Anna Kendrick discusses her decision to Forgo having children
«I don’t think I’ve ever heard a woman say that,» the actress said
Anna Kendrick is candidly discussing her position on having children.
The Pitch Perfect star, 39, has long been open and honest about her thoughts on having kids — in her 2016 bestselling memoir Scrappy Little Nobody, Kendrick shared, “Motherhood isn’t for me.»
Now, chatting with Flow Space for their story published on Wednesday, Oct. 16, the actress seems to share similar feelings as she discusses a phrase frequently used by men when discussing wanting children.
“I was thinking recently about a phrase I’ve heard men say about their desire to have children in the future, and it occurred to me: I don’t think I’ve ever heard a woman say that,» the A Simple Favor actress says.
«And the thing they’ll say is, ‘Yeah, maybe one day — a couple of kids running around.’»She continues, «I don’t think I’ve ever heard a woman say that! Because it paints a certain visual, yes?»
That «certain visual,» as Kendrick describes, is «That you come home at the end of your workday, and you put down your proverbial briefcase, and you’re making yourself a cocktail, and a woman in a Laura Ashley dress is out in the yard, and there’s a couple of kids — in white! — running around.»
