Rebel Wilson has revealed that she was once abducted with a gun.
The actress, who has documented her weight loss journey over the course of the year, appears in an episode of the series “Straight Talking” for Sky One. The show takes celebrities and places them in an interview with former Royal Marines Commando Ant Middleton.
Middleton asked her during Wilson’s appearance about the moment in her life when she experienced the most fear.
“There was one time in Africa where I was abducted,” reveals the actress “Pitch Perfect” (via Sky News).

Confusing is that Wilson and her friends were simply allowed to leave the next day by the kidnappers, even though they were detained all night with guns.
“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 did not ask any questions, we got on that truck again and returned from there and crossed the South African border a few hours later.”
Since the disturbing incident, the star believes she has determined why they may leave unharmed.
