In a recent episode of the popular talk show, Alan Carr: Chatty Man, Hollywood star Anna Kendrick had an amusing and awkward encounter with a British accent. Known for her roles in Twilight and Pitch Perfect 2, Kendrick charmed the audience with her wit and humor.
The episode started with host Alan Carr offering Kendrick a drink from the famous globe on the show. Kendrick’s excitement was palpable as she gushed about being a fan of the show and eagerly accepted the drink. She also mentioned that she was filming another show, The One Show, later that day, emphasizing the randomness and uniqueness of British television.
Kendrick discussed her experience of filming Into the Woods in the UK, where she stayed at a small bed and breakfast. She shared a hilarious incident involving the owner of the accommodation who greeted her in a British accent. Unsure if he was joking or serious, Kendrick found herself continuing the act, fearing that he might be offended. To her surprise, she later saw the same owner on TV, realizing that he was one of the famous faces from the show Gogglebox.
The conversation then veered towards discussing British culture, with Kendrick mentioning how American Hollywood stars often have houses in the UK. However, she admitted that she didn’t own a house but stayed in a flat while filming Into the Woods. The conversation took a humorous turn as they discussed the royal baby and the obsession people have with the newborn.
Alan Carr couldn’t resist asking Kendrick about her latest film, Pitch Perfect 2, which he proclaimed was even better than the first one. Kendrick explained that the film follows the further adventures of the misfit acapella group and their relationships. Carr humorously mentioned that acapella isn’t as big in the UK as it is portrayed in the film, joking that Brits only sing during school trips or when walking back from the pub.
The chat show host also brought up Rebel Wilson’s hilarious moment at the Kennedy Center Honors, where footage showed her flashing her tantrum at the Obamas. Kendrick clarified that the footage was repurposed from the year she performed at the event, but with less glitter in her hair.
The conversation ended with Alan Carr praising Kendrick’s talent as a quadruple threat – acting, dancing, singing, and her huge following on Twitter. Kendrick replied with her usual humor, acknowledging that her tweets can sometimes be misunderstood but are meant in good fun.
Fans of Anna Kendrick and comedy enthusiasts alike will find this episode of Alan Carr: Chatty Man a delightful watch. Kendrick’s charisma and ability to charm effortlessly make her a sought-after guest on talk shows like this. Be sure to catch Pitch Perfect 2, the highly anticipated sequel, in theaters on May 15th.
