People have joked that an old snap ‘aged perfectly’ after Rebel Wilson opened up about losing her virginity at the age of 35.
The Australian actor, 44, recalled the intimate moment in her memoir, Rebel Rising, which was released on 2 April, with the Pitch Perfect star admitting that she didn’t lose her virginity until she was 35 years old.
In a chapter titled ‘Late Bloomer’, Rebel revealed that Mickey Gooch Jr. 38, was the man she first had sex with nearly 10 years ago.
“And, Micks, I know this might be news to you if you are reading this, but yes I lost my virginity to you,” she wrote.
Rebel also discussed waiting to lose her virginity in an interview with People, where she insisted she wants to send a ‘positive message’ of reassurance to young people who want to ‘wait untill they’re ready’.
“People can wait ’till they’re ready or wait ’till they’re a bit more mature. 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.”

Rebel continued: “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’.”
A old photo of Rebel and Mickey has since resurfaced with many people finding the post – which has originally shared in October 2021 – on Instagram.
The snap shows the two stars enjoying a New York Rangers game in Manhattan together.
“Throwback Thursday… cheers to the most beautiful girl I know.!… Inside and out. ‘The Full Package’ @rebelwilson,” Mickey captioned the post with a red heart emoji.
