Anna Kendrick gives ‘shady’ response when asked about reuniting with Blake Lively

Actress Anna Kendrick appeared to be somewhat displeased when inquired about her co-star Blake Lively during the premiere of their new film Another Simple Favor, which debuted on opening night at SXSW. The actor’s reply to a question from Entertainment Tonight became viral on X (formerly Twitter), leading to numerous fans reacting to her clever remark.

When asked, “Anna, what does it mean to be working with Blake again?” the actor seemed to evade the question and in turn, replied, “Oh, you know.”

Anna’s response quickly surfaced on X where many fans wondered whether everything was all right between the two actors. A fan commented, “And this is why we will support Anna.” A second user said, “She didn’t clown Blake. She just wasn’t taking the bait. Smart on her part.” A comment read, “Classic Anna Kendrick – making interviews awkward but still being the coolest person in the room.” Another said, “Anna Kendrick really said, ‘I’m not touching that mess’ and kept it moving.”

At the premiere, Blake was spotted on the red carpet posing with her co-stars Anna Kendrick and Michele Morrone. A follow-up to A Simple Favor, which came out in 2018, this film is directed by Paul Feig and will be available on Amazon Prime Video starting May 1.
