Anna, Unadulterated

She’s scared of dating, spends all of her money on takeaway and is as star-struck by Blake Lively as you are. Here’s why ANNA KENDRICK is your best friend - you just don’t know it yet

Anna Kendrick Is At Home Wearing Workout Gear, But Doesn’t Think She Deserves To Be Wearing It. ‘it’s Cheeky, Because I Wasn’t Really Working Out, ’She Confesses. So, What Was She Really Doing? ‘i Was Playing Trampoline Dodgeball With Kevin Hart,’ She Explains, In The Sharp, Deadpan Manner That’s Made Her Famous.

‘Do you know him, Kevin Hart, the comedian?’ she asks me unassumingly.

Uh, yeah, I know Kevin Hart the comedian. As does most of the planet.

‘Well, we were jumping around all day,’ Anna explains, clearly aware of how whack this sounds to anyone outside the bizarre stratosphere that is Hollywood.

‘It was so weird and so fun and so fricking hard. I’m definitely going to be sore tomorrow. But it didn’t really feel like working out because we were just jumping on trampolines, so I feel a bit silly being in hardcore leggings and a sports bra.’

Anna, the 33-year-old star of pretty much every movie that’s made bank at the box office in the last five years, lives in Los Angeles, where she conducts a surprisingly ‘off the grid’ existence. Somewhat unintentionally.

‘I get no cell reception in my house so I have a landline like I’m 60 years old,’ she laughs.

The daughter of an accountant and a history teacher from Maine, Anna now lives a life full of these kinds of dream-like scenarios because she’s, well, a huge star. Except for the fact she doesn’t seem like one. Instead, the former child actor offers up insights into her celebrity peers like she’s on your team and not playing for the super-famous side.

Take Blake Lively, her co-star in her latest film A Simple Favor. Anna is here to tell you that, yes, she is as insanely beautiful as she appears and, yes, your obsession with her is warranted.
