Rebel Wilson has recently slammed the claims that she faked her name and age, saying that she doesn't have anything to hide.
The 35-year-old actress said that it is hard for people to write something bad about her, reports People magazine.
She added, "You know, I don't have a drug addiction or a secret child. But I think when I did go to America, I kind of just stopped saying my age."
The topic of Wilson's age made headlines last year, when a former classmate accused the actress of being seven years older than what the media had been reporting. She also claimed Wilson went by a different name in high school.
At that time, the actress rubbed off the claims by tweeting, "OMG I'm actually a 100 year old mermaid formerly known as "CC Chalice" ....thanks shady Australian press for your tall poppy syndrome x."
Wilson said that when a person works in America he needs to show his passport for every single job so it's not possible to hide their age.
She added that she was just being a lady and didn't tell her age when she moved to America and that's what most actresses do.
