Anna Kendrick: 'Clooney made me comfortable'

'Clooney made me comfortable'

Anna Kendrick has said that she found it easy to work with George Clooney despite his worldwide fame.

Both actors appear as work colleagues for a corporate downsizer in Jason Reitman's upcoming drama Up In The Air.

Speaking at a round table interview about filming her first scene for the movie, Kendrick told DS: "George makes you feel very comfortable kind of immediately.

"Even though he's one of the most famous people on the planet, I'd known him for three days, and the other people in the room I'd known for 30 seconds. So oddly he seemed like the most friendly face."

She added: "He knows how to be really charming and really put people at ease - though you can't really get over the fact that he's George Clooney.

"But the fact that he makes the effort makes you feel like it's okay to relax and it gets pretty easy after that."
