‘I was really unpopular. In my first year of high school, I just sat in the library at lunch all by myself everyday, ‘Rebel said in an interview with Extra.

‘I went on a deliberate mission to become popular. I read a book called “How to win friends and influence people” and it worked. In a year or two I was the most popular. ‘

Back in 2020, Rebel shared a photo from her high school musical in which she played a barrister, a long time before she pursue a legal degree at university.

Rebel thanked her friend for sharing the old high schools in the caption, and said: ‘The last one (photo) cracks me up so hard – I was GANGSTA AF (as f ** k) at year eight camp,’ referring to the picture of herself in a cap.

She added: ‘PS shout out to all the cool chicks I went to school with (and the nice Kings boys [The King’s College]… our musicals were lit) – total legends. ‘

Rebel is now considered one of the most famous comedic actresses in the world.

And she certainly turned heads when she stepped out in New York City on Thursday evening.

The blonde star, who has shed more than 35kg (77lbs or 5.5st) in the last 18 months, looked absolutely stunning in an incredibly chic pink dress.

She showed off her slender midsection by cinching the frock in at the waist with a matching Valentino candy-colored belt.

Rebel recently denied she lost weight using the Mayr Method diet plan

Her weight loss has been widely attributed to the strategies developed by Austrian physician Dr Franz Xaver Mayr.

However, she distanced herself from the Mayr Method in a statement on Instagram last month, telling her 10.6 million followers: ‘This was never my diet.’

The Mayr Method eliminates certain foods, reduces sugar and also encourages certain eating practices such as chewing food thoroughly.

People magazine was the first publication to report Rebel had lost weight with the Mayr Method, citing a ‘source’ close to the actress.

The article, published in June 2020, claimed Rebel had seen ‘amazing results’ since adopting the method during her stay at the VivaMayr wellness center in Austria.

This information has since been repeated countless times by other news outlets, with food website Mashed publishing an article last month stating she followed the diet and listing her corresponding day on a plate.

But Rebel did not correct the record until Monday April 18 when the Daily Mail Australia ran a story about her dramatic slimdown, citing the Mashed report.

While Rebel has denied following the Mayr Method diet, she did spend time in 2020 at a wellness center that uses Dr Mayr’s techniques, which is perhaps where the confusion arose.
