For the past few days, everyone has been very concerned with digging into the actual age of Rebel Wilson after news broke that she might not be the 29-year-old actor we thought and actually a 35-year-old illuminati lizard person destroying us all with her lies! We can only assume that upon hearing the confirmation that shes actually 35, thePitch Perfect 2 starcollapsed into a pile of dust due to her exceedingly advanced ageand thats not all! Some think shes even lying about her name! Shes been known to go by aliases like Fat Amy, Tilly, Rocky, and Beckyjust to name a few! Where will the lies end?
Facetiousness aside, who can blame Wilson for claiming to be younger than she is, when fellow actor Maggie Gyllenhaal, at 37, is apparently so old that Hollywood is about to Logans Run herwait, did I say facetiousness aside? Oops. They actually just think Gyllenhaal is too old to play the love interest of a 55-year-old man. Fun fact! Thats almost the exact same age difference as the one between Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo (17 years), but Ruffalo is only 47, so I guess whatever demon bestows the apparent agelessness on male actors requires them to be paired with younger and younger actresses as they age to feed its power.
Seriously, if the movie industry is going to continue judging womenincredibly unfairly on a generally meaningless number, lying about it is a completely understandable and easy solution. Wilson is still the exact same person she was before this information came to light, and she probably avoided a bit of ageism this way. Literally nothing has changed, and its sad that everyone seems to concerned about it.
For her part, Wilson responded by giving 0 f***s, as she should:
Whatever. Im like 95% sure thatInterview With the Vampire was actually a documentary, and Tom Cruise has been undead for hundreds of years while sustaining his youth with the blood of the livingand no one seems to mind. I think we can all acknowledge that Rebel Wilsons age doesnt change a thing and move on.
