Anna Kendrick once starred in the popular Twilight franchise alongside the likes of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
But when working with George Clooney, the Oscar-winner couldn’t help tease her about the vampire series.

Kendrick had a small role over the course of the Twilight movies as Jessica Stanley. As Jessica, she played a high school classmate of Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan. But her Twilight character wasn’t someone Kendrick was very fond of. So much so she considered Jessica an idiot. This once led to Kendrick improvising an out-of-character line for her role.
“Jessica in Twilight is an idiot, but some of the dialogue they give me is clever. One of the things I improvised in New Moon was about zombie films being self-referential; a girl like that...

Anna Kendrick is so over "clickbait." The Oscar nominee took to Twitter on Wednesday night to address her recent quotes about filming Twilight. As fans will recall, Kendrick played Jessica Stanley in the beloved series, a friend to Kristen Stewart's character Bella Swan. While reflecting on filming Twilight, Kendrick recently told Vanity Fair, "The first movie we filmed in Portland, Oregon, and I just remember being so cold and miserable. And I just remember my Converse being completely soaked through, and feeling like, 'You know, this is a really great group of people, and I'm sure that we would be friends at a different time, but I wanna murder...

While the Twilight franchise has a reputation for being infamously controversial, it’s probably safe to say that at this point, no one hates those films more than the actual cast members.
Based on Stephenie Meyer’s series of books, The Twilight Saga was hugely successful at the box office but ended up dividing cinemagoers over its artistic values. Of course, we could argue the same about the novels, which received their fair share of criticisms from the literary community as well. But when it comes to the movie industry, the stakes automatically get higher. Lead cast members Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have shown over the years that they didn’t exactly care for their time starring in the franchise and now, it seems that another one of their co-stars shares their sentiments, but not for the reason you’d think.

It might be 10 years since the first Twilight film came out, but we're still totally obsessed. A decade later, we still love learning new little tidbits about the franchise, reunions make us more excited than we'd like to admit, and Kristen Stewart admitting that she wouldn't be against a reboot nearly sent us over the edge.

Of course, Twilight would never be the same without the rest of the cast, and that includes Anna Kendrick, who played Jessica Stanley. However, it turns out that the role might not have been as memorable to the actress as it was to us. On Monday, the Pitch Perfect star sent the internet in a frenzy when she hilariously tweeted, "Holy sh*t. I just remembered I was in Twilight."
Holy shit. I just remembered I was in Twilight.
