Anna Kendrick Is Creeped Out By ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, Here’s Why
Actress Anna Kendrick is sounding off on what she thinks about the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer. Kendrick, whose brazen attitude has won her fans across the Internet, says that she doesn’t get Mr. Christian Grey’s appeal.
Christian Grey, played by model Jamie Dornan, is the main focus of her thoughts on the Fifty Shades adaptation. “The ’50 Shades of Grey’ dude looks just like ‘Love Actually’ kid. I feel less turned on and more like… I should call child services…”
Funny enough, Kendrick has decided to pin a tweet she made in 2013 to the top of her Twitter profile. Perhaps this is an excuse for her comments about Fifty Shades of Grey?
For someone with such an intense need to be liked you’d think I would have figured out how to be less of an asshole.

As it is, Fifty Shades of Grey might have a few problems that are bigger than Kendrick’s distaste for Jamie Dornan. According to Us Weekly, Fifty Shades had to do reshoots. Usually a film does reshoots to correct minor scenes in films, but this is a huge one. Apparently Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson had “a distinct lack of chemistry between them.” That’s huge for a film that’s supposed to center on the couple’s sizzling sex life.
According to sources, the two don’t look or feel “passionate” enough. Another source said most of the sizzle is on Johnson. “Dakota isn’t coming off sexy enough. [Anastasia Steele] needs to be naive, not a dishrag.” Some are blaming this lack of chemistry on the fact that Johnson went through a break up with her boyfriend in the middle of the shoot.
After these comments were made, Universal, the studio behind the production of the film, came out with a brief statement about the allegations that chemistry was a problem. Universal simply said, “No one should question the heat or intensity of our actors.” We’re wondering if that includes Anna Kendrick now, too? Some fans think it should.
