Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are currently in the midst of promoting their new film, A Simple Favor, and in addition to having fun and poking fun at Ryan Reynolds, Kendrick is spilling secrets about what exactly is was like to kiss Lively.
The former Pitch Perfect star proved to be a courteous and considerate scene partner for their intimate scene, as she wanted her breath to be as fresh as possible for Lively. “I mean, all I’m ever thinking about in [kissing] scenes is, who has gum?,” Kendrick said. “Who has a mint? And I think Blake is probably the same because I’ve never experienced a guy, searching for gum. So, we were the mintiest, freshest two people to ever have kissed in the history of America.”
In addition to sharing these secrets from the set, Kendrick also opened up about her own sexuality.
The actress revealed to PrideSource that in her personal life, she has had a few “girl crushes” and has kissed women.
“There’s somebody I’m still friends with, and when we met we kissed. This was after high school, and it was the first time I had kissed a girl where it wasn’t just like, we’re at a party and boys are watching! That horrible performance silliness. But I think I haven’t had the emotional love for a lady, which isn’t saying it could never happen to me,” she told the publication.
But Kendrick didn’t even stop there with the juicy reveals! She opened up about reading Pitch Perfect fanfiction, the alternate ending the third film could have had and the potential for one more film with the Bellas.
You probably recall that Kendrick played Beca and Brittany Snow played Chloe. The two characters had an obvious connection in the film franchise, leading many fans to speculate that the two would eventually be a couple. And while Pitch Perfect 3 didn’t end with Chloe and Beca together, Kendrick isn’t ready to close the door on that story yet. “I definitely wanted to have an ending that was a Bechloe ending, and we did shoot one version where Brittany and I tricked everybody into just shooting one that was just the two of us getting together,” she said.
“We knew it was a long shot. It meant so much to us that there was this following around their latent relationship and, yeah, I thought it would’ve been really cool if it would have ended up coming to fruition in the end. If we ever do a four, I will fight tooth and nail for it, but I’m not sure it’s gonna happen.”
Anna Kendrick has always proven to be #relatable and honest–let’s hope she continues this f-o-r-e-v-e-r!
