AceShowbiz - Rebel Wilson has looked back at the unforgettable moment with Channing Tatum in her new memoir, "Rebel Rising". The "Pitch Perfect" actress, who worked with the "Magic Mike" hunk on a promo sketch for the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, said she didn't take issue with the actor touching her boobs.
"The picture of me working with Channing Tatum in an MTV promo sketch [right before he touched my boobs, which I had craftily written into the script and told him to do if he wanted to ... obviously this was a highlight of my career]," the 44-year-old said, according to Us Weekly. She also made it clear that she doesn't keep that photo - and other movie memorabilia - in her "real house."
"My other house is in West Hollywood, and I call it 'the office house,' " the Australian native explained. "It stores all my movie posters and memorabilia. I'm not that 'up myself' that I have that stuff in my real house. It's all in my office house."
In the said sketch, Rebel and Channing were in a car being pursued by unknown enemies. While the "21 Jump Street" star was behind the wheel, the comedienne tried to position herself and her rocket launcher so she could fire at whoever was chasing them. It meant climbing on top of the 43-year-old actor for a truly NSFW vantage point.
Rebel has been making headlines with her revelations in "Rebel Rising", which is set to be released on April 2. In the book, she also dedicates an entire chapter to her experience working with Sacha Baron Cohen, whom she called an "a**hole."
Sacha has denied Rebel's claims, calling them "demonstrably false." However, the "How to Be Single" star remains steadfast in her stance, adamant that the leaked footage does not accurately reflect the events that transpired during filming.
Rebel claimed that Sacha behaved badly on the set of their 2016 film "The Brothers Grimsby". She has alleged that the British comedian repeatedly pressured her to perform nude in the movie and made other lewd suggestions.
