Anna Kendrick is not known for keeping her mouth shut. Since bursting onto the pop culture scene as the headstrong, cup-wielding Beca in "Pitch Perfect," she has spoken out about everything from LGBT rights to body image.
But Kendrick may not see herself in the same outspoken light as we do. While promoting the upcoming release of "Pitch Perfect 3," Kendrick admitted to Elle that she hates confrontation: "I'm either way too meek, or I explode and get really emotional." She even said playing Beca "is a little bit of wish fulfillment," since her popular character knows how to stand up for herself.
But her character may be rubbing off on her. In the interview with Elle, Kendrick said she even dumped a now-ex-boyfriend who didn't respect her boundaries. She told the publication:
"I was dating a guy. He tickled me playfully, and I said, 'I know that's cute and that people do it, but I really don't like being tickled. It really makes me feel trapped and panicked. I know it's silly and funny for most people, but I really hate it, so could you please not?' He thought that it was really dumb that I had a problem with being tickled and did it anyway. I broke up with him. And I knew that in the retelling of that story, I would be some crazy girl. You never want to be labeled ?the crazy girl?.... That he would tell his friends, 'Oh, she broke up with me, because I tickled her. What a psycho.' I just had to go, 'No, I broke up with you because I told you something was important to me, and you didn't respect that.'"
