Actress Rebel Wilson revealed in her biography the impressive salary increase she had between “Bridesmaids” and “Pitch Perfect 3“.
Actress Rebel Wilson made a series of revelations about her life in her biography “Rebel Rising“, released earlier this year. In one of the chapters, the star spoke about the impressive salary increase she had between her roles in “Bridesmaids” and “Pitch Perfect 3“.
In her book, she shares that the role that truly made her famous was in “Bridesmaids“, but in reality, Rebel only received $3,500 for her performance in the 2011 comedy, where she starred alongside Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and Maya Rudolph.
Two weeks after the film’s release, she landed roles in six different productions, including “Pitch Perfect“, which took Wilson’s career to another level of success. In the first film of the franchise, her salary had already risen to $65,000, and when the third film was released, she received an incredible $10,000,000 to portray “Fat Amy” again.
In an interview with The New York Times, she mentioned that she was initially offered $9,000,000, but she was determined to secure that huge eight-figure deal for the movie, which she ultimately did.
“This is a huge milestone when you’re an actor. Getting an eight-figure offer, for a woman, is massive,” she said.
