Rebel Wilson opened up about having sex for the first time aged 35, telling fans to not feel 'pressured' to lose your virginity at a younger age.
Wilson spoke openly about losing her virginity in her 30s.
Speaking in an interview with People and in her book Rebel Rising, Wilson opened up about her experience of having sex for the first time with an actor and comedian.
The 44-year-old told the publication that you shouldn't 'feel pressure' to lose your virginity.

"Not everybody has to lose their virginity as a teenager. People can wait till they're ready or wait till they're a bit more mature," she said.
"And I think that could be a positive message. You obviously don't have to wait until you're in your thirties like me, but you shouldn't feel pressure as a young person."
Wilson admitted to spending a large chuck of time avoiding conversations about sex as she didn't feel comfortable saying she was a virgin.

She recalled: "There was one vague time, I think I told my best friend, 'Oh, yeah, I just did it to just get it over with when I was like 23', just to really avoid the questions.
"Normally I would just leave the room when the conversation was happening.
"And then the people that said 'oh, at 24, it's so late', and then I'm sitting here thinking, 'Oh my God, my number's 35. What the hell? I'm going to look like the biggest loser.'"
Speaking in her memoir Rebel Rising, Wilson said it was actor and comedian Mickey Gooch Jr. who was her first sexual partner.

The actor penned in the book that she was 'almost at my highest weight' when she lost her virginity, and that Gooch did not know it was her first time.
"And, Micks, I know this might be news to you if you are reading this, but yes I lost my virginity to you," Wilson penned.
She went on to say after a month of dating her fellow film star, she was ready to lose her virginity.

"Life IS short. I didn't want to live my life without experiencing sex. Experiencing love. I put it out into the universe that I was finally ready. I was going to feel the fear and just do it," Wilson revealed.
She 'high-fived' herself after doing the deed, with Wilson admitting she watched adult movies the night before 'in preparation'.
