The first time Rebel Wilson crossed paths with fellow Aussie Russell Crowe, he told her to "f*** off".
Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Wilson says she saw Crowe and Nicole Kidman having dinner in Sydney.
Wilson had been awarded the Nicole Kidman Scholarship at the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP), which paid for her to fly to New York and study comedy.
So naturally, when she saw Kidman, Wilson went up to speak to her.
"I go, 'OK now's my chance, I'm going to say thank you'," she told Leno.
