Anna Kendrick is "not really interested" in doing a nude scene

From Digital Spy

Anna Kendrick has admitted she is "not really interested" in doing nude scenes in her work.

The Pitch Perfect star will debut in HBO Max anthology series Love Life this week, which coincides with the streaming platform's launch.

The show's first season follows Kendrick's character, Darby, from her first love to her last, and as such involves some intimate scenes.

"When we started filming, it dawned on me that in every single episode I was going to be doing a kissing scene or a sex scene with someone brand new," she explained the Sydney Morning Herald.

"It was definitely weird to know that we were going to meet and within a week we were going to be in bed pretending to have sex!"

However, Kendrick has given her thoughts on doing nude scenes, explaining that she draws the line at simulated sex.

"My personal feelings on nudity – that I'm not really interested in nudity for me – stayed the same," she continued. "I've never had a problem with simulated sex scenes – that feels like it's about the character, whereas I only get one body, so nudity is more about me."

As well as Love Life, Kendrick is also keeping busy with upcoming TV series Dummy, in which she plays a walking, talking sex doll.

Speaking about the movie, she joked: "That gave me a new appreciation for people who are owners of sex dolls because it turns out that a sex doll is really heavy lifting, so there's a certain level of commitment."
