15 Times Anna Kendrick Got Real AF
If you haven't heard of Anna Kendrick at this point, you're probably living under a rock. She's not only an actress, singer, and comedian, but she's also the realest celeb that has graced this world (and the Twittersphere) in a super long time. If you've never seen the Pitch Perfect star in action, well, that's a real shame. Her characters are funny, witty, and she brings them to life in just the right way. If you know her and are a loyal fan, then you know just how captivating her real-life twitter is, as well. She's unfiltered, raw, and real, which is a breath of fresh air compared to most celebs who plaster the media with their so-called perfect lives. Anna Kendrick has a way of saying what we're all thinking and being relatable and real AF. Forget all the cookie-cutter celebrity personas when it comes to Anna because she's not having any of that. Here are just a few examples of this movie star extraordinaire that make us love her even more.
15 When She Realized Who She is
Yes, Anna. We've all been here before. That moment when you finally realize who you really are and then… well, you accept the fact that you're not going to change any more in your life. We've all had these times where we take a step back and see ourselves from someone else's perspective and panic a little bit. These are the times where we can see just how crazy, weird, and even annoying we can be. Overall, though, these aren't necessarily bad moments. Truth be told, these moments help us see what we've become and they mean that we're self-aware. We know just what we're capable of and that's what can scare us the most. But most of all, we realize that no matter what happens, we are stuck with ourselves and the people we've turned into and it can be a rather… life-changing moment. Instead of realizing that you're stuck with someone else forever, you realize that you're stuck with your own attitude and personality for life!
14 When She Didn't Want to Respond
Can we all just take a moment of silence in order to appreciate how rare this tweet from Anna Kendrick is? Because let's be real, we've all been through this more times than we probably would like to admit. We get a text and choose to just ignore it for whatever reason and then that person has the audacity to ask if you even received it! Some of us will turn to them and lie through our pretty little teeth by saying, “What text? No! I never got a text from you at all.” Or we could be like Anna and tweet the fact that we're ignoring your unimportant text for the world to see. Either way, it's about to get hella awkward because now the fact that you didn't respond at all is out in the open. We all know just how annoying it can be when someone asks if you got their text when in reality, you didn't even care about it.
13 When She Went Through Real Grief
Have you ever had something really crappy happen to you and instead of going through the classic stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) you completely skip the last three and go for the dessert and alcohol? Well, Anna sees your pain and will raise you cute animal videos in order to secure the fact that her emotional state wasn't wiped clean completely. Some of us go through grief differently and in a way that works for us and Anna Kendrick knows just how we all feel. It's nice to know that even someone who has tons of hit movies and can sing like a d*mn angel still feels the need to consume copious amounts of cookie dough and alcoholic beverages. So even though she has celebs like Zac Efron at her disposal, she grieves just like the rest of us ladies in the universe. Thanks for keeping it real, Kens.
12 When She Dressed Like All of Us
If you've ever been in a clothing rut (or you're living a life of laziness and comfort), then you know the reality of being forever dressed in sweats and comfy clothes and having your friends wonder why you're so dressed up when you're just wearing somewhat “normal” clothes. Anna has so much access to the best clothes and can obviously dress to the nines whenever she wants, so it's nice to know that she, too, likes to lounge in sweats most of the time instead of being dressed in stunning gowns all the time. I think we've all been at a point in our lives where our friends wonder where we're going if we even happen to put any kind of pants on during the day… or makeup. But is that necessarily bad? Maybe you just enjoy being in comfortable clothing or you like how sweatpants look on you! Hell, why is that bad? I, along with many in the Twittersphere, see no problem with this at all. You do you, Anna!
11 When She, Too, Needed Muscular Help
For those of you who have been single for what seems like ages, you totally know just how real Anna gets in this tweet. She calls for a strong man to assist in her cooking endeavors because she lacks the muscles to get the job done herself. How many of you have felt the very same way when attempting to open a jar of pickles and indulge in all their juicy greatness? Guys are definitely useful for many things and we think the part we like the most is the fact that they can reach high things, carry the heavy stuff, and open all the difficult jars. Anna knows all of this and even put a call out for the right man to help her out. I wonder just how many people volunteered. Maybe we should all do this when we're in need of someone strong to help us out with the hard stuff. Let's be honest, we can say we're strong and confident but there are certain things that we just can't do.
10 When She Saw Beyoncé
Us too, Anna. We think by now there's really no need to explain just how influential Beyoncé is in the world we live in today, but she hit it right on the head when she posted this tweet. Yes, watching Beyoncé perform is like drinking an elixir that harnesses the power of a thousand suns and has the power to add years to your lifespan. If you haven't yet realized this, there may be no hope for you. Anna Kendrick knows just how this magic works and felt the need to tell the world about it. Yes Anna, we know just how incredibly amazing Beyoncé is and we appreciate the fact that someone else with such an amazing voice and musical talent can recognize and acknowledge this as well. If you haven't had the experience of witnessing and being draped with Beyoncé's magical voice during a performance of hers, change that ASAP.
9 When She Devoured Ice Cream Like the Rest of Us
We can definitely all relate to this on such a real level. How many of you have ordered takeout or any other form of food and intended to eat all three orders of everything yourself only to have the delivery driver or waitress give you more than one set of silverware? Or even more than one fortune cookie from ordering Chinese food like you have someone else to give a fortune to? We're sure most of you can relate to this just as Anna Kendrick can. With a world so focused on public figures and celebrities having the best bodies and looking perfect, it's refreshing to know that someone with Anna's status can be real AF about digging into two tubs of ice cream all on her lonesome. Way to go, Anna. Way to go. Let this be the security we all need to go out there and order two tubs of ice cream without feeling ashamed.
8 When She Was Not Okay With Oreos
If you haven't yet heard or seen, Oreo has come out with a new cookie that is thinner than all the rest in an attempt to make them “leaner” for those looking to enjoy a dessert without feeling guilty about it. Apparently, Anna is definitely angered with the change in direction Oreo has been taking - as are the rest of us! Oreo THINS? Where is the triple stuffing we all crave so much? Hell, some of us are even taking off two cookie tops and putting two double stuffed cookies together to get DOUBLE the double stuffing! And Oreo is taking the stuffing OUT? HOW COULD THEY! I think Anna speaks for everyone when she says how unexcited she is for the Oreo Thins when they have yet to give the people what they really want: more cream stuffing! Let's all just appreciate how real she got with this confession.
7 When She Actually Cooked
We all need to give ourselves more praise every now and then. We put ourselves down so much when it comes to the things we do that we need to show some appreciation. The funny thing is, we usually give ourselves praise during the most unexpected times. Like when we do something that most people do every single day for themselves. It is great knowing that even Anna Kendrick gives herself praise for something as simple as cooking for herself. We think we all know how difficult it can be to actually cook a full meal - especially if you never do it on a regular basis. Anna Kendrick got real AF about how it feels when you actually cook something… edible for once! And even if you do not cook something edible, at least you tried! That counts for something, right? We think it does and Anna totally thinks, too.
6 When She Contemplated Finding a New Friend
I think we can all agree that movies are so much better than real life. However, they do make you think about real life and if you're living it to its fullest potential. In Anna Kendrick's case, she didn't know if she needed to get a new friend who suggested getting laid as a solution to her problems. We're pretty sure we've all been at a point in our lives where we looked around at our friends and thought, “Are they doing their job right?” Because honestly, if your friend isn't suggesting that you get laid or that you need to get laid in order to feel better, are they really a BFF? How do you know they're doing their job right and ensuring that you get satisfied in the ways you need in order to solve the problems in your life? Anna can relate to this perfectly and this tweet is just one example of how real she can be.
5 When She Was Single AF
We're sure at least half of you are nodding along after reading that tweet because you know exactly what she's talking about. Anna got real AF about the benefits of being in a relationship and we're not just talking about the fact that you have someone to get food with and to tell you you're pretty on the daily. Nope. We're talking about that time she defined the importance of a relationship by tweeting about just how much it sucks to watch MasterChef alone because we all know these types of shows get real when you have someone to discuss it with. Maybe you're not into Master Chef. But if you've ever had a relationship where you had a special show dedicated to watching with each other only, then you know just how real this tweet is. We, however, would actually argue that watching it's only 3% as fun. So, basically, it's miserable.
4 When Other People Made Life Hard
We know you all totally and completely get where Anna is coming from with this tweet. The girl got real AF about the fact that other people just ruin things in general. If you're anything like an introvert, then you know just what she's talking about with this and you know just how much harder life is when other people get involved. And yes, we're sure she's talking about other people, in general, doing anything at all. Because life is so much more fun and easy when you just get to kick back and worry about yourself. You don't have to deal with other people's attitudes, annoying personalities, or the fact that they get in the way of everything you want to do. And SOCIALIZING… Gross! So yes, we think we can all agree that Anna Kendrick made a perfect point in saying life would be so much easier without other people.
3 When She Was All of Us on a Monday
We have definitely all thought this, especially on Mondays… and maybe we've even thought about this on other days of the week. You know, as long as we're sharing here. You would think a celeb with Anna's status would be all about getting the day going and making sure she's being the “public figure” people assume she would be. However, she's just like the rest of us and can't seem to find the motivation to peel herself from her bed and actually get started with… life. Mondays are hard and it's somehow comforting knowing that even celebrities hate them and find them hard to live through. Thankfully, Anna knows just how it is and can relate to all of us in the world who struggle with Mondays just as much as she does. We wonder just how long you can lay in bed before getting bed sores. Mondays can suck it.
2 When Someone Had the Audacity to Actually Call Her
Remember the days when calling was the norm and you'd wait by the phone every day just to see if someone would call you? Yeah… those days are long gone and texting is the best, quickest, and least annoying form of communication. According to Anna's real AF tweet, she feels the same way. She said what we're all thinking. The second our phones ring, we have absolutely no desire to talk to the person on the other end. In fact, it thinks most of us are a little insulted that someone (other than our grandma, maybe) would have the audacity to actually call before texting. For real? Send a text and make both of our lives a little better. Plus, sending that text may ensure a response. A phone call will be ignored or answered in a very disgruntled manner. We think we can all agree that Anna Kendrick would rather hit ignore and risk a friendship than to answer the phone.
1 When She Ran Out of Booze
Do you have that one bottle of booze in your cabinet that was probably a really nice gift or was super expensive and you promised yourself you'd save it for the right occasion? Well, if you're anything like Anna, you probably cracked that baby open on a Friday night, all alone, at 7pm because you'd rather open your “special” bottle than make a run to the liquor store. She got real AF about her laziness level when it comes to getting out of the house even to just purchase a bottle of wine. You know what? That's perfectly fine because all of us have done the same thing (or will do the same thing) at some point in our lives! Hell, some of us could live a block away from the liquor store (guilty!) and still pop open that bottle of aged whiskey just to mix it with the Dr. Pepper we have sitting in the back of our fridge. No shame in our booze game. Just like Anna Kendrick.
