Rebel Wilson has opened up about her sex life, revealing that she didn't lose her virginity until her mid-thirties.

Wilson is set to release her new book, Rebel Rising, which seems like it's going to be lifting the lid on her private life and her career.

In an interview with PEOPLE, Wilson candidly discussed the topic of losing her virginity in her mid-thirties, urging others to not feel pressured to have sex until they feel ready.

"Not everybody has to lose their virginity as a teenager," Wilson shared. "People can wait till they're ready or wait till they're a bit more mature. And I think that could be a positive message. You obviously don't have to wait until you're in your thirties like me, but you shouldn't feel pressure as a young person."

However, Wilson admitted that discussing this subject hasn't always been easy for her. Reflecting on her past struggles, she confessed to dodging conversations and even making up stories to avoid revealing her age at the time of losing her virginity.

"I would often try to avoid conversations about the topic so I wouldn't have to reveal how old I was when I lost my virginity," Wilson said. "Normally I would just leave the room when the conversation was happening."

Labeling herself a "late-bloomer," the Pitch Perfect star speculated on how societal attitudes may have influenced her experiences, expressing that if she had been born in a different era, she might have explored her sexuality sooner.

"I just knew I was attracted to men, and that was the normal thing," she said. "And so when I started opening myself up probably more after my father's death and realizing, oh, even though I'd seen marriage as a terrible thing and waste of time, I started opening myself up to that."

Elsewhere in the book, Wilson dedicated an entire chapter to Sacha Baron Cohen, claiming that the actor is an a**hole who allegedly asked some pretty grotesque stuff of her when they worked together.

According to reports from People, Wilson recounts instances where Cohen allegedly pressured her to perform nude scenes.

"It felt like every time I’d speak to SBC [Sacha Baron Cohen], he’d mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene. I was like, 'Ha, I don’t do nudity, Sacha,'" Wilson wrote.

"Every day he’s like, 'Just go naked, it will be funny." she continued. "Remember in Borat when I did that naked scene? It was hilarious.' On the last day I thought I’d obviously won the argument, and he got a body double to do the naked scene."

The allegations went on, as Wilston wrote: "SBC summons me via a production assistant saying that I’m needed to film an additional scene... Then he pulls his pants down … SBC says very matter-of-factly: ‘Okay, now I want you to stick your finger up my a**.’ And I’m like, ‘What?? … No!!’ …” Wilson claimed.

Cohen's team has since responded, stating: "While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during, and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby."
