Rebel Wilson has spoken up about gay actors playing gay roles in a new interview on the BBC.
said the idea that only straight actors can play straight roles and gay actors can play gay roles is “total nonsense.” Inon BBC Radio 4’s “Desert Island Discs,” the Australian actor responded to host Lauren Laverne when she asked if Wilson felt there was a different standard with the types of jokes female comedians can make compared to male comedians.
“I’ve definitely said a lot of edgy jokes, and said them sometimes in very public places like the BAFTAs,” Wilson said. “Yeah, I don’t think there’s a different standard; it’s more this thing about – if you are something, then now you’re allowed to joke about it. So say, if you are overweight, you can say jokes. But if you’re not , that’s kind of what’s currently happening. So it’s not really gendered.
Wilson, who came out as gay in June 2022 when she revealed her relationship with now fiancée Ramona Agruma, continued, “It’s going into this territory of like saying, ‘Well, only straight actors can play straight roles and gay actors can play gay roles,’ which I think is total nonsense. I think you should be able to play any role that you want. But I always think, in comedy, your job is to always flirt with that line of what’s acceptable.
During the interview, Wilson spoke about her relationship with Agruma and how they came out to their respective families. “I’m lucky in my case, even though I come from a very conservative background, it went very, very well,” Wilson said. “My grandparents, who are in their 90s, just so chilled and cool with it. Ramona’s family, not as much. Her mum has luckily come around now, her father still doesn’t talk to her, but we’re hoping that will change.”.
“It turned out to be the worst professional experience of my career,” she said. She told the outlet that she believed the film’s costumes were picked to “see all the cellulite on my thighs and a top to show the fattest part of my arm… like I was something to be laughed at and degraded because of my size.
