time absolutely love the country. They would all agree that they have never seen or experienced this ever.
Before the late daughter of South African poet Ingrid Jonker passed away we were friends. She told me a lot about South Africa. If I put on pink 🩷 glasses I would've gone to South Africa to keep her company and help her get her own flat.
SA has had a lot of struggles and my friend Simone Jonker told me the SA Rand is junk status so she felt like she was in the 3rd world.
Same. I'm south african and lived here all my life. Never had to carry a baton. I've never got malaria and it's sad this is what the world thinks.
Yes its dangerous but so is US schools being gunned down
You just got to know where and not to go etc etc.
What a wonderfully warm and brave woman Rebel is , thank you so much for this interview and your openness and honesty ❤
What a legend! What a great interview, thank you both for the candid share 🙏
It should be known for international audiences that the uni where Rebel did her law degree is widely considered Australia’s most prestigious university. She is one seriously intelligent and accomplished woman in so many ways.
I love how this interview humanizes her. Great job Steven. Great storytelling Rebel!
Great interview and love the new lighting! I remember you saying that Jack said, “I don’t know everything about lighting” which was super humble of him. The new lighting is great! Love this vulnerable interview :)
My (Australian) Dad took to drink to deal with his trauma. His Dad died young and tragically. We are also directly related to a few convicts, so this was really interesting to listen to as well. My Dad, unfortunately died tragically and young too. My Mum (American) had already found the strength to leave him and take two young kids back to America. The trauma still lives in me though. Trauma from watching him drink himself to death, trauma from having a Dad (who I worshiped) that wasnt emotionally available (which was the norm in Australia at least at that time), and honestly, the trauma from being taken from my birth place to be raised away from everything I knew. I feel like I was robbed of being raised as a true Aussie, which made me feel so bitter for a very long time. I had issues with food too, but the opposite of Rebel. This was an incredible interview! Thank you.
M😮ch care
You are still an Aussie, cobber. You can move back here anytime. ❤️🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺🦘🇦🇺
I really appreciated this episode. It's refreshing to see Rebel in an interview where they aren't making her perform, making jokes at her expense, or her making fun of herself. She's just honestly talking about her experiences as herself, not as the media's interpretation of Rebel Wilson. I wish her lots of luck in her future.
Yes
It’s quite interesting seeing this side of her
Hard to know what’s authentic but certainly clear the Previous Rebels are a front as pe say
I never thought I could relate to someone so much!
Amazing interview. ❤
Fat and full of trauma ?
I LOOOOVVEEE THIS WOMAN from day one! Thank you for bringing her
This a is a narrative that is soooooo common and not very often told or spoken about. Loved this conversation! Thank you so much 😊
Rebel is so gorgeous. Every time I see her I’m just more blown away. Incredible human. ❤
This beautiful smile and great talent. A bright light in a dark world.
Thank you Rebel for being honest about how your weight has affected your life. It was nice to hear you speak about the mental part of eating. Also, thank you for mentioning how you have had to adjust your habits because your life is different now.
Thank you for this Rebel ❤ As a 34 year young woman that has struggled with weight and emotional eating for 25 years, I can relate to many things you went through and shared with us.. I even took notes. I’ll get the book.
I can relate to Rebel's confliction with regards to leaving her role during the experience with Sacha. It's a sad state of affairs when we worry about our reputation of professionalism over our mental health and right to set boundaries.I hope this inspires others to make the right decisions for themselves ❤
THANK YOU FOR THIS!💖✨ I feel like this came at the right time for me!
Great interview! Just love Rebel, she's so real and authentic and you can see that she still keeps something for herself.
Rebel has an amazing on screen presence. It is more than her weight that makes her so adored. She would be great no matter what she weighed. Not many an actor or actress can probably pull that off as well. More power to you Rebel! Be healthy and happy. I have a feeling you will be around for a long while entertaining us all. All the best!! Great interview!
An outstanding , real, honest, articulate, composed, logical, interesting, intelligent, driven, hard working, sensible, funny, inspiring, beautiful person inside and out. Rebel lived and worked out in my local community of Balmain Sydney. What an inspiration. Loved this interview. Thank you rebel and Steven.
What an incredible, strong, humble and kind woman. Such a treat to listen to her story on this podcast. Absolutely loved her in all the movies.
I'm so glad of this interview. Thank you. It is helping me so much in my darkest moment trying to understand it all,, in my 60's. Wow. Best interview
Growing up in Australia the same time as Rebel, I completely relate to the upbringing and climate of those times. What a profound interview, loved every second of it
I love Rebel Wilson, she is an amazing woman, who has struggled like most of us and dared to write about it, talk about it, and overcome some of the same things as I have not.
Rebel Wilson is an articulate woman who is a great interview. I enjoyed this greatly! Thank you for sharing and helping all those out there that may be going through things.
Ooh WaaoO !!! What a touching and beautifully honest interview !!!
I was captivated from start to end !!!
What an amazingly Lovely and Sweet person you are Rebel !!!
This interview touched my heart from the first moment !!!
THANK YOU BOTH 🌺💗💗💗🌺
With Warmth and Appreciation

I adore this interview. Listened to the whole thing while I cleaned my house head to bottom, and I had to stop and rewind some bits to re-listen because I really wanted to process what she was saying, specially about emotional eating and wanting to be unavailable to men. Thanks so much Rebel for coming on the podcast, I needed this.
Wow that was very cinematic interviewing (flows well and respectfully conducted); a joy to watch, thanks to Rebel and Stephen for being two insightful and intelligent voices😌
I can totally relate to the feeling of shame when you see someone cross the line and for whatever reason you don't have the strength to push back and stand for yourself, so we just play along. She seems to be a genuinely good person.
I loved this interview. Stephen you are so good at getting people to reveal their true selves. It makes all of your interviews so engaging. I’m a new fan of Rebel after watching this and can’t wait to watch her films and read her book. I’ve seen little snippets over the years but never actually watched anything. It’ll be nice now following her through her career after this lovely interview.
You’re an incredible woman Rebel, thank you for taking the time to share your story. A Hollywood woman being so vulnerable is such a breath of fresh air. Truly appreciated. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you definitely helped more than 5-10 people. Thank you!
I didn't come here for SBC. Normally I get bored easily but time flew listening to Rebel. I loved her honesty,wit and humour.
Great interview. Was wonderful to see just how intelligent you are Rebel. I do believe the best comedy comes from those with a great mind.
Can't wait to see you win an Oscar or it's equivalent.
As a fellow Aussie woman. That family dynamic was all too common, great to see you healing that generational trauma for your little miracle girl. Congrats xx
Rebel! Gees I loved learning about you. I’ve always liked you and a few years ago a viewer from the US commented on my channel that her and her husband like to watch me because I remind them of Rebel Wilson and I felt like that was such a cool compliment. It kind of validated my personality a bit 🤍. And it made me think “ok, it’s ok to be myself”. Rather than be like others in my niche.
Your Dad listening to those tapes might not have helped him, but him doing that and having those tapes sounds like it changed you. It’s kind of cool if he couldn’t give you much else that was a nice gift.
In I’ll keep listening now …
I feel like I learned a lot about myself by listening to Rebel speak about her life experiences. She has such a grounded, healed, beautiful perspective on life and on difficult emotions. I feel myself really inspired to live a more full and goal-oriented life after spending just this short amount of time with her.
Rebel Wilson is an absolute goddess. I am so glad she embraced who she is and chose to share that beautiful human with the rest of the world!
Loving these intense intros! Keep drawing us in to these Amazing conversations! 💯❤️
Great interview Steven. Brilliant watch/listen. What a fantastic storyteller Rebel is. The space given to her to weave that is a testament to this podcasts standards.
What an inspiring & beautiful interview. I can relate to so much of Rebel's childhood challenges & it is heartwarming to know Im not alone with those experiences & feelings towards my parents (whom I know now just did the best that they could). 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Rebel is a great human being. So authentic, thank you for sharing and thank you Stephen for the platform.
Great interview love your points of connection, the understanding between interviewer and interviewee is great. ✨💖
Loving the new studio lighting! Great soft shadow and Rembrandt triangle
It’s spelled lighting, not lightning.
@@TechnoViking__Where are you seeing an "n"? He spelled it correctly.

So impressed with Rebel in so many different ways, what GEM of a woman, unique, self-aware, hard-working, talented, full of integrity, strong positive attitude, so much tenacity, self-driven & very brave. She's also really likeable very attractive human being. From the UK we applaud you, I hope you get the Oscar !🎉🎉
