Anna Kendrick Breaks Down Her Career, from 'Pitch Perfect' to 'Twilight' | Vanity Fair - Zábava
every project she’s done: great experience, loved it, a dream
twilight: hostage situation
LMAO
idk, I disliked the movies too (I only saw the first two though), even when I was in the right age, but I also dislike how every single actor is following the hype of trashtalking those movies now. I mean, they knew exactly what they were getting into and they were happy to take the money and fame they got out of it. Talking about how bad and embarrassing that movie is now in order to please their audience and be considered a serious actor doesn't make them seem very likeable or professional to me
Marie Christine she was saying filming was miserable because of the weather... that’s fair?
@@forensikarie Chill, it was the weather,
Marie Christine They’re not trash talking, they’re joking. I’m sure they all appreciate the opportunity they had
love how she refers to acting on twilight as a hostage situation
Yeah, she literally used the word trauma
She's like me ..she hates cold weather I could relate 🤣🤣
i was about to comment this lol
I love her she’s so funny but the lighting is so bad! You can barely see her.
@@dergaamolka9374 I grew up in the same town where they filmed Bella's house and the main-street stuff. It's not as cold as you'd think. Living in Minnesota now, I miss those warmer Oregon days.
I didn't peg her as the mean girl in Twilight, she was more the neglected girl there cause everyone were just focused on Bella
In the book she’s more the mean girl type less so than the film.
Calixsta Cooper agree
Same
Read the book. Jessica was mean & spiteful on the inside but nice on the outside. All in all, a mean girl
Sarah Tobore
You mean the one in Edwards POV?
Every time i see this lady she hasn’t aged one day.. its weird.
She's immortal like Betty White. Her and Betty should do a movie together with Sandra Bullock
She looks like a 20 year old
@@LL-tc9ny She has ALWAYS looked at least a few years younger than she was.
@@Igzy_Izby oof
@@ollieno971 Well it was a thought. Besides maybe Betty's not really dead, she might be hanging with Elvis. 🤣
I can’t believe that she actually was the one who suggested the idea of the cup song for Becca’s audition, and it wasn’t written into the script. Can you imagine if she never brought it up, and they never put it into the movie?! That song was so iconic, I remember everyone at my middle school practicing the cup song all the time lol
i was just thinking that when i got to that part! LOL she made a whole generation of kids learn the cup song
Maylee So she didn’t claim to have come up with the song. It was suggested but due to popularity people think she created it. Similar how people thought “I will always love” was originally by Whitney Houston when it was actually by Dolly Parton.
effel ikr! I remember it being played all around school. Was definitely iconic!
Yeh same but I could never get it. It just looked and sounded like I was just throwing the cup at a wall lmfao
Same, we had a few music lessons to learn the song.
Anna kendrick complaining about twilight and being visibly confused about her character is kinda amazing lmao
It’s kinda cute actually
Nobody hates twilight as much as people who were in it. Especially R. Pat
@@khuslenzayats5272 don't mention twilight to pat, he'll murder you lmao
@@khuslenzayats5272 Gosh 😂😂😂😂
Who hasn't complained about Twilight?
For someone who claims to be the opposite of optimistic, she radiates so much wholesomeness + positivity + sunshine. I enjoyed every bit of this.
i was thinking the same things!!!
i hear that in real life she’s actually really difficult to get along with
She actually had a not really nice attitude in an interview.
The interviewer asked her and other actress if they can sing a song of the film (or something like that) and she said:
"No, we are not your monkeys"
lol ppl make the exact same assumptions about me, especially since I’m blonde and ADHD and chatty. To them, my smiles aren’t sardonic, my voice sounds too happy and “girly” to be sarcastic, and I am a great conversationalist bc I have severe anxiety and am the oldest child of divorced parents, so I hate awkward silences. However, it’s saved my life a few times. I’m constantly underestimated and it’s always assumed I’m sweet and innocent and harmless. That reputation goes a loooong way when you need to get revenge or something. My actual friends know I am anxious, pessimistic, bitter, jaded, and pretty much a lost cause. lol
@@Miss_Camel you are the definition of toxic.
Her summing up her character in twilight: “again I was just like oh these people are so weird”
Also, she didn’t give herself enough credit for her Twilight performances, because she was 90% of the comedic relief in all of those movies! All of her lines and the way she delivered them were so funny
Yeah her lines were always the most memorable to me!
“movie night with Bella”
Erin Hahahaha
*referring to Edward* "apparently, no one here is good enough for him...seriously, don't waste your time..."
It was painful
The whole Twilight section made me cackle, it was so honest.
I know right lmao
Ikrrrrr
I LOVE HOW SHE DID THE TWILIGHT MOVIE AUDITION FOR FUN BUT THEY DECIDED TO DRAG HER THROUGH ALL OF THE MOVIES I-
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m a non-native English speaker and her pronunciation is soo articulate, she makes every interview so easy to understand. Loved her so much in Pitch Perfect too !!!
I’ve noticed the same thing!
Did anyone else think she was wearing a dress but then saw her cross her legs and saw she was wearing jeans
YESSS jajaja
I need to see her standing now
I kept thinking "that's a nice dress" the whole time hahah I think it's the neckline
time mark? bc i was just listening to it :)) oh nevermind i found it, i really thought that it was a dress
THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
@@lanabeijl can you please give the time stamp?
Anna giving Kristen props for her acting after years of people bashing her is another notch in the 'Kristen Stewart Redemption Arc' that I love to see
But I don’t think Anna has ever criticized Kristen’s acting, tho. She has criticized Twilight as whole but never went for Kristen personally
Uh hello-
Lexathorn she has always given Kstew props. Good for her.
Delusional 😬🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kristens acting was fine, Bella is just a blank faced character, and you could easily blame the director and writers for that
Anna Kendrick’s hair, are you blonde, brunette or green?
Anna Kendrick’s hair: Yes
@@amarramdhan2682 Lmao right-
@@ravenn532 this pleases me.
@@amarramdhan2682 pretty sure just brown. it's the lightning making it look all those colors.
@Nikola Iannis The ends feel like it has a bit green tinge, it could just be the reflective light.
its a khaki blonde with grown in roots btw
why doesn’t she accept that she is just SO TALENTED HAHAHA
She’s so professional and poised yet still very fun and bubbly,she’s such a good role model
It's intimidating
A good role model? Dude. No. Go do some research on her.
Now don't get me wrong I love Anna bit she definitely isn't a good role model
BeowulfDude what has she done??
@@nochublast fr, I'm like come in with the receipts. Like nobody's perfect
Listening to her talk about her experiences is unlike any other actors, it's like she's legitimately talking to you and educating you on her step by step through the industry not just listing off notes she's made mentally to say.
💯
"i just remember being so cold and miserable in portland" dude, Anna wouldve been the perfect bella lmaooo
I am shocked at how wonderful a person she seems. She so openly and genuinely talked about the process of movie making. This interview made me want to watch all of her movies.
JennyLS also check out her book, Scrappy Little Nobody. She narrates the audio and is hilarious
I literally love her so much. There’s an interview she did with Brittany Snow and you can tell she has so much fun chaotic energy. I love it when actors are kind of down to earth and quirky irl
I think she would make a great voice for Amy Rose in Sonic 2. ♡ She'd be very good 👍
Me as well!
Could relate when she said, "Rain dries the wet out of you", well said.
After seeing what happened to Lea Michele over the past few days, I can't help but compare hers and Anna Kendrick's paths .. both started out as successful theatre kids but the progression of their careers and life ... Lea wishes she had a tenth of an ounce of Kendrick's success and "unproblematicness"
@@TiannNChong Are you referring to her issues on Twitter?
@@choummalys1860 yup.
Tiann N. Chong what’d lea Michelle do?
@@silvias7319 shes getting bashed by previous co workers for bullyig
Anna is such a class act. She just did a break down of basically her entire career and spent nearly the entire video just complimenting other people. I am such a huge fan of hers.
"I want to murder everyone"
"But it was also bonding!"
I would too of the production of the most hated movie dragged me through all the way to final movie even though its just a minor character
This describes spending time with my family
her posture is so good i thought she was standing
where do we see her sitting? i think i missed it
Ada 22:03
punsiella thanks 😊
Theater training
yeh same lmfao and i thought she was wearing a dress but she wasnt lmao
She's 34?? She still looks like she's in her early 20s.
I know!!! I think it’s because she’s so petite and her sweet voice, she’s eternally 22. :)
my mum said that alot of americans look older when they young and then as they get middle aged they look like the 20 still lmao
I’m her age and people think I’m 16.
@@Nazaba09 well im in my 80s but people always thought im 19 or sometin'
Darel Farros K. XD
I wish they had touched on her role in What to Expect When You’re Expecting. As a woman who has lost a baby it would have been interesting to see what that role showed her. It was such an important part of that movie❤️
Agreed
1. She is 100% one of my fav actresses.
2. She is so intelligent.
3. She is wearing a dress *sees jeans* That is one fancy shirt.
WHY DOES NO ONE GET HER TO TALK ABOUT THE LAST FIVE YEARS
Omigod that movie was so sad!!!
Such amazing performances of both of them.
I cried the first time I listened to her recording of See Im Smiling. This movie deserves all the love.
The Last Five Years is the only reason I clicked on this video.
Came to say the exact same thing.
talking about the twilight saga: “what did i even do in the third movie? oh yeah-“ lmao bye
The fact she went in for a couple of weeks compared to the others but still knocked out the speech, awesome man.
im the 1k like :DD
Lmao-
Being able to call Justin Timberlake “JT” is a flex for sure.
I’m normally not a people person, nor am I a positive people person- but Anna Kendrick is so darn kind and cute and hilarious and determined that she grows on ya. Big fan.
Anna Kendrick is like that one fine teacher that EVERYONE likes
Wow that hits
Anna is one of my favourite actresses
ENGLISH* teacher, to be more specific.
She also looks like Tina Fey
True
She just improved the cup song and started a middle school girl revolution
She really doesn’t age
She's a young Betty White. They're both immortal and age extremely slowly.
You know, trying to get people to forget that he’s *internationalmoviestargeorgeclooney*
I've seen a lot of these videos with actors that have a larger filmography than Anna Kendrick and the video is less than 15 minutes because they're just trying to do the "press" they have to and don't really want to be there. Anna is different, she's not just putting genuine effort in but going deeper into her honest opinions on the movie and the creative process. Props to her.
Not one... literally ONE! actor has ever acted like that here
Honestly, going on an Anna Kendrick movie bing tomorrow after cleaning. Period.
SAME
I'm going on an Anna Kendrick movie google too.
You should watch Mr. Right if you haven't already! It's a spy romcom with her and it's really funny 🤣
MusicFreak M2M definitely on the list 😭
how did the binge go?
I loved how she gave all these little stories behind the movies and reflected on the team effort that made those movies great. Awesome!
She's my absolute favorite modern actress and I dont think I ever realized how ridiculously blue her eyes are.
I swear she's just an actual Disney Princess walking among the mortals who decided to showcase her talents in film.
Does it bother anyone else that they go out of order/skip movies/ and didn’t put a lot of movies in??
It's probably mostly due to time constraints.
Cleodel yeah that’s probably the case. I just can’t stand that they put them on the timeline and then skip over them. Like cmon just leave them out lol
Yes I wanted to see her talk about Mr. Right, I loved that movie! Also, Noelle.
Yes, I really don’t like that they do that
@@hotsocks22 I expected Mr. Right and The Accountant.
Why do I feel like Anna Kendrick never grows old..?? like how tf.
Sammee. I wouldn't be able to tell the different years she did the movies because she looks the same in all. Lol
Same
maybe she was bitten ... u know
@@kodalemo 😂😂
I love the way she talks about her experience and how she always ties it to another person and she loves all of them and is so generous about how great those people are but also so generous toward her younger self? I don't think I've ever seen an interview of a famous person that made me like them this much omg
With every role, she manages to pay tribute to her co-stars. Class act!!
I love how she gave Kristen Stewart a shout out for her performance in Twilight and saying how underrated it is.
Also shouting out all her co-stars and Jennifer Aniston :)
You are oddly beautiful. 😳
She's really a humble person
Yes the Kristin comment was very generous given Bella's infamous lack of expressable emotion.
Jennifer Aniston's performance in that film was really as amazing as Anna describes it
@@louiseevans3510 Still stuck in the twilight era, are we, Louise?
The fact that everyone is commenting about the last five years not being mentioned makes my theatre heart happy to know that i'm not alone in my musical obsession. But seriously Vanity Fair? not even a mention of it!
Yes!! Why! it's not even in the pan out of the timeline they show at the end :(
I love
that one.. it still hits me hard
IT MAKES ME SO SAD THAT THEY DIDN"T PUT IT IN
I know right, they don't give it credits
keira oh yeah I knew they forgot something
Absolutely adore Anna Kendrick. I actually watched this video to hear her talk about one of my all-time favourite films... Mr Right (2015). Sadly, it isn't even featured on the timeline. For anybody who hasn't seen it, the film also stars Sam Rockwell and they are incredible together. Such a fantastic film!
She's obviously a wonderful person - she is so so generous and grateful and complementary of people she's worked alongside. What a queen.
It’s only after watching this that I realise in just how many movies she gives great performances. One movie I always turn to if I’m in need of a weird comedy is Mr Right and she’s brilliant in it
She’s definitely a t-rex in that movie
Mr. Right is fantastic!! Very underrated movie
Maura Van Heghe I love that movie
Love that movie, kinda sad they didn't talk about it!
Definitely a repeat feel good movie for me.
A.K movies that's not included on the timeline:
*ParaNorman
*What to Expect When You're Expecting
*The Last Five Years
*The Voices
*Mr. Right
*End of Watch
*Happy Christmas
*Table 19
*The Accountant
*Get A Job
*The Hollars
*Noelle
*Rapture - Palooza
*Elsewhere
*The Day Shall Come
*Mike and Dave need Wedding Dates
*AND MANY MOREEEEEEE! SO PART2 PLS HSHSHS
WHY NOT THE LAST 5 YEARS😭
End of Watch
Also Mike and Dave need weddings dates totally agree need a part 2!!
Yea the accountant should have been on this list
@@jdorffer Also that Ryan Reynolds movie "The Voices".
Retitle this "Anna Kendrick complimenting all her costars for 30 minutes"
Part of charisma
Lets just give a second to the people who HAVENT seen Scott pilgrim vs the world.
THAT IS LIKE THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME
I haven't seen it
@@mochwoch2658 Reading this makes me want to see it now, thanks :)
I haven’t seen it but all my friends tell me it’s one of the greatest movies ever made
I haven't had the right motivation to watch the movie. I might watch it someday.
I absolutely love Anna Kendrick, she’s so underrated. But why do they not mention the Last 5 Years! She was amazing in it and brought such a likable quality to Cathy! AUGGHHH!!!
I was wondering the same thing!! I love that movie and she does such an amazing job!
Literally, my favorite movie that she had made!!!!
I was waiting for this one!!!!!
I WAS WAITING FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS FOR THIS WHOLE VIDEO!!!
They didn't mention HALF the stuff she's done -- including SEVERAL films where she was the lead! And yet, they talk about every one of the Twilight films, where she's a supporting role. Ridiculous.
Love the fact that whole pitch perfect cast are best friends even 8 years later. That's what makes these movies special cause you know it's not acting, it's a real life friendship
1) I could listen to Anna talk all day.
2) Seems there's a few movies I've missed. Time to watch some stuff.
That's usually how it goes
I dont know why, but this was one of the most interesting and legit interviews of an actor/actress that i've ever seen. Simply love anna kendrick
Swear to God, she’s a Disney Princess come to life
She is, right? She is Cinderella in Into the Woods
Ryan Brown yesssss
@@melanielussier862 So does almost or all of the disney princesses
Gosh*
Ryan Brown without the Disney cursing filter
I look back and now realize how iconic Pitch Perfect was. Every song was so rememberable and everyone loved it.
her performances in into the woods, a simple favor and love life are soooo criminally underrated
Anna Kendrick and Kristen Bell always bring such great energy to whatever they do.
They're very similar people
I love that she can’t stop talking about her co-stars... such a down to earth lady.
Why the heck did they not include the last 5 years with Jeremy Jordan That's my favorite
the black cat that’s exactly what I was thinking. I’m very upset that they excluded it. The last five years is one of my favorite musicals and I really wanted to hear her talk about her experiences on set.
@@tinytaneal8480 especially getting drunk with Jeremy Jordan hahaha
Yess!!her version of 'a part of that' still gives me the chills
Underrated, but such a wonderful movie
I was waiting for her to talk about it!
So we’re going to act like the last 5 years doesn’t exist? Choices.
I was so disappointed they didn’t show that one !
straight up offended they didn't include it! she kills as Cathy
Right?
so as The Hollars
My favourite thing she’ll ever do without a doubt
she literally radiates good vibes and the way she’s always giving credit to the crews she works with is amazing
we're just gonna pretend that she wasn't on Broadway as a child...?
Anna Kendrick is honestly one of the best actors today
Ella es una chica maravillosa
Sebastian Chirinos si la amo
@@lillianadodson6879 estoy enamorada de esa chica
Seeing the first pitch perfect in theaters was one of the best theater experiences I’ve ever had. My friend asked me to come along to see it, and because I knew nothing about it except that it was a singing movie, I didn’t think it would be that great. I had never laughed that hard during a movie, and being in a theater packed with people on a Friday night made it even better. That makes me miss going out to theaters now during the age of COVID. Can’t wait to be back with people watching movies (safely).
I love how at 3:09 she says her and Mae weren’t gonna get play the mean girl role, yet she got the twilight one and Mae got Amity in Owl house several years later lol
Her experience with the terrifying kiss in Drinking Buddies is exactly why Intimacy Direction is a thing now.
Oh what is intimacy direction?
It’s this: thisstage.la/2019/09/intimacy-direction/
@@alicebrazier thank you
It's disappointing that she had such a weird experience. I really like that movie.
THANK GOD FOR INTIMACY DIRECTION, we had a really smart woman come in for this play I did and I think it would’ve been a really troubling time if she didn’t make everything feel so safe
Anna is an example of why we shouldn't discredit ourselves... Everytime she thought she did terrible, she got the part!
We need to believe and trust in ourselves more 🙌🏼
Well done Anna to all the success you've created for yourself ❤️
Am I the only one who thinks Anna Kendrick looks like a younger Tina Fey? They should play sisters in a movie some day.
Wow. Now I can’t unsee that.
Anna: Kristen's reaction to that speech is what is moving you
Kristen's reaction: 👁️👄👁️
Ok am i the only one who thought she was standing up the entire time wearing a dress until she crossed her legs so you see her jeans????😂. Edit: tysm for 2.7k likes🥰🥰🥰
Yeah me too
same! speaks to her posture! she’s sitting so properly
She is a whee one
Omg yesss
Time stamp pls?
They forgot "what to expect when you're expecting" and "last 5 years"
What to expect is so underrated oml
@@carolinemay1313 it is oml
And Mr Right too!
And Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, the movie she did with Zac Efron and Adam DeVine
and Table 19!
This was probably my favorite one of these. It was long form and interesting. Nothing felt glossed over, there wasn’t too much detail. It was just fun and informative!
I had the same feelings when I saw A Simple Favor. I was like “is this a drama/mystery or a comedy?” Either way it was a brilliant movie and one of her best!
The audio sounds like they filmed this with an iPhone in a restroom.
It probably was. Have you not seen a few others. With social distancing they arent bringing them into the studios
LMAOOOOOOOOO I love this 🤣🤣🤣
I-
anna kendrick: queen of underestimating herself
Really didn't realize how blue her eyes were. She's an awesome actor!
my favourite anna kendrick moment is when she tweeted "I forgot I was in twilight"
She is honestly so underrated. She is absolutely amazing
They missed out so many great films. Unforgivable.
Unforgivable, no that's forgivable what's not forgivable mooning someone down a one way street while trying to breakdance. 🤣
The fact that they go out of order really triggers my anxiety lolll
Omg yesss.
YES
“Camp” will forever be in my top faves, just for sentimental value alone, but it’s also such a great film!!! I want more people to talk about it, AND TO WATCH THE MUSICALS REFERENCED IN IT!!
Such An Underrated Movie/Musical 😩 Definitely One of My Top Faves 🥰❤️
Anna is talented, smart, very down to earth and of course gorgeous. She's a little nerdy but that just makes her more adorable.
She's been in so many great movies that she talked for half an hour and still we're here complaining why she didn't include more
I love that she's friends with mae whitman. I love them both SO much.
Same!!!!
she is shining with passion! i love Anna so much, she looks like she has such a likeable personality. like anyone could get along with her. and her humor is one of my favorites!
Her eyes are so vivid and intense 😍
Man, the first thing I saw her in was Twilight and she stole every scene. She's also super entertaining in every interview. I just love her quirky, self-degrading humor.
Woah, she’s so charming and interesting to listen to. The way she describes how she felt on set of all these different genres of films made me feel like I was experiencing those thoughts with her. Truly incredible. Also, Twilight did seem like a hostage situation for us too Anna.
Been in love with her ever since Pitch Perfect. She was absolutely fantastic in Stowaway!
Love life was the greatest experience I’ve ever had. I can’t call it a show. It was so moving!!!!
Feel like this video needs a part two wow she's been in so many movies
Yes i agree!!!
Yeah, like mentioning all the other movies she missed or didn't think to mention.
I'd subscribe to "All notifications" for a part 2 of this video!
I thought she was wearing a dress until 22:04 and then I was like “oh wait what?”
Shocker! Jeans 👖
Now I wanna she what shoes she paired with it.
i didnt even click
same lol
lol same
Same hahaha waited for this comment.-.
This is so brilliant that each time she tells an anecdote, tells about the situation, the experience related to this film with the role she was discussing at the moment. This is really great!
The cup song alone is bigger than the franchise itself. It was so iconic that even people who never heard of the movie knew the song or at least the cup trend, like it was THAT big. Anna including them in the film is brilliant
Funny enough you mentioned it, Spotify decided to play it on my varied song list. It's so short but it's a single out there!
If we're discussing her career, why aren't we discussing her Broadway career as well unless this is strictly her film career.
Pretty sure it’s just her film career
@@DiscoInfernal999 if so, then the title of the video would say film career instead of her career. They should word it better since they're missing a huge chunk of her career before she started doing movies.
But at the end they talked about her two recent TV shows
@@MiaLaFornara that’s the name of the series
I’ve never realized how much she sounds like Kristen Bell.
I agree with you she does
Ok YES!
OH MY GODD didn’t realise till now 😂
Randomblina i was thinking the exact same thing. Their voices AND the way they talk!
She really does and idk why but a little Emma Roberts too
She is so great. I loved her autobiography as well. Listening to her narrate her career is just so fun because she's so bright and real and relatable throughout.
Wow, Little Mrs. Kendrick. You are a breath of fresh air. No wonder you are loved!!! The entire breakdown I was just smiles, smiles, smiles. 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
I didn’t realize that her character in twilight was supposed to be a mean girl! 😂
yea same
She seemed like the sarcastic idgaf character to me
I thought she was just a jealous slightly insecure bubbly girl
No one did
Her character is the most confusing character I have ever witnessed in a movie
