She spoke to People about her role in her new film The Almond and the Seahorse. In the drama, she plays “Sarah,” who supports her husband after suffering a serious brain injury. About the character of the role she embodied, the 42-year-old said: “Sarah” “definitely wants a baby” and is therefore struggling with the decision to stay with her husband. Her desire to have a baby is “so strong”. This unfulfilled desire to have children in her film role was the parallel to her own life: During filming, Wilson pursued her own family planning with fertility treatments.

No viable embryos: “It was devastating”
“During filming, I received the terrible news that none of the eggs I had collected up to that point survived the thawing process,” the actress recalled of that grueling time. “So I had lost a lot of weight and had had three surgeries by then and no viable embryos. It was devastating.” Her feelings were reflected in her film role: “There were feelings of loss, feelings of hope – and all of that played into my performance. It was a very emotional time.” All the more Rebel Wilson can now look forward to her happiness as a mother.
