Anna Kendrick: Listen To George Clooney, He Played A Doctor on TV
Anna Kendrick shows off her multi-tasking skills as she goes through security at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon (November 23).
The 24-year-old actress chatted about her first day on the set of Up In The Air with the LA Times. Anna shared, “”I spent every day from the moment I won the part sure I was about to be fired,” she says. “First it was the costume fitting, then the camera test, and then the table read. Each day was the day I knew they would realize they actually wanted Evan Rachel Wood.”
She continued, “Then the first day on set, I showed up with a cold and I thought no one would like me because I’m the girl who showed up sick, and George [Clooney] told me to have chicken soup and to listen to him because he had played a doctor on TV. And I thought, ‘It will all be all right.’ [Within a few days,] he called me short, I called him old, and that was the foundation that set the tone just to kid around with each other.”
Up In The Air hits theaters on Christmas Day, December 25th.
