Rebel Melanie Elizabeth Wilson[1][2] (born Melanie Elizabeth Bownds; 2 March 1980)[1][3] is an Australian stand-up comedian, actress and writer. After graduating from the Australian Theatre for Young People in 2003, she began appearing as Toula on the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) comedy series Pizza and the sketch comedy series The Wedge. In 2008, Wilson wrote, produced and starred in the musical comedy series Bogan Pride. The following year, she won the Tropfest best actress award for her role in Bargain and made a guest appearance in City Homicide. Shortly after moving to the United States, Wilson was cast as Brynn in the feature film Bridesmaids.

Wilson also appeared in A Few Best Men, What to Expect When You're Expecting and Struck by Lightning, leading Variety to name her one of their "Top Ten Comics to Watch for 2011". She also appeared as Becky in Bachelorette and starred in the musical films Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect 2 as Fat Amy, a role that earned her several award nominations and wins including the MTV Best Breakthrough Performance Award and a Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Actress. She then created and starred in Super Fun Night, a television comedy that aired for one season on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC).

Early life and education

Wilson was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.[4] Her mother is a professional dog handler.[5][6][7] Wilson grew up in the suburbs of Kenthurst, Parramatta and Castle Hill.[8] She attended Tara Anglican School for Girls.[2][9][10] She completed her Higher School Certificate in 1997, including second place in the state in food technology.[11]

Wilson has three siblings; sisters Liberty and Annachi and a brother, Ryot.[6][7][12] Liberty and Ryot appeared on the first season of The Amazing Race Australia in 2011, where they were the first team eliminated.[13] Wilson has claimed that her great-aunt was Lillian Bounds, who was married to Walt Disney until his death in 1966.[14] This claim was proven false in 2016 by genealogist Dale Sheldon.[15]

Wilson's first career choice was mathematics. She told The Sydney Morning Herald, "I was very academic at high school and was always good with numbers."[16] She attended the University of New South Wales, graduating in 2009 with Bachelor of Arts (Theatre and Performance Studies) and Bachelor of Laws degrees.[17] A former Rotary International Youth Ambassador for Australia, she was based in South Africa for one year, where she contracted malaria.[16][18] She claims the malaria caused hallucinations where she saw herself as an actress who had won an Oscar, convincing her to pursue an acting career.[18]

There has been some debate about Wilson's claims about her background. In May 2015, Australian magazine Woman's Day published a story claiming that Wilson had been misleading about her birth name, age and upbringing.[19] Wilson had previously said in interviews that she was 29 years old, "raised by dog-training 'bogan' parents in the 'ghetto' of Sydney, spent a year in Zimbabwe, climbed into a cage with a leopard, got caught in a shoot-out and then struck down by a severe strain of Malaria from a mozzie in Mozambique where, from her ICU bed, she envisioned herself winning an Oscar and rapping her acceptance speech." Woman's Day called all of this into question and reported that Wilson had, on the contrary, a "very normal, upper-middle-class upbringing" and "added a touch of 'fantasy' to the life she led before becoming a household name."[19] The story was picked up by several other publications including The Sydney Morning Herald, People Magazine,[20] The Chicago Tribune[21] and The Huffington Post.[22] Most notably, Wilson's true birth date was revealed and confirmed as a result of business records filed with the ASIC, which were obtained by The Sydney Morning Herald.[23]

On 16 May 2016, Wilson said print and online articles in Woman's Day, the Australian Women's Weekly, NW and OK! magazine made her out to be a serial liar. According to a defamation writ filed in the Supreme Court of Victoria (Australia), Wilson said her reputation and credit has suffered and she has been humiliated and embarrassed. She is also suing for special damages, claiming she missed out on roles and other ones were terminated because of the articles.[24]

Career

Early career (2002–10)

Wilson studied at the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP).[25] In 2003 she moved to New York after winning the ATYP International scholarship, which was funded by Nicole Kidman. While she was in New York, Wilson trained with The Second City.[26][27] She appeared with the Sydney Theatre Company and performed at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.[25] She first came to the public's attention in 2002 with her stage musical The Westie Monologues, which she wrote,[28] starred in and produced in Sydney.[29] Her follow-up stage productions, which she wrote, produced and starred in include Spunks and Confessions of an Exchange Student.[16][30]

In 2008, Wilson created, wrote, produced and starred in the musical comedy series Bogan Pride on SBS One and also starred in the improvisational Nine Network series Monster House.[18][32] In 2009 Wilson won the Tropfest Best Actress award for her role in the film Bargain.[33] She has made appearances on the improvisational comedy show Thank God You're Here and the comedy game show Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation.[25][34] She performed stand-up on the television special The Breast Darn Show In Town and guest starred in the Seven Network drama City Homicide and performed improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles.[35]

On 19 August 2011, Borys Kit of The Hollywood Reporter reported that Wilson had replaced Casey Wilson in Bachelorette.[41] In 2012, Wilson voiced a character in Ice Age: Continental Drift[41] and played Fat Amy in Pitch Perfect. For the latter role, she received critical acclaim and earned various award nominations, including Best Supporting Actress from the San Diego Film Critics Society and Best Actress in a Comedy from the Broadcast Film Critics Association.[42][43] She won the MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Performance and shared the Best Musical Moment award with her Pitch Perfect co-stars. Wilson was also nominated for Best Female Performance.[44] Wilson later won the Choice Movie Actress: Comedy award for Pitch Perfect at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards.[45] She had also been nominated for Choice Comedian at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards.[46]

In January 2012, Michael Ausiello of TVLine announced that Wilson would be writing and starring in Super Fun Night, a comedy that follows three friends on a quest to have fun every Friday night.[47] The pilot was picked up by CBS and Conan O'Brien became one of the executive producers.[47] The pilot was later turned down by CBS, but the ABC network picked up the project.[48] A series was ordered and the show began broadcasting on 2 October 2013.[49] The series was cancelled after one season.[50] Wilson played Robin Peck in Michael Bay's Pain & Gain (2013).[51][52] She hosted the 2013 MTV Movie Awards on 14 April 2013.[53]

In March 2014, the American satellite television network DISH launched a marketing campaign for its Hopper DVR featuring Wilson as the voice of the eponymous computer animated kangaroo.[54] Wilson reprised her role in the sequel Pitch Perfect 2 in 2015, and will also star in 2017's Pitch Perfect 3 with Anna Kendrick.[55] She joined the voice cast for Kung Fu Panda 3,[56] however in September 2015, Wilson was replaced with Kate Hudson.[57] Wilson next appeared in the ensemble comedy How to Be Single, released in February 2016.[58] Nigel M Smith of The Guardian wrote "Wilson is the standout, nailing every pratfall she's dealt, but How to Be Single doesn't make strong use of her character".[59] Wilson also appeared in the action comedy Grimsby.[60] On 14 February 2016, Wilson presented the nominations for the Best Supporting Actor category at the 69th British Academy Film Awards.[61] Wilson is one of sixty celebrities making a cameo in the upcoming Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie.[62]

Wilson asserted that the producers of Pitch Perfect had refused to let her lose any more weight during filming, as her contract stated she must stay the same size. She said that once her film commitments were over, she would start her diet again to reach her target weight of 80 kilograms (180 lb).[70] In February 2013, she confirmed that she had ended her agreement with Jenny Craig the previous year.[71]

In July 2015, Wilson stated her support for stricter American gun laws following the 2015 Lafayette shooting, stating, "I don't like getting political but America you really have to follow Australia's example re gun laws. I don't remember a mass shooting in Australia since they overhauled the gun laws. It seems like every week in America there's a shooting. I just want people to be safe, especially people that are doing one of my favorite things in the WORLD - going out to the movies 2 have fun."[74][75][76]
