According to her memoir that will be released on Thursday, Rebel Wilson's income drastically increased from $3,500 for the film Bridesmaids to an astounding $10 million for Pitch Perfect 3.

The actor who is 44 years old talks about relocating from Australia to America. He then proceeded to sign up with agents at William Morris Endeavor before eventually securing a role in the movie Bridesmaids.

In the blog post, she mentions how the comedy movie featuring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, and Melissa McCarthy turned out to be a turning point in her career in Hollywood. She describes it as an initial opportunity that shaped her entire professional journey.

According to Wilson in her book Rebel Rising, the compensation offered to Bridesmaids' cast members was not a concern for her. She stated that the payment was sufficient to cover her membership dues for the SAG-AFTRA union and allowed her to keep pursuing her acting career in Hollywood.

The whole encounter was absolutely amazing!

Wilson shared that only fourteen days after the release of Bridesmaids, she secured roles in six different films, with one of them being Pitch Perfect. She expressed how successful this particular film turned out to be for her career.

During her interview with The New York Times, Wilson shared how the Pitch Perfect movies' triumph and the fame of her role as "Fat Amy" provided her with the opportunity to bargain for a more substantial compensation than what was initially suggested.

The movies of Pitch Perfect brought in a lot of profit for Universal Studios, which is absolutely amazing.

Despite my strong affection for everyone at Universal, did I take advantage of my influence? Yes, I did. When the deadline was approaching, I told them, "I appreciate your offer of $9 million, but if you could make it $10 million, that would be even better."

As an actor, being offered a salary in the eight-figure range is a major accomplishment. For female actors, this is especially significant since they often don't discuss their earnings. In contrast, male actors seem comfortable bragging about their $20 million per movie salaries.

Wilson achieved widespread recognition for her role in the Pitch Perfect movies. However, she revealed that taking on the character of "Fat Amy" had a stipulation in her contract that required her to maintain a certain weight.

In her memoir, she reveals that her agency preferred her to be overweight because they earned significant commissions for every movie in which she played the comedic overweight character.

The film world is buzzing about Rebel Rising after Wilson shared that she wrote a whole section about Sacha Baron Cohen in her book. She recounts how he persistently pressured her to strip down for a scene while they collaborated on the 2016 movie The Brothers Grimsby.

Baron Cohen's representatives have denied Wilson's accusations in a statement given to The Independent. They pointed out that there is solid and comprehensive evidence, such as current documents, filmed material, and testimonies from eyewitnesses who were present during the filming of The Brothers Grimsby. They also acknowledged the significance of speaking up, but felt that Wilson's accusations were clearly untrue.
