A life-altering experience! Rebel Wilson got candid about her first kiss with a woman — an onscreen smooch, no less — and how it ultimately led to her romance with girlfriend Ramona Agruma.“I was so nervous. Charlotte Gainsbourg was the first woman I’d ever kissed,” the Pitch Perfect star, 42, recalled to The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published on Sunday, November 11, speaking about a love scene with her The Almond and the Seahorse costar. “I’d never kissed a woman before so I was thinking, ‘Oh God, how’s that going to go?’”Wilson — who told the outlet that she “took [Gainsbourg] out for a donut a few days before” filming the romantic moment — not only wound up feeling comfortable kissing her costar in the upcoming drama, but felt that their characters could have had an even more intense love scene.“Once I’d gotten over that initial [anxiety] of kissing a woman and getting into the scene, I thought maybe it should be more about the emotional moment and we could even make it a bit more sexy or even go a bit further,” Wilson recalled, explaining that the “tight” production schedule — and her belief that the male directors, Celyn Jones and Tom Stern, wanted to be “cautious and respectful” — made it so more in-depth scenes were unable to happen.However, the kiss by itself made a huge impact on the Australia native’s life.“Weirdly through kissing [Gainsbourg] in my professional life, I thought, ‘Well, maybe I should do that for real in my personal life and see how it goes,’ which I did,” Wilson — who also recalled having once having a similar, but non-sexual, “situation” with a woman — told THR, laughing. “That was in 2021 and then I met Ramona at the end of 2021.
