all right outback
and your name uh rebel chosen why um well my dad was the leader of a bikey gang no joking
no a little girl called rebels sang at my parents wedding and that's where they got
the name from and because my mom um is a dog shower and breeds dogs she likes to have themed
names um so my got two sisters liberty and anarchy and my brother's called riot yes wait a minute
rebel riot liberty yeah good heavens that's unusual yeah
i was like lucky i became an actress yeah uh and and uh what was where in australia um from
sydney the western suburbs which is kind of like the real ghetto area but but but it's not uh
out in the middle of the continent where it really is bush and outback is it semi-real
semi-rural when my family bought their house there it came with a free donkey it is
legit no it didn't it did not know it didn't come with a free donkey and then the donkey like we're
trying to sleep and the donkey's going and we had to like give it to someone who i think killed it
i know i know nothing about australian real estate but was the donkey the make or break in that deal
throw in the donkey we got a deal is that how that worked it probably was yeah and then you
how did you get to the united states well first of all what what tv kind of stuff and film stuff did
you do in australia um well like i was on lots of tv shows um you know just strutting around
and they didn't really have big movies in australia so i knew like i had to
come to america now uh when i say the words little britain yes that's you in that show
no that's actually my housemate matt lucas you're not in there at all we just look very similar
but we're actually two separate people but uh we're both hilarious
a lot of people say that they actually their first question is oh are you guys married and then their
second question is when we say no they're like are you brother and sister which is just a strange
strange yeah that that would be the second thing to go to yeah yeah all right all right well well

and it was pretty fun filming that movie i got to share a trailer with the monkey
her name's christo monkey a little bit arrogant what kind of monkey now monkey is sort of a
generic term but they're also the capuchin monkey i think that might be the technical phrase
well-behaved animal yeah um so a lot of people want photos because she's very cute and
um i saw a lot of people getting photos with her and i'm like i'll just wait because what if she
poops on my outfit um and so i finished the scene and then i'm like oh um would i be able
to have a photo with crystal and her bodyguard said no crystal is preparing for her next scene
and she was just sitting there going but you know we had our dramas but then by the end
of the shoot me and crystal were like best buddies yeah like if michael jackson hadn't
done that weird thing with having a monkey i would have like wanted a monkey
