Rebel Wilson says idea only gay actors can play gay roles is ‘total nonsense’By Hannah Roberts, PA Entertainment ReporterAustralian actress Rebel Wilson has said the idea that “only straight actors can play straight roles and gay actors can play gay roles” is “total nonsense”. “I’ve definitely said a lot of edgy jokes, and said them sometimes in very public places like the Baftas”, she said. Rebel Wilson attends the UK premiere of The Almond and the Seahorse. It’s going into this territory of like saying, ‘Well, only straight actors can play straight roles, and gay actors can play gay roles’, which I think is total nonsense. The full interview with Wilson will broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Sunday at 10am and will also be available on BBC Sounds.
