DO good things come to those who wait?
In her new memoir, actress Rebel Wilson revealed she was 35 when she had sex for the first time, with actor Mickey Gooch Jr, six years her junior.
Aussie Rebel, 44, adds that he did not know she was a virgin and that she was late to the game because she feared, “As a big girl, no one would ever find me sexually attractive”.
In her book Rebel Rising, she writes: “I didn’t want to live my life without experiencing sex.
“I put it out into the universe that I was finally ready.
“I was going to sl*t it up with the next guy that came along. And, Micks, I know this might be news to you but, yes, I lost my virginity to you.”

She was offered a top modelling gig while at the airport – and has never looked back career-wise.
CHRIS MARTIN, 22
THE 47-year-old Coldplay singer says his religious upbringing put a dampener on his sex game.
Raised in Devon by committed Christian parents, Chris did not lose his virginity until after university.
He recalled: “There were religious issues and s**t like that.
“Also, confidence. I had a tricky time with girls. I got trapped in the friendship tip many, many times.
“I don’t want to be the person that makes everyone laugh before they go off and bang.”
PRUE LEITH, 15
SHE is the voice of reason on TV’s Bake Off, but Prue revealed she felt pushed into sex as a youngster.
The 84-year-old told Sunday Times Magazine: “I was just weak because I had this rather pushy boyfriend who kept taunting me.
“But luckily I had a good relationship soon afterwards and that was when I discovered that sex was great.”
Prue would later have a 13-year affair with Rayne Kruger, the husband of her mother’s best friend, who she eventually went on to marry.
CARA DELEVINGNE, 18
SHE appears to be full of confidence now, but model Cara, 31, says she was shy when it came to sexual encounters as a youngster.
Speaking on drag queen RuPaul’s podcast about losing her virginity at 18, she revealed: “I was quite late.
“After being conditioned to think, ‘This is the noise that people make’, I remember stopping making any noise or trying to really maintain it.
“It was a one-night stand and it happened at a New Year’s Eve party.
“It put me off sex for about two years.”
ADRIANA LIMA, 27
THE 42-year-old former Victoria’s Secret model remained a virgin until her wedding day in 2009.
Brazilian Adriana wed Serbian basketball player Marko Jaric, 45, on Valentine’s Day in a private civil ceremony and spoke about wanting to live “purely” until she became a wife.
She said: “Sex is for after marriage. Men have to respect that this is my choice.
“If there’s no respect, that means they don’t want me.’”
The pair, who share two daughters, separated in 2014 and divorced two years later.
SIMON COWELL, 17
THE 64-year-old X Factor boss reportedly lost his virginity with his first serious girlfriend.
According to biography Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life Of Simon Cowell, by Tom Bower, the future music mogul fell head over heels for the woman and they dated for a further 18 months after their first night of passion.
But then it all came crashing down when Simon was said to have been seen at a party kissing one of his tutors from Windsor Technical College.
CHERYL TWEEDY, 15
FORMER X Factor judge Cheryl made her teenage lover wait three months before they took things into the bedroom.
The 40-year-old former Girls Aloud singer told Glamour magazine: “I was 15 when I lost my virginity, but I made my boyfriend wait three months, so I am really proud of myself for that.”
The pop star also says she has never had a one-night stand, adding: “The thought of being intimate with someone you don’t know really freaks me out.
“I think men should earn that intimacy.”
JIMMY CARR, 26
HE is not shy of making racy remarks as host of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, but the 51-year-old comedian says this is a world away from his awkward teenage years.
Speaking on Desert Island Discs, he said: “Yeah, late to sex – very late to sex.
“I quite like talking about that, though, because I really remember being a teenager and thinking, ‘I’m not normal, I’m weird’.
“Maybe religion played into it and not meeting the right person.
“I think I was a little bit repressed, I’m a late developer and I’m OK with that.”
KATIE HOLMES, 26
THE 45-year-old Dawson’s Creek actor – and former Mrs Tom Cruise – had always vowed to stay a virgin until she married.

They only actually tied the knot after their baby was born, getting married in a Scientology ceremony in November that year.
