Anna Kendrick is one of the most high profile actresses in the movie industry right now. But it seems all is not perfect in the world of Ms. Kendrick. Despite nabbing the cover spot on the December issue of Marie Clare, the star talks about the constant criticism sheâs been given because of her appearance. She tells the magazine, âThe most common thing that I get is, âAm I the only one who doesnât think that Anna Kendrick is pretty?â And youâre like, âNo, youâre not the only one. Arguably, all of the boys in my high school agree with you.â
The Pitch Perfect star has always been self-deprecating when it comes to her looks, even describing herself as ânot beer-commercial-babe hotâ. In an interview with Glamour magazine back in August, Kendrick talked about her image and how it doesnât affect the kind of roles sheâs been given. âThe thing is, my appearance — thatâs never been my moneymaker. Iâm fine being small. Iâm fine being all the things I am. And Iâm happy Iâm not supposed to be on the ’50 Most Beautiful’ list all the time, because that would be super fucking stressful,â she said.

Kendrick has always been known for her quirky, out-of-left-field roles, and she says that her unique take on Cinderella for the film Into the Woods is no different. âYou see what happens after she marries the prince, when you start to face problems in seemingly perfect situations,” she explains. “The interesting thing about her is she overthinks things, she’s uncertainâwe don’t see that in most versions. In a lot of ways, I think it’s this incredibly brave story. She’s neglected and abused her entire life she finally gets love and it’s not the kind of love she was looking for, and she stands up for herself.â
