Rebel Wilson announces she is writing a memoir, Rebel Rising

Want to become mates with funnywoman Rebel Wilson? That’s what the Aussie-born A-lister is offering with the unveiling of her latest project.

Mum’s the word, but she’s not keeping quiet any longer … Rebel Wilson’s memoir is expected to cover in detail her fertility journey, which led to the birth last year of her first child, Royce Lillian.

Want to be mates with Rebel Wilson?

That’s what the Sydney-born Hollywood star is offering with Thursday’s announcement she is writing a memoir.

“This book is like me sitting down telling my deepest, darkest secrets to a friend, with some laughs along the way of course,” the 43-year-old funnywoman said, giving us an early peek at the eye-catching cover image of Rebel Rising.

“So when it’s released, ‘my friend’ will become YOU.”

We all have that one friend who is a Rebel … a first glimpse at the cover of Rebel Rising, which will be published in April 2024 by HarperCollins.

Publishers HarperCollins said the book, due out in April 2024, will cover the “messy reality” of the Pitch Perfect star’s journey from dog-show groomer to A-lister, “constantly questioning ‘Am I good enough?’, ‘Will I ever find love?’ and ‘Will I ever change and become healthy?’.

“Rebel writes for the first time about her most personal and important moments in her life – from fertility issues, weight gain and loss, sexuality, overcoming shyness, rejections and much more.”

HarperCollins Australia publisher Georgia Frances King, who helped negotiate the book deal after a nine-way auction, said, “Rebel lives life unapologetically and is an inspiration to all women who want to live bold, dynamic lives. She’s whip-smart, she’s confident, she’s hilarious – all qualities that best represent our countrywomen on the international stage. Beyond the laughs, I hope this book will motivate readers to take hold of their potential.”

Write time to tell her story … Rebel Wilson, pictured with fiancee Ramona Agruma at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, says her memoir will have plenty of laughs along the way.
