I managed a popular restaurant in Hollywood for a couple years before the Pandemic and we’d constantly have celebrities dine with us but Anna Kendrick was somewhat of a regular. She was the sole celebrity I semi got to know and let me tell you, she is exactly who you see in these clips, but so much more down-to-earth. She’s super confident, funny, and comfortable to be around. She never took herself too seriously. One night a song by The Spice Girls came on and she just stood up and started singing along. Whenever she was there, people just had a good time around her. Just a cool girl. Thought I’d share cause she made a great impression upon me🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m glad I’ve seen this bc there are a few bad stories about her on line about how she snubs service ppl and gets her “people” to deal with them as she won’t allow anyone to speak directly with her.

[@jdk9673]

And she’s hilarious

[@ChrisS-oo6fl]

Do a little research she’s a horrible person behind the camera and people can’t stand her. Her dry sarcastic comedy isn’t humor it’s arrogance. She’s extremely rude and disrespectful to fans, crew, assistants and regular people. There countless reports. People are extremely vulnerable to the persona and false image of celebrities and content creators. That’s an false persona they put in because that’s what they’re good at. People can’t be so gullible all the time.

[@missMediaChick]

Authenticity? You mean her endless reputation for being absolutely horrible to people?

[@TwoWrights]

@@missMediaChick "Endless reputation" would be a term used for the thing she is more known for. A handful of stories spread by tabloid magazines is not a reputation. This video is her reputation. What I commented is her reputation. There's not only thousands of positive stories about her, but theres hours and hours of interview footage that prove otherwise. That's what this whole video is about. So you are saying that the unsubstantiated negative reports you read in tabloids are what you chose to believe over the overwhelming evidence showing otherwise, and you thought that you'd win people over (fans nonetheless) by commenting with your minority view that you've chosen to believe against logic and your own eyes. Nice work, edgelord.

[@missMediaChick]

@@TwoWrights A bit of a psychotic response from you. I don't read tabloids. I do work in TV production. It's no secret that she's a nightmare to work with for both cast and crew, and she treats fans like garbage on the regular. Sorry to burst your delusion.

Look up any reported interaction with her that’s not filmed on camera. Any statements by those who’ve met her or worked with her. She’s grotesque, rude, arrogant and ignorant. Your a fan of her public persona and on camera character. That’s what’s so dangerous about the human mindset and fandom.

Think about it, when you're having a job interview, and you think it goes well, don't you say some weird crap by accident?

[@markgunther2502]

defnitely real as f@g

[@peterisawesomeplease]

I really like her. But I think her authenticity is almost a sad reflection of the horrors of social media and Hollywood. She can be anything including her authentic self because she is one of the most attractive humans on the planet. Her looks, her personality, her career are all a perfect encapsulation of what society wants people to be. And that gives her freedom. Other people successful or not have to grind. But that grind ultimately goes no where because we can never compete with her. She will always be more attractive and charming than 99.9% of the population not matter how hard they work. In the past that was ok. Because Anna could only be in one place at a time. But with social media she and those like her can be everywhere. The normals have no chance to compete. Normal people can never be as authentic because they need to try to match her image. Only the Anna's can be their authentic selves. We used to live in a world with a downside to fame. Where fame was a trap keeping people from living authentically. But this has reversed. We now live in a world where only the few with massive social power are free to live how they want. The rest of us are too addicted to our phones to be ourselves. And even if we escape momentarily no one else notices because "Anna" is everywhere.

Anyone that doesn’t think they’re flawed isn’t perfect by default. We’re all flawed and have the capacity to be awful if you catch us at the right bad time. Accepting it and working on it is perfect in and of itself, because once you think you’re perfect, you’re a narcissist and as such, flawed.

Why is it so difficult for the gullible and naive fractions to comprehend that interviews are still performances. The use or established questions approved by both sides and prepare for them.

The problem with society is that we create a false connection with celebrities and creators with a. Image of them we chose to see. We then isolate our self’s and the segregate the information we seek to substantiate that opinion. She’s horrible. Do some research.

@@msjkramey I think there's an argument to be made that if you do something for fun at least some of the time, you really love it. Nothing wrong with doing it for a career, though, and I'm sure once you do it as your career, you can get burned out doing it in your free time, too. I come from a software engineering background and this is something they look for in hiring sometimes. Employers want to see that you've done projects in your spare time. It's unfair in a way because if you do it for a living, you don't always want to do it at home - but it does demonstrate a passion for it if you are choosing to do your own projects in your off time. That is, until they make it an expectation for hiring. Then it just becomes another chore you have to do as part of your job.

[@adventuresofafirst-timemum9772]

💯💯💯

[@c0ldas1ce_]

This. She wishes to be that funny and smart as Ana

[@Karan-Aujla]

Is this anti Blake Lively rhetoric a new thing? I've always thought that she was someone well liked by the hoi polloi

[@whatever3145]

I dont like most of her main movies, but after watching her in interviews i really like her.

[@ChrisS-oo6fl]

So you think her interviews that are also on camera with pre approved topics of discussions are a window into her her true character? That’s an adolescent and dangerous comprehension of reality. If you want to know who she or any other person is in real life you cannot go by footage from projects or interviews. Be careful though your reality might get shattered. Anna for instance is a real POS. Maybe this is a learning experience. Try searching the web for anyone who’s worked with her or met her off camera. Try tik tok or KZbin maybe. Google is free but fan and media blogs likely won’t be a great source of authentic information.

[@BeautyandtheBarista]

When I met her in the set of pitch perfect 3, I was shocked at how she interacted with the cast and crew. I didn’t understand her sense of humor yet and just thought she was being awful to people but now that I have seen her in these interviews, it makes me really like and appreciate how she is with people. She just seems so real. Like I would say and do those same things if I was comfortable with someone and here I was judging just because she is a celeb and we hold them to this other weirdly high standard lol so strange…

[@the.chronic.ironic]

have always loved her! she’s the kind of person you wish you could be best friends with. she’s just insanely likable & charming & effortlessly beautiful and cool but not in a way where you feel like jealous or intimidated but you just wanna hang out with her! she deserves all of her success & i’m genuinely happy to see how well she’s done for herself. i loved a simple favor lol. probably one of the last movies i saw in a theater pre-pandemic. those were the days. excited to see her moving into directing and trying different things and looking forward to what she does next! also side note i was weirdly excited to hear nocturne no. 2, op. 9 in e flat major in the background of this video. my university had this huge insanely beautiful library and i used to go to the upper floors and find myself a nice quiet little nook to post up in and study and read/just get away from the world and of course this was on my library playlist lol. sorry, just reminds me of how peaceful it was… miss that library. i know nobody cares and idk why i felt so compelled to share that but it’s too late now, i already typed it out. ok bye!

[@darby_asleep]

I totally get you for the side note. One of my favorite compositions EVER is Verdi's Requiem II Dies Irae, and when I heard it on a TV show the other day I totally lit up.

[@the.chronic.ironic]

@@darby_asleep I’m totally late, but THIS!! 💯💯 … what show was it??!

[@SmashBroRazz]

I had never thought about this until now, but this what I think most makes her attractive: she's fearless and she's genuine. It truly is refreshing and a joy to watch, whether it comes out in her performances, interviews, or social media posts.

[@-cassandra]

8:46 so true! I have one friend just bc of this! I see my friend some time to time not all the time, and that doesn’t mean we don’t care about each other

[@hazeyhay4864]

I love Anna Kendrick man, so relatable, and it's not just a facade

[@DamienHurts]

the more i learn about her and watch her interviews, she 's hella cool, genuine , funny, cute af, and so down to earth. Love it

[@willco5431]

Anna gets away with it because she is telling stories about her experience and not really taking a dig at the industry itself.

[@cindyhoomalu1566]

I love this! She is definitely one of my favorites, and absolutely a triple threat in Hollywood!

[@alicefreist318]

I just think she is awesome. I never expect to see actual emotional depth in "public" types, but she comes across as someone I wish I could be friends with. She's such great fun to watch!

[@portobellomushroom5764]

All the best people in Hollywood, the ones you would actually want to meet, have Anna Kendrick's soul. Seeing Robin Williams introduce her at the Oscars was almost emotional for me because he has that same soul. Ryan Reynolds and Tom Holland also come to mind

[@systemBuilder]

They are the types of people you would die to have them come over for dinner, they just have that "what a great, honest person" appeal ... adorable!

[@jackreiter7291]

She's always come off as very genuine and relatable to me in these interviews. Honestly it just made me like Anna's film performances more as a result. And that's especially true now with me winding up on the Trolls bandwagon. Never change girl.

[@chantellewillemse3724]

Reminds me of my book that I've read "Daring greatly" She is vulnerable and she does not care. ❤ She shows her all.

[@whysoserious8666]

Ryan Reynolds has a similar vibe. It’s open, playful and friendly. Never mean spirited. It’s like a conversation with a good friend.

[@MellowJelly]

3:34 you can see her being normal here and not trying so hard to seem "unique, different, quirky"

[@elenasullivan4522]

For some reason I assumed this would be a piece on something weird she did that isn't actually satire but I'm so glad it's not. She's so genuine and just a great person on screen and fun to watch. Personally, I watch Mr. Right multiple times a year. Her interviews are great, strait up, hilarious, and relatable. She made it without having to set aside who she is and we love her all the more for it.

[@10Abyss01]

I suddenly love this woman? I have seen her in movies, among other pieces, but never felt her actual self as I never got that much interested in than to see her act or sing, but this video actually showed me part of a person that I can trully relate and it's wonderful, great video, hope to see Anna someday

[@playlist9980]

I don't know. Do you love her? Why are you asking me? You tell me.

[@unownnnn]

She's hilarious and deserves it all. Nice to see people achieve such success and they're still a work in progress

[@justanotherhappyhumanist8832]

“If I have a kid, it’s just going to be a kid that your kid is going to have to fight when the water wars come.” Perfectly sums up why I’m not having kids, thank you Anna Kendrick.

[@playlist9980]

The least edgy "humanist"

[@justanotherhappyhumanist8832]

@ Thanks, I don’t try to be edgy. 😊

[@MrBiggles53]

i’ve only seen her in Scott Pilgrim versus the world, but she seems like a good actress who would pull off the roll of squirrel girl

[@kaitlyngault3987]

Was she cast? Or is that your choice? Last Marvel movie I watched was the 2nd Dr Strange. Disney + ruined it all for me.

[@KevinWarburton-tv2iy]

OMG yes please.

[@Conundrum191]

Always liked her....she's authentic, both apologetic and not apologetic depending on the situation, and in some ways she can create a comeback as if she is the female version of Ryan Reynolds. Also looks are subjective, but at least to me she's cute too, so pretty much the full package.

[@burni988]

lmao this comment reminds me of Lady Gaga's "unafraid to reference or not reference" line in that meme. I do love Anna Kendrick's authenticity also.

[@NikkoNikko98]

Can’t wait to see you blow up bro, it’s gonna be great! 🔥

[@Sunless1337]

When you're just calmly appreciating your celebrity crush and Robin Williams comes out of nowhere and you get the feels...

[@tommim4353]

THIS was a love letter, and I. AM. SOLD. ❤

[@JLR_Original]

She is authentically funny, beautiful and real. She calls things as she sees them for the most part and she can have a conversation with anyone, celebrity or average Joe just because she wants to unlike most celebrities in her position.

[@iitstre_4550]

“Baby Anna” (just her any point under 18) might be the world’s most mature child 😂😂. I love how sure of herself she’s always been

[@thedeadserv]

Her bit on the daily show's between the scenes with Trevor absolutely won me over. She's BAAAAAAASED and REEEEEAL AF and I put her on the same realness as Aubrey Plaza with her 'unrealness'.

[@Viper3220]

Authenticity is extremely attractive.

[@calebhylkema2862]

Great video! I've always noticed something exceptionally authentic about her, but couldn't quite explain it.

[@thusano2]

Anna Kendrick is the 3rd Bodega Boy and I' will protect her at all costs. she's a real one.

[@Angivel]

She's always been insanely likable, love her. Charming, funny and down to earth.....I'm realising I have a huge crush on her As I'm writing this😂

[@timmurphy9132]

I think she is just so good at presenting herself that she doesn't need any help curating her image. He mind is clearly working at high speed thinking about what she's doing and saying and how it's going over. She's entertaining all the time - putting out a level of effort that would exhaust most of us.

[@benedixtify]

Anna Kendrick is - SO - AWESOME. Watching her and Stephen Colbert fangirl over each other is so wonderful to watch.

[@Jah_LEASE_yah]

This is true for other celebrities that aren't loved as much as her. Jennifer Lawrance for example. The public is so weird about who they choose to love and who they choose to suddenly turn on for the being their authentic selves.

[@aR0ttenBANANA]

Also reminds me of Alison Brie from Community/Glow/Mad Men in terms of personality.
