Actress-comedienne Rebel Wilson says her ideal man would be the one who she "couldn't beat in a cage fight".

While the 35-year-old is happy being single now, she says that she knows what she wants in a boyfriend, reports mirror.co.uk.

Asked what she looks for in a man, Wilson told Flare magazine: "I always say, someone I couldn't beat in a cage fight. I like men who are traditionally masculine.

"Like if a table needs to be lifted, he would do that. I mean, I like that show 'The Millionaire Matchmaker'. There's something about traditional manliness and chivalry, and 'gentlemanliness'. But then is that sexist? I don't know.

"Men are traditionally stronger physically. So if you need something done at your house that's physical, they should do it."

While her career is going from strength to strength, starring in strong female-led comedies, she says that she was disappointed with her experience in Sacha Baron Cohen's movie "The Brothers Grimsby".

"I feel really lucky to be a woman in Hollywood doing comedy right now. Now that more writers are getting a chance to create these scripts, it's just more edgy. Girls (are often) relegated to just being the love interest in a guys' movie," she said.

"The experience of filming 'How to Be Single' is so different than, say, my experience on Sacha Baron Cohen's movie 'The Brothers Grimsby'. They just want you to stand in the corner and do nothing, which is a waste," she added.
