Rebel Wilson revealed that she has already been kidnapped at gunpoint.
The actress, who has documented her journey to lose weight throughout the year, appeared in an episode of the series “Straight Talking” for Sky One. The show takes celebrities and puts them in an interview with former Royal Marines Commando Ant Middleton.
During Wilson’s appearance, Middleton asked her about the time in her life when she was most afraid.
“There was a time in Africa when I was kidnapped,” revealed the actress from “Pitch Perfect” (via Sky News).

“Yeah, with big guns, and they were like, ‘you gotta get out of your truck,'” she explained. “They took us to this house in the middle of nowhere.”
The star was surprised to notice that she was “good in crisis” and ended up being the “team leader” of her group in dealing with the kidnappers.
“They sat us down. I said, ‘all arm in arm’. I am petrified at night, they may want to take one of the girls or something, “she said.” Fortunately, we were not harmed. “

Surprisingly, Wilson and his friends were simply allowed to leave by the hijackers the next day, despite being held at gunpoint all night.
“The next day, they came and said, ‘oh, your truck is ready, now you can go – go, go,’ you know,” she said. “So we just didn’t ask any questions, we got back in the truck and we just got out of there and crossed the border with South Africa a few hours later.”
Since the terrible incident, the star believes it has discovered why they were allowed to leave unscathed.

“I think maybe those guys used us to smuggle illegal stuff in the bottom of the truck,” she theorized.
