Rebel Wilson confirms she is moving to London

Rebel Wilson has bought a property in London and has confirmed she is now planning to relocate to the UK capital.

Wilson, who hosted the BAFTAs on Sunday, revealed: “I have bought a place here so I’m moving. Yeah, it’s in London. I love it here.”

The Bridesmaids star was born in Sydney, Australia, but has lived in the US over recent years.

However, after landing a role in a British drama, she’s now set to move to London.

Teasing details of her new role, Wilson told The Sun newspaper: “It’s out later this year. It’s serious – like, really serious.”

Wilson joked about her dramatic weight-loss during her controversial BAFTA hosting gig.

The actress has lost five-and-a-half stone since she appeared at the event in 2020, and Rebel joked during her opening monologue that she’d embarked on a fitness drive in order to impress The Batman star Robert Pattinson.

Speaking on-stage at the Royal Albert Hall, Wilson quipped: “I might look a bit different from the last time you guys saw me here.

“Clearly it was to get the attention of Robert Pattinson. No seriously, it was to get more acting roles. I can now play the non-funny love interest in an Adam Sandler movie.”
