Australian actress Rebel Wilson has thrown her support behind Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern during a thrill-seeking holiday to New Zealand.

On Monday the Pitch Perfect star took to the trees, screaming as she and her sister hit the zipline at more than 80km/h.

"Zip lining in New Zealand with my sister Liberty and family friends Noelene and Geoffrey," the Hollywood star wrote in the caption.

Between her holiday antics, Wilson delivered a rare insight into her political views, taking the time to praise New Zealand's new progressive Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern.

"I had to go because they have such a cool female Prime Minister Jacinda and check out all the fun stuff they have here," she wrote.

The Bridesmaids star also gave the thumbs up to New Zealand snack, writing: "Plus they have Burger Rings but they are different to Australian Burger Rings."

Wilson's support of Ardern comes a day after viewers slammed 60 Minutes reporter Charles Wooley when he called Ardern "attractive" in what has been described a "patronising" and "repugnant" interview.

"I've met a lot of prime ministers in my time, but none too young and not so many so smart, and never one so attractive," he said on 60 Minutes.

Wooley also came under fire for questioning the young leader, who is pregnant, about her due date.
