Rebel Wilson is ‘sad’ she waited until she was 40 to lose weight

She achieved impressive weight loss during her recent ‘year of health’.

But Rebel Wilson has admitted she’s ‘sad’ she waited until she was 40-years-old to take the big step towards a healthier version of herself. 

‘Now that I know I can do it, sometimes I feel sad that I didn’t do it earlier,’ the 41-year-old told InStyle last week. 

Admitting she’s always been ‘a bit of a late developer,’ Rebel said she wished she ‘tried when I was 30, not 40.’ 

‘But everybody’s journey is different, and it’s not a race or competition.’

‘I have a natural empathy for anyone who struggles with weight issues because that’s something I’ve always struggled with.’

Rebel said that ‘anyone can go on walks and drink more water and do little, consistent things that’ll improve their lives,’ – and it’s never too late to start. 

The comments come after the Sydney-born actress shed more than 30kg in 2020.

And Wilson appears to have lost even more weight this year, if recent Instagram posts are anything to go by.

The Bridesmaid star, 41, showed off her tiny waist and slender legs in a pair of tight bike shorts and an off-the shoulder top as she posed on a private jet during a getaway to Miami over the weekend. 

She also donned high-waisted yoga shorts that emphasized her fit figure with a black and gold belt that cinched her taut midriff 

Rebel sported strappy black sandals with silver studs as she stood in the aisle of the sleek private jet. She accessorised with a pair of oversized tan cat-eye sunglasses.

The blonde beauty’s hair was swept into a high ponytail as she lounged back in her seat and stared out of the window of the plane ahead of her flight. 

She showed off a moss-green Yves Saint Laurent crossbody purse, a braided gold chain and gold hardware.

Rebel recently cited Mark Wahlberg’s revelation that he gets up at 4am to get his daily workout in as inspiration.

‘Although I don’t want to get up at 4am like Mark. [laughs] Quite a lot, I do have to get up at 6am.’
