Rebel Wilson has made a terrifying revelation: she was kidnapped at gunpoint.
The 'Bridesmaids' star opened up about the incident to Ant Middleton in the latest episode of his Straight Talking series for Sky One.
Per Sky News, Middleton asked the 40-year-old what the most terrifying situation she had ever been in was, and she replied: "There was one time in Africa where I got kidnapped."
In the video below, Rebel Wilson shows off her nunchuck skills:The actress explained that the incident took place when she was with a group of women in rural Mozambique, and they were all ordered to get out of their vehicle.
"These men come on another truck with a lot of guns," she said before Middleton asked: "Pulled up beside you?"
"Yeah, with the big guns, and were like, 'you've got to get off your truck'," she replied. "They took us to this house in the middle of nowhere."
The actress said that she thinks she handled the situation well.
"I feel like I was very good in the crisis," she told Middleton. "Yeah, I was like a team leader."
She continued: "They sat us down. I said, 'everybody link arms'. I'm petrified in the night they might want to take one of the girls or something. Luckily, we weren't harmed."
Fortunately, Wilson and her friends were released the next day.
"The next day, they came and said, 'oh, your truck is ready now you can go - go, go', you know. So we just didn't ask any questions, we got back on that truck and just got back out of there and then crossed the South African border a few hours later.
"I think maybe those guys used us to smuggle illegal things in the bottom of the truck."
Middleton was understandably shocked by the actress's story and said that he had expected her to say that she had come "face-to-face with a snake or a spider" or another relatively harmless event.
"You need to do a hardcore action movie," he said.
The actress did not specify when the terrifying incident took place.
