Rebel Wilson has recently disclosed that her former co-star Sacha Baron Cohen is the Hollywood personality she referred to as an 'asshole' in her upcoming memoir, Rebel Rising. Wilson had initially hinted at dedicating a chapter in her book to an unnamed individual she had negative experiences with in the industry. However, in a recent Instagram post, she confirmed that the person in question is Sacha Baron Cohen, who she worked with on the 2016 film Grimsby.
Wilson's book, set to be released on April 2, will delve into her journey from Australia to Hollywood and her encounters with various personalities along the way. The actress expressed her determination to share her truth despite alleged attempts by Baron Cohen to prevent her from doing so. Wilson claimed that the actor had hired crisis PR managers and lawyers to intimidate her into silence.
Wilson's past comments about her time working with Baron Cohen on Grimsby have resurfaced, with reports of disagreements over certain scenes in the film. Wilson recounted instances where Baron Cohen had made inappropriate requests during filming, including asking her to perform nude scenes and engage in actions not in the script.
Despite reported tensions during the production of Grimsby, Wilson and Baron Cohen ultimately reached compromises on certain scenes. Wilson's decision to openly address her experiences with Baron Cohen in her memoir has sparked conversations about professionalism and boundaries in the entertainment industry.
