During a recent guest appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, actress Anna Kendrick revealed a surprising fact about herself – she only recently learned how to ride a bike. The conversation took an amusing turn as Kendrick shared her bike-riding escapades during a vacation with friend Rebel Wilson on an island.
Kendrick confessed that she hadn’t ridden a bike since she was 10 or 11 years old. However, on this vacation, with bikes as the main mode of transportation, she had no choice but to give it a try. With the guidance of her friend Chrissy, Kendrick attempted to ride the bike but ended up falling multiple times. Despite her difficulties, she managed to start moving forward, but couldn’t stop. Instead of admitting defeat, Kendrick and Chrissy ended up going around the entire island because she could only ride in a straight line.
Corden, intrigued by Kendrick’s experience, questioned the validity of the phrase “it’s like riding a bike,” suggesting that it should perhaps be changed to reflect the difficulty and embarrassment associated with the activity. The conversation then shifted to Kendrick’s upcoming projects, including the second season of the popular series Love Life.
In the second season, Kendrick passes the baton to William Jackson Harper from The Good Place, who takes on the lead role. Kendrick praised Harper’s performance and expressed her excitement for the new episodes. She also hinted at the possibility of future connections between characters in subsequent seasons, envisioning an interconnected universe similar to the Marvel franchise, but centered around adult dramedies.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Corden brought up dating, asking Kendrick about her experiences. Kendrick, seemingly cautious, mentioned being in a relationship but cautiously delved into a personal anecdote about a disastrous New Year’s Eve date. He recalled a day spent together that left him feeling unsure about the evening ahead. To make matters worse, the date coincidentally ended up at the same restaurant as some of her friends, leaving him in an uncomfortable predicament.
Not wanting to endure the awkward company, Kendrick texted his friend Pasha, whom he considers his “breaking case of emergency.” Pasha, despite being an hour away, immediately came to Kendrick’s rescue. Walking up to the table, Pasha declared the need for an urgent departure, allowing Kendrick to make a quick exit from the disastrous date. The actor couldn’t help but express his gratitude for his friend’s timely intervention, cementing their friendship forever.
While the episode aired recently, it showcased the lively interactions within the talk show, highlighting Anna Kendrick‘s candid and humorous stories. From her bike-riding misadventures to sharing behind-the-scenes details about Love Life, Kendrick’s appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden was undoubtedly an entertaining and engaging one.
