Rebel Wilson reunites with Bridesmaids co-star Matt Lucas in London – as she praises the comedian for giving her ‘brotherly advice’

She’s been staying in London for the past week to work on a secret project. 

But Rebel Wilson took time out of her work schedule to reconnect with an old friend – British comedian Matt Lucas. 

The actors, who played warring sibling roommates in the 2011 comedy film Bridesmaids, posted photos of themselves wandering the graffiti-covered streets of London together on Sunday. 

‘Love you Matt, you’re always there for helpful roommate/brotherly advice’: Rebel Wilson caught up with her long-time friend, British comedian Matt Lucas, while in London on Sunday 

In her caption, Rebel wrote: ‘Only gays in the village’ – a cheeky reference to Matt’s character Daffyd Thomas in Little Britain. 

‘Love you Matt, you’re always there for helpful roommate/brotherly advice,’ she added. 

Matt meanwhile shared a heartfelt caption that read: ‘Reunited after a year apart. A lovely weekend walk with an old friend who is here filming a movie. #roomies.’
