Rebel Wilson names the actor and former addict who she lost her virginity to at the age of 35… and he had no clue that he was her first sexual partner

Rebel Wilson has named the actor she lost her virginity to at the age of 35.

The Australian actress, 44, writes about her exes in a chapter titled Late Bloomer in her recently released memoir Rebel Rising and reveals that actor and comedian Mickey Gooch Jr., 38, was her first sexual partner.

She revealed that she was “almost at my highest weight” at the time and explained that one of the reasons she waited so long to have sex was because she felt that “as a big girl, no one would ever really find me sexually attractive.” .’

Gushing over their intense chemistry, Rebel also confessed that Mickey – son of multi-millionaire banker Michael Gooch, founder of the $700 million GFI Group – didn’t know it was her first time.

“And Micks, I know this may be news to you if you’re reading this, but yes, I lost my virginity to you,” she writes in the memoir.

The Pitch Perfect actress said she gave myself a high-five after losing her virginity to Mickey in a room at New York’s Greenwich Hotel while filming the 2016 movie How To Be Single – a film in which aspiring actor Mickey also ended up. a small role.

Rebel explained how she was motivated to have sex after learning her mother had breast cancer, writing “life IS short.” I didn’t want to live my life without experiencing sex. Experiencing love. I put it out into the world that I was finally ready. I would feel the fear and just do it.”

“I wanted to hook up with the next man who came along – who also seemed like a suitable suitor.”

Returning to Los Angeles after spending time with mom back home in Australia, Rebel met Mickey after her Pitch Perfect co-star Hana Mae Lee set them up.

Rebel said she immediately fell in love with the “chiseled” and “sexy” actor, writing, “First and foremost, I love the name because of the love for Mickey Mouse and all things perfect.”

Other “signs” included that he owned a mansion with a pool overlooking the ocean and that he barbecued for her on their first date.

Rebel writes that Mickey “chased me” and had enough money to chase her around the world as her film career took off.

It wasn’t until she was living in New York after a month of dating that she felt ready to sleep with him and invite him to fly out and stay with her in her luxurious hotel room.

Rebel wrote candidly about their first night together, saying she watched porn movies the night before and used a vibrator ‘in preparation’.

She later added that once they had sex, she wanted to be with Mickey “all the time,” joking, “I’m a late starter and now I want to be an MVP.”

‘I would imagine having sex and being intimate and everything would always be in my head. Now I am someone who lives much more in my body. And I love it. Now I really have a boyfriend and he’s handsome and rich too.’

Rebel and Mickey dated for six months, but the relationship ended during a vacation with Rebel’s family.

She writes that she had innocently offered Mickey, who had told her that he had previously been in rehab, a sleeping tablet before the flight to Dubai.

Mickey’s behavior began to change when the couple traveled to Ibiza with Rebel writing, “If I were more adept at dealing with addicts, I would notice that he relapsed at some point during that trip.”

Mickey later confessed to Rebel that he had been to rehab seventeen times, with the actress promising to support him in his latest attempt at sobriety.

The actress revealed that she waited a year to see if he could get clean and they could rekindle their relationship, and in her capacity as a role model for young people, admitted that she knew she couldn’t date someone with an addiction used to be.

The couple has remained friends with Mickey, sharing a throwback photo of the couple in 2021, calling her “the most beautiful girl I know.!… Inside and out.”

The actress has revealed in her new book that she has been open about her sexual history, hoping it will help young people because “not everyone has to lose their virginity as a teenager.”

She revealed that detail in hopes it will help young people, because “not everyone has to lose their virginity as a teenager.”

“People can wait until they’re ready, or they can wait until they’re a little more mature,” the Pitch Perfect star shared People.

“And I think that could be a positive message. Of course, you don’t have to wait until you’re in your thirties like I do, but as a young person you shouldn’t feel pressure,” Rebel adds.

In the past, she even lied about sex just so she wouldn’t have to talk about it.

“There was a vague time, I think I said to my best friend, ‘Oh yeah, I just did it to get it over with when I was 23,'” Wilson revealed.

“Just to really avoid the questions,” she explained. ‘Normally I would just leave the room when the conversation took place.

‘And then the people who said, “Oh, at 24 it’s so late.” And then I’m sitting here thinking, “Oh my God, my number is 35. Who cares? I’m going to look like the biggest loser,” she admitted.

Rebel thinks the time she was born in had a lot to do with the fact that she was, in her own words, “a late bloomer.”

She explained that she thinks if she had been born 20 years later, she would have felt more open to exploring her sexuality at a younger age.

‘It’s absolutely incredible: if I had been born 20 years later, I probably would have explored my sexuality more. I just knew I was attracted to men, and that was normal,” the Senior Year actress said.

“And so when I probably started opening myself up more after my father died and realized, oh, even though I had seen marriage as something terrible and a waste of time, I started opening myself up to that,” she said.

“And it wasn’t until years later, when I met women and started having feelings for a woman, that I think it’s a sign of where society was sort of.”

She recently revealed that a situationship with a female tennis player opened her up to love for the first time.

Rebel is engaged to designer Ramona Agruma and the couple welcomed their first child, Royce Lillian, via a surrogate in November 2022.
