Rebel Wilson shares behind the scenes footage of her elaborate mermaid photo shoot 

Rebel Wilson has shared some fun behind the scenes footage of an elaborate photo shoot, in which she poses as a mermaid. 

The video, posted to Instagram on Monday, shows the 40-year-old splashing about in a pool that appears to be in the yard of a hilltop mansion. 

A photographer is heard encouraging the actress to splash and embrace her inner lady fish but Rebel appears to struggle.

Rebel explained in her caption: ‘I clearly LOVE modeling in a pool when it’s FREEZING (what you can’t see from the video is that dry ice was added to the pool for the photos which made it extra freezing!)

‘This was taken from a shoot a few years back with legendary photographer Tierney Gearon for @nytimes. 

‘The photos turned out brilliantly! Shout out to @dasweiner who moments after this almost had to jump into the pool to save me!’

It comes after the Australian star shared another behind the scenes moment, this time of her fellow cast mates kicking back on the set of Pitch Perfect. 

The throwback videos were posted to Instagram Stories on Sunday and showed herself and co-star, Alexis Knapp, sitting inside a crowded trailer with the rest of the cast. 

‘See most people think that the Trebles and Bellas don’t get on, but we do,’ Rebel told the camera, referring to Pitch Perfect’s on-screen rivals, The Barden Bellas and The Treblemakers.

‘Here’s a Treble right here,’ Rebel added, panning the camera over to her co-star Adam DeVine. He sarcastically retorted: ‘I love acting.’   

‘What do we do in-between takes on the set of Pitch Perfect?’ Rebel asked the camera. 

She then proceeded to walk around the trailer to film a group of cast members enjoying a festive singalong.
