Anna Kendrick reveals she is a 'homebody'When Anna Kendrick isn’t bouncing around global movie sets, you can find her on her couch.
“I'm kind of a homebody. Either I'm out and working or I want to be a homebody,” the A Simple Favor 2 star tells PEOPLE during an interview promoting her new Keurig campaign.
But her precious time at home is meant for total relaxation – and that means staying out of the kitchen.
"I don't cook. I don't know how to," the Pitch Perfect star says with a laugh. “I really just don't know how to do anything useful in life.”
The Twilight alum, who is preparing to release her directorial debut, Woman of the Hour, explained that after working on a movie, all she wants to do is have a “bit of downtime.“
“Just staying put and staying in L.A., and just focusing on releasing the baby is the right thing to do,” Kendrick adds, “the baby” referring to her true-crime Netflix movie, premiering on Oct. 18.

Anna Kendrick says she used to be a takeout coffee person before Keurig“It's perfect because it's so fast and, frankly, I get to stay in my house,” she says, explaining that the machine is ideal for her culinary abilities — or lack thereof. “I would definitely go out and get coffee or even order it in, so the fact that it's just kind of foolproof is perfect.”
