Rebel Wilson wears £400 Mickey Mouse Gucci T-shirt to work out in LA

Rebel Wilson has been spotted wearing a Mickey Mouse Gucci T-shirt to work out in – which costs £400.

The Pitch Perfect star donned the bright pink top, which she teamed with black leggings, trainers and a headband as she worked up a sweat in LA.

Looking the picture of health, the 42-year-old completed her outfit with gold-tinted sunglasses and went make-up free with her blonde hair tied up in a ponytail.

Although she can afford it, there could be another reason the Hollywood actress chose to wear the Mickey Mouse top.

She has previously claimed she is related to iconic animator Walt Disney.

Rebel says her great-aunt was Lillian Bounds, who was married to Walt Disney up until his death.

Although the claim has been disputed by some, Rebel insists her grandmother told her about the ‘family relation’ from the age of five.

In fact Rebel’s real name – Melanie Elizabeth Bownds – is very similar to Bounds if the story is true.

Walt Disney died in December 1966, aged 65. His wife Lillian, who was an ink artist at Disney studios, died in 1997 at the age of 98 following a stroke.

As well as displaying her claimed heritage modelling the top, Rebel continued her impressive health journey as she headed out on a hike.

In the past 18 months, the star is believed to have lost around five stone after declaring she was embarking on a ‘year of health’.

Starting off at 16 stone, the 5ft 2in actress is thought to now weigh under her target weight of 11 and a half stone, which she reached at the end of 2020.

Rebel’s desire to have children is said to have kickstarted her fitness regime.

It comes after doctors told her the healthier she was, the more likely she would be able to conceive.

She is also thought to have frozen her eggs to give herself a better chance of getting pregnant later in life.

Rebel revealed she once used to eat as much as 3,000 calories per day - but says she was a “normal size” when she was younger.

It was only when she hit her twenties that she began to put on weight after being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

In an Instagram live, Rebel shared the real reason behind her weight loss.

She said: “When I was going through and looking into fertility stuff, the doctor was like, 'Well, you'd have a much better chance if you were healthier'.

“I was actually a bit offended. Even though I was bigger, I was pretty healthy. So that's what started it - that if I lost some excess weight, it would give me a better chance of freezing eggs and having better quality eggs.

"At first it wasn't even for myself, it was thinking of a future mini-me and their quality."
