Anna Kendrick Isn't Pretending

Anna Kendrick's talent has given rise to one of the most organic careers that Hollywood has seen in recent years. Despite rampant nepotism and competition, she's been able to shape a long-term, successful career in an industry where it's extremely difficult simply finding stable work. Let's dive into what makes her approach so unique.

[@djbronzed]

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. It’s so different from what she portrays that I think it’s possible because celebs are there to keep an image they have curated. I’m glad to see some good stores about her.

It's probably better that her role was small in Twilight. She had just enough exposure to be looked at for other projects without being typecast or too linked to those movies. She's probably the biggest star to come out of that franchise.

I’ve always liked her in her movies that I’ve seen, but I’ll always click on an interview with her. Her authenticity in interviews is so refreshing compared to most Hollywood stars.

[@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.

[@karinalumen9722]

I disagree, i think celebrities are very authentic, they are as authentic as “regular people” after all they are regular people just famous. Authenticness is excepted and like by the masses. Many other celebrities “authenticity” isnt one that is like/ excepted as “relatable”. And we are currently obsessed with making sure our celebrities are relatable to everyone, which isn’t possible

[@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.

[@aeong_bread]

she just seems real asf. good for her for making it in an industry that prioritizes inauthenticity. she was legit as a kid and legit as an adult, i like her a lot.

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.

I perused her Twitter and was surprised at how witty and relatable she is. I like her sense of humor. "Sometimes the only reason I leave my house is so when someone asks about my day I don’t have to say, 'Netflix and avoiding responsibilities.'" "It's cute how I used to think this 'barely-holding-it-together' feeling was temporary." "I don’t want to say I’m misusing dry shampoo, but the can says 'shake well,' and I haven’t done anything 'well' in years." "I don't get why girls paint the 'Chanel' logo on their nails... I could tattoo it on my ass but it doesn't mean I'm fancy." "If you're not supposed to eat at night, why is there a light in the fridge?"

Anna Kendrick is just a classic Mainer. I graduated from the same high school as her but we didnt overlap. Friends of mine who did go to school with her all have said she was one of the normal play geek kids that every school has and was rarely ever at school by the time high school hit.

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

This came at the right time. I finished watching Self Reliance yesterday and it left me thinking, “Anna Kendrick always hits the nail on the head with her character portrayals.” Her delivery is top tier. Great show, highly recommend.

[@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.

[@cindyhoomalu1566]

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

[@gravyz2cute4u]

It's so refreshing to see a celebrity who seems normal and not completely out of touch. I'm so glad she continues to be her genuine self and so down to earth. Good on her!

[@mar_dma]

…I mean, didn’t a lot of people come out and say she’s one of those “don’t meet your idols in real life” cases? People say she’s awful and entitled.

[@CSFreya]

Was looking for a comment like this bc I also thought the same thing

[@kaitlyngault3987]

Never once heard that. She has actually always had a great reputation.

[@archbishopofthecrusades9579]

I’ve never heard that, but I’m also not really in the celebrity sphere anyway. I’m wary of those types of posts, anyway. Not only can literally anyone say anything they please for whatever reason, celebrities are people too. They can have bad days where they’re curt, brusque, or even rude. And if their stories are tire, we literally only have one side of the story.

[@nobodyknowsmeimsure]

​@@kaitlyngault3987Anna has been the unfortunate target of the chronically online, who will believe a handful of bad stories (one of which was disproven almost immediately, yet still gets repeated as fact), yet they fail to grasp that she has people who have worked with and for her for over a decade and have nothing but great praise for her both as an actress and a person . Before the explosion of certain gossip accounts and clout for clicks tiktok accounts in the pandemic, Anna's reputation was spotless, apart from (again) gossip bloggers trying to start feuds between female costars.

[@dickottel]

I've seen sooo many bad things about her.

[@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.

[@salmag8887]

Beautiful piece. Thank you. Let's Go, Anna!!!

[@ericpetitclerc5519]

How not to love thisperson, she is just great... And a strong woman who can talk about her past problems to help others...

[@ayanac27]

i’ve been a huge fan of anna for so long which started with pitch perfect and a few years ago i was never one to really watch a bunch of interviews of my fave celebrities but over the past 2/3 yrs i’ve gotten into that phase more and i never realized how funny and charming she is and i love that sm bc you can tell she’s genuinely an authentic person which makes her even more enjoyable especially considering how people can be in hollywood and it honestly makes me love her even more

[@erinkinsella91]

You've prolly not heard the stories from people who've met her then

[@LizziesLukas]

She's one of those supporting actress in Twilight that people might forgotten already but she ended up becoming more well known than all the other actors in the series well over a decade later

[@ivelinata]

Imagine Anna Kendrick finding this

[@whollyaligned]

Love Anna Kendrick. She's hilarious and smart and always an engaging guest. It's true when she says the more she can be herself in the limelight, the easier that is to honour herself in the day to day.

God bless you thank you so much it's beautiful@@hasanbarankrmz7102

[@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

[@Driftingsiax]

i honestly find her candidness really endearing. i love how real she is.

[@jas1049]

I’ve always really liked Anna Kendrick, in her movies and also in any interview I’ve ever seen her do.

[@calebhylkema2862]

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

[@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

[@aeterna581]

She's so intelligent, quick, sharp and yes, very genuine. And how cool must be to have such level of confidence. Just wow

[@philsarkol6443]

I have seen couple of her clips and intervieuws in numerous talkshows and she is the same Anna in every show. I like her for her looks but mostly for her brain, she is fast&funny witty and a good story teller. Never a dull moment with Anna Kendrick! Go Anna get another role in a good project...love to see ya!!

[@thusano2]

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

[@tommim4353]

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

[@kshitijoberoi1928]

Always loved her and wants to see her work more n more..!

[@wendy.j.wheeler]

I absolutely adore her! She’s her genuine self...

[@hazeyhay4864]

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

[@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.

[@samhavoc1066]

She is a breath of fresh air in a very big room of people who are very controlled in what they say because of the desire to keep projecting an image.

[@unownnnn]

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

[@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.

[@NikkoNikko98]

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

[@mamelucoderribado]

the literal love of my life

[@nonstopbg]

Her book is really genuine too. Even the title is humble af.

[@rashidareeves78]

Awww Robin Williams looked so nice ❤️‍🩹

[@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😂
