With her dominant left-hand, she joked about feeling confident in throwing a powerful left hook if the need ever arose in real-life situations.

As Wilson continues to diversify her roles and explore new genres, fans can expect to see her bring a fresh and exciting energy to the screen in ‘Bride Hard.’ With her blend of humour and physicality, Wilson is poised to captivate audiences in this upcoming film.
The premiere of ‘Bride Hard’ in West Hollywood, California, was a testament to Wilson’s hard work and commitment to her role. Walking the red carpet with her stunt double, Wilson exuded confidence and excitement for audiences to experience the thrill of the film she poured her heart and soul into.
In conclusion, Rebel Wilson’s transformation into ‘beast mode’ for ‘Bride Hard’ showcases her dedication to pushing boundaries and embracing new challenges in her acting career.
