Brittany Hockley says the success of friend Rebel Wilson’s Netflix comedy Senior Year has inspired her to pursue her own acting dreams
Brittany Hockley found fame on The Bachelor franchise before becoming a successful podcaster, but now the 34-year-old has her sights set on an acting career.
The Sydney-based star, who is good friends with Rebel Wilson, says that watching Rebel film the Netflix comedy Senior Year has inspired her to pursue acting.
Brittany, who was on the set of the movie while it was being filmed, shared some behind-the-scenes clips and photos to Instagram on Tuesday.

‘On set of Senior Year last year watching this boss do her thing and honestly nothing has made me want to be in a movie like this more,’ she gushed.
‘Such a fun set!’ she added. ‘I mean, what a vibe.’
Brittany then publicly congratulated Rebel on the success of the film, posting a selfie of the pair together before tagging Rebel and Netflix.
‘I knew it would be great, but #1 in over 60 countries!?! Congrats beauty. Way to overachieve!’

Last month, Brittany revealed that being mates with the Pitch Perfect star had inspired her to chase her own acting dreams.
‘Rebel is so great. I spent a lot of time with her last year and on sets with her in Atlanta, and she really re-inspired me to keep chasing the dream and [reminded me] that nothing comes easily,’ she told Stellar Magazine.
The Life Uncut host has even signed up for acting classes at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney – whose alumni include Cate Blanchett, Sarah Snook and Mel Gibson.

‘I’ve been doing some study at NIDA. Even Rebel got rejected from NIDA, like, four times and just hearing her say, ‘”They were basically saying I’m not good enough, but I kept going”, seeing all her success and how incredible she is,’ she continued.
‘It’s really inspiring that there’s no age limit, there’s no number of times you can get knocked down before you can get back up’.
Brittany rose to fame on Nick ‘The Honey Badger’ Cummins’ season of The Bachelor in 2018.
