Rebel Wilson and Anna Camp Chat About Being Gay and Happy

When Rebel Wilson’s character made the joke in Pitch Perfect about how, statistically, at least one of the Barden Bellas was gay, she thought she was the only one who was secretly queer. Now, all these years later, she has a wife, Anna Kendrick and Ester Dean have expressed queer leanings, and, most recently, Anna Camp has come out by showing off her super cute relationship with her girlfriend. Plus, some of the other women from that movie are undetermined; I found no proof of their sexuality online, but some of them have the vibe. (Also I know Hailee Steinfeld just married a whole man but she has played too many queer characters too well for me to not be waiting for her to come out as queer, too.)

In a recent interview with Pride, Rebel Wilson said that on the set of Pitch Perfect 2, she remembers having some really nice, candid chats about sexuality behind the scenes, and that she has felt really supported during her coming out journey.

Rebel Wilson was technically strongarmed into coming out by an Australian tabloid back in 2022, and Anna Camp casually came out earlier this year with a hard launch during a viral Tiktok, so neither took a traditional route, but both say that they’re now being met with a lot of support from fans and friends alike.

Which is great because it means that they’re still talking joyfully and publicly about their queerness, something that’s more impactful than ever in the current political climate. In fact, just the other day, Anna Camp’s girlfriend Jade Whitkey posted a sweet birthday message on her grid, saying, “You are the easiest person to celebrate and the sweetest to love.” Happy Pride!

I don’t know how queer the duo’s movie Bride Hard will be, but I love that the media tour for it means they’re talking publicly about their queerness, because it brings me a lot of joy. The movie comes out later this week on June 20th!
