Anna Kendrick ‘would hate’ to be overconfident

CEBU, Philippines – There are plenty of reasons to love Anna Kendrick, but perhaps the actress’ biggest draw is her relatability. Kendrick’s candid interviews, hilarious Twitter account and self-deprecating humor tend to make her feel less like an untouchable celebrity and more like the best friend we wish we had.

In Nylon’s February issue, the “Into the Woods” star told the magazine about why she would hate to be overconfident: “I think self-doubt is healthy. It pushes you, and humbles you, and I would really hate to be one of the three people in the universe who are actually well-rounded, because then you can’t relate to anybody else. Sometimes I meet people who are too confident. I’m like, ‘I don’t even like being around you. You’re boring. Get a neurosis, and then we’ll talk.”

But that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t feel comfortable in her own skin. “I was a very late bloomer,” Kendrick said. “I was the smallest in my class.” The 29-year-old said though that she’s learned to accept and embrace her body over the years.
