Wilson has claimed that her great-aunt was Lillian Bounds, who was married to Walt Disney until his death in 1966. Wilson's first career choice was mathematics. She told ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', "I was very academic at high school and was always good with numbers." She attended the University of New South Wales, graduating in 2009 with degrees in law and arts (theatre and performance studies).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.arts.unsw.edu.au/alumni-supporters/alumni/leaders )〕 A former Rotary International Youth Ambassador for Australia, she was based in South Africa for one year, where she contracted malaria.〔 She claims the malaria caused hallucinations where she saw herself as an actress who had won an Oscar, convincing her to pursue an acting career.〔 There has been some debate about Wilson's claims about her background. In May 2015, Australian tabloid ''Woman's Day'' published a story claiming that Rebel Wilson had been misleading about her birth name, age and upbringing. Wilson had previously said in interviews that she was twenty-nine years old, "raised by dog-training 'bogan' parents in the 'ghetto' of Sydney, spent a year in Zimbabwe, climbed into a cage with a leopard, got caught in a shoot-out and then struck down by a severe strain of Malaria from a mozzie in Mozambique where, from her ICU bed, she envisioned herself winning an Oscar and rapping her acceptance speech." Woman's Day called all of this into question and reported that Wilson had, on the contrary, a "very normal, upper-middle-class upbringing" and "added a touch of 'fantasy' to the life she led before becoming a household name." The story was picked up by several other publications including ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', ''People Magazine'', ''The Chicago Tribune'' and ''The Huffington Post''. Most notably, Wilson's true birthday was revealed and confirmed as a result of business records filed with the ASIC, which were obtained by ''The Sydney Morning Herald''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rebel Wilson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
