Rebel Wilson agreed to every date she was offered before romance with Jacob Busch

Rebel Wilson has opened up about her dating tactics - saying she used to say yes to every fella who asked.

The Aussie actress, 40, is now loved up with billionaire Jacob Busch after the two got together last year.

But back in 2019, Rebel was single and on the dating scene, doing an "experiment" in which she went out with all comers.

"I did an experiment where I dated anyone who asked me out," she said, "It was part of the rules of that year, not that I told people that was happening.

"I just had to give lots of people a chance and then I learnt lots about myself."

The Pitch Perfect star made the revelation to SAS tough nut Ant Middleton on Sky's new documentary Ant Middleton & Rebel Wilson: Straight Talking.

When Ant pushed her to reveal what she'd learned, Rebel candidly told him: "Don't shut yourself off to love.

""I had lots of really good friends but I never allowed myself to get into relationships until the last few years.

"Life is short and you really have to go for it."

2020 saw Rebel shed an estimated three stone with a major lifestyle overhaul that saw her eat healthy and take on gruelling workout regimes.

Over the summer of her "year of health", she posted a video of herself flipping a tyre, joking that she was "coming for" famously ripped Aussie brothers Chris and Liam Hemsworth.

And Rebel hasn't been shy about how she's done it, insisting it's down to hard graft but urging fans to switch up their workouts.

Chatting to an Australian radio station, she told that the pandemic gave her time she doesn't always have while she works on her films.

"Obviously a lot of the TV shows and movies got shut down," she recalled, "so what I was going to do has been delayed so I'm just getting ripped.

"I'm exercising every day. You've gotta get on the bandwagon of being ripped.

"I was actually doing all this outdoor stuff like running up and down the Sydney Opera House stairs. And then just in the dirt doing my sit-ups and push-ups."

You can catch Ant's full chat with Rebel tomorrow night.

*Ant Middleton & Rebel Wilson: Straight Talking airs on Sky One at 9pm on Thursday.
