Rebel Wilson's cringe-worthy confession: "It hit me, and it was all inside, and it just had to come out!"

During a conversation with Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne on their podcast Life Uncut, Rebel Wilson admitted to popping a squat in a stranger's front yard to conduct some emergency business.

The 41-year-old actress and comedian explained that during a bad day, she ordered a 'whole pizza for lunch' and 'like a 2 litre of Pepsi' and 'just downed it.'

Expectedly, the binge-fest made her feel even worse about herself so she took a walk in the fresh air to alleviate her slump.

"So, I go on the hike and you know, it's hiking up hill, and I was feeling very sluggish after eating probably thousands of calories," Wilson explained.

"I start coming down the hill and there's kind of like, houses between my house and the park."

"And then I like, just get this instant feeling like I gotta go to the toilet," with Rebel adding that she knew she wouldn't be able to make it home in time.

"It hit me, and it was all inside, and it just had to come out," she exclaimed.

Bearing in mind, this was after her breakout in the hit movie Bridesmaids starring Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy.  

"I'd been in the movie Bridesmaids so I was kind of recognizable," and allegedly looked "feral" dressed in exercise gear.

"I'm in a residential street, there's houses on both sides and I'm like, 'Okay I gotta go, should I just ask somebody?'".

"Then I was like, what am I gonna do, just knock on their door and say 'can I use your toilet'? What do you do, what do you do!".

Weighing up her options Rebel knew that she couldn't request to use a stranger's bathroom, nor would she make it to the toilet at the park across the road in time.

"I was trying to hold it in, and I couldn't," Wilson admitted.

"So, I'm just going to have to go in somebody's front yard, I just had to."

"I saw this nice house, but there wasn't any coverage, it wasn't like there were any shrubs and bushes you could hide behind."

The Pitch Perfect star then confessed she ended up squatting on a random person's front lawn to do her business in the wide open.

Thankfully she wasn't spotted by the paparazzi, and a visitor of the neighbour's house who had just pulled up failed to see her.

"So, I just pulled up my pants and left."

20220119 deer flying feature

“And the gold medal for long & high jump goes to…..”

A deer flying through the air with gravity-defying skills is going viral on the internet.

The incredible video posted to Twitter shows the deer leaping as high as two metres as it crosses over a dirt road in India and has had more than 130,000 views.

Don't worry - the deer appears to have landed safely on the other side and continued on its way. (Presumably to then go and chat to Michael Jordan about a basketball gig!).

It looks like a scene out of an action movie or walking-on-air Matrix moves - and commenters were quick to show their appreciation for the flying creature.

20220119 one million Header

Jesse Eckel had a thriving luxury wedding filming business at the start of 2020.

But then the pandemic hit and all those bookings he had disappeared.

He needed a plan to pivot and try new things so he could continue to support his family.

So he started a challenge where he would use just $1 and attempt to make $1 million in a year.

The $1 to One Million Project.

 

@jesseeckel Starting with a $1 gonna make a million dollars. #entrepreneur #hustle #millionaire #entreprenuership #10x ♬ original sound - ˗ˏˋ Jesse Eckel ˊˎ˗

 

Along the journey, Jesse tried several different business ventures.

From cold calling to sell his skills through to investing in cryptocurrency.

Jesse taught himself the new skills along the way which not only helped him but allowed him to add to his skillset.

Having multiple income streams meant that he was able to surpass his wedding business income very quickly.

One venture saw him creating content for a TikTok account that bought in $10k a month!

With side hustles being all the rage right now, there might be something here you could try.

Even though he finished up his 1st year with this project, he is going to be continuing (which you can see on his TikTok @JesseEckel)

Did he make One Million Dollars by the end of his year? He may have fallen short but you can watch the video below to find out all the details.
