Five lessons learned from Rebel Wilson:

She admits she’s not funny all the time…
“Most people who know me know I’m not switched on all the time. I don’t like to be like that in real life, because it’s draining. If I’m how I am as Fat Amy all fucking day… I can be sometimes, but I’d be a psycho if I was like that 24/7. You gotta chill out and just be normal for a bit, I say.”

All her friends are legit famous – actors, singers and pop stars…
“I have a lot of celebrity friends. But they’re all Hollywood friends. You can’t call them if you fall over and break your leg, but if you’re having a BBQ and wanna chitchat, you hang out with them, or you go to their house.”

She prefers to wear flats…
“I can’t wear high heels. I suck at wearing high heels.”

She learned her best model moves from Tyra Banks
“I never thought I’d be the type of girl who’d be doing, like, fashion shoots. I used to watch some of the reality shows about models and then, weirdly, now I try to incorporate into my fashion shoots the skills I learnt from watching those shows. It’s like thanks Tyra, cause you’ve given me like all the cool tips. Like how to smile with your eyes.” Handy!

Her favourite thing to wear off-duty is cartoon tees…
“In my real life I tend to wear T-shirts with cartoon characters on them. I love T-shirts!”

On set, she nails it every time…
“I hate people who do a lot of takes. I like to nail it and then go home. I like to crush it in, like, two takes.”
