Anna Kendrick reveals her unlikely admission of forgetting her role in the iconic 'Twilight' franchise and explains how her experience differed from her co-stars.

AceShowbiz - Anna Kendrick, known for her roles in "Pitch Perfect" and "Up in the Air", recently made a startling confession: she has repeatedly forgotten that she starred in the "Twilight" franchise. In an interview on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Kendrick clarified that she did not forget the experience of making the movies but rather the overwhelming cultural phenomenon surrounding them.

"Those movies took on a life of their own, especially at the time," Kendrick said. "I found myself in business conversations talking about finding the next 'Twilight', and it struck me, 'Oh my god, I'm in that.' "

However, Kendrick's role as Jessica Stanley, a human character, shielded her from the intense scrutiny that her co-stars faced. "I was on the outside of the furor," she explained. "I didn't have to deal with the crazed fans or the intense criticism."

While Kendrick found her experience in "Twilight" to be relatively low-key, she admitted to not having fond memories of the actual filming. "I remember being cold and miserable," she recalled. "I remember my Converse being completely soaked through and feeling like, 'You know, this is a really great group of people and I'm sure that we would be friends at a different time, but I want to murder everyone.' "

"It was also kind of bonding. There was something about it like if you go through some trauma event. Like you imagine people who survive a hostage situation, and you're kind of bonded for life," she continued. Of the movie she said, "They all sort of blend into one at some point, because my whole job was to just go, like, 'This family of very pale people who we never see eating - they're really weird, right?' "\

Kendrick added that she used to wonder why her character was a "valedictorian." She explained, "She's very obviously not a good student. But they just wanted me to have something to do."
