'Pitch Perfect' star gets flattering comments from LeBron James

Rebel Wilson a.k.a Fat Amy has just scored a new fan in the person of NBA superstar LeBron James.

In a recent press conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers player hinted that the 35-year-old actress actually did help him to relax after watching her latest film, 'Pitch Perfect 2'.

"I went to the movies last week at a regular movie theater. I went to go see, I forgot the name of the movie... What is the movie with the girls and they're singing?... ',' which is unbelievable. Fat Amy is awesome. I love her. Wherever you are, you're awesome."

Just hours later, Wilson : "Thanks KingJames for the shout out today, your taste in movies is as amazing as your basketball!"

Rebel was recently spotted running errands after filming scenes for 'How To Be Single' in New York City on Wednesday afternoon, June 3.

The huge smile on her face, as she walked, in deed reflected the massive endorsement she and her musical movie just received from the basketball legend.
