Anna Kendrick Cracked Obama Up By Calling Him An Asshole To His Face

The extremely delightful Anna Kendrick is currently hitting up the talk show circuit to promote her new film A Simple Favour, and she recently hit up The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to tell a wild story about the time she called Barack Obama an asshole to his face.

The incident occurred in 2012, when the actress was invited to a campaign event in Los Angeles. On seeing Anna Kendrick in the audience, he singled her out, saying that her movie Up In The Air was one of his favourites, and had something interesting to say about the subject of unemployment.

Later, when they met one on one, Obama apologised if he’d embarrassed her in front of the audience, which is when the first of several “assholes” came tumbling out. We’ll let her tell the rest for herself – the story kicks off at around the 2:50 mark in the below video.

A Simple Favour, based on the novel by Darvey Bell, stars Kendrick as a suburban single mother who become caught up in the glamorous and mysterious world of her new friend, played by Blake LivelyPaul Feig of Bridesmaids and Freaks and Geeks directed.
