Rebel Wilson stuns in see-through top while 'inspiring' Aussie talent

Rebel Wilson has returned to her roots, giving back to the theatre company that helped kickstart her career when she was young. Each year, the star awards a scholarship called the Rebel Wilson Comedy Commission through the theatre, allowing up-and-coming writers to work on a creative idea.

She has been visiting Australia to hold auditions for a film version of The Deb, a musical written by Hannah Reilly, who won the scholarship in 2019. The show premiered at the Australian Theatre for Young People, where the Aussie star had her start in 1999.
