Aussie star unrecognisable in throwback photo
While the world is on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, many people have been sharing throwback snaps to Instagram – and Rebel Wilson is no different.
Taking to social media on Wednesday, the star shared two snaps from her childhood in Sydney.
In one photo, Rebel is wearing a red beanie and smiling sweetly at the camera as she poses with a group of school kids.
Rebel captioned the snap: "No hat, no play," and shared another photo, this time a recent one, of herself at Sydney harbour wearing a cap.
Fans commented on the snap, with one user writing: "You were the cutest kid OMG!"
"Only Australians know that saying,” another person added.
Others joked that she looked like Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin, while one mum wrote: "I bet you were the funny naughty kid at school. If I've had a bad day looking after my children I watch one of your movies with a glass or two and laugh until my tummy hurts."
The actress shared another photo to her Instagram story of herself as a young girl wearing a navy and red dance uniform. She captioned it: "Did anyone else do Physi as a kid?"
For those who don't know, Physi AKA Physical Culture is a combination of aerobics, yoga, pilates, ballet and contemporary dance.
The post was fitting given Rebel declared earlier this year that 2020 would be "The Year of Health".
"Okay so for me 2020 is going to be called “The Year of Health” - so I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food which is going to be hard after the holidays I’ve just had but I’m going to do it! Who’s with me in making some positive changes this year?,” she wrote on Instagram.
Last month she also shared a photo from a trip to Austria, saying she can't wait to return once borders open so she can continue her health journey.
"When the borders re-open and we can travel to our favourite places - I can’t wait to go back to @vivamayraltaussee in Austria and continue my health journey,” she wrote.
"I would walk around this lake every day there... it’s so beautiful and as we’re all realizing right now: health is so important."
In a December interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 39-year-old actress also attributed her weight loss to her recent role in Cats, which hit theatres in late 2019.
“I lost eight pounds, shooting my number, in four days," Wilson said. "One, because there's a lot of physicality... but also, they heated up the set very high, to almost 100 Fahrenheit, so that we could never cool down.
"These people are like, the best dancers in the whole world, so they can't cool their muscles down or they could get an injury and they'd be out of the film... So they'd heat up the set like a sauna so we would never cool down, but made it pretty uncomfortable."
