Exactly how old was Anna Kendrick in each of the three Pitch Perfect movies? The Pitch Perfect trilogy is the most successful musical comedy film series of all time, with the second installment standing out as the highest-grossing single musical comedy film ever made. The franchise as a whole grossed over half a billion dollars worldwide, making it a bona fide cultural phenomenon.
Anna Kendrick leads Pitch Perfect‘s star-studded cast as Beca Mitchell, a strong-willed freshman at Barden University who joins the struggling all-female a cappella group, The Barden Bellas. The first Pitch Perfect movie follows the Bellas from the pits of failure to winning the national championship. Kendrick’s Beca returns for the next two films, leading the Bellas to victory at the World Finals in Pitch Perfect 2 before returning for their final post-college adventure in Pitch Perfect 3. The series takes place over a period of about six years and was filmed over a similar period of time.
Anna Kendrick Was 26 Years Old In Pitch Perfect
Pitch Perfect finished filming in December 2011, at which point Anna Kendrick had recently turned 26 years old. By the time Pitch Perfect was released in September 2012, she was 27 years old. As for the age of Kendrick’s character in Pitch Perfect, Beca is a college freshman who just graduated from high school, placing her at about 18 years old. Kendrick was obviously several years older than that, though she was easily able to pas for a college student fresh out of high school in the movie.
Anna Kendrick Was 28 Years Old In Pitch Perfect 2
Production on Pitch Perfect 2 began in early 2014, which means Anna Kendrick was 28 years old when they began working on the sequel. Pitch Perfect 2 came out in May 2015 when the actress was 29 years old. Pitch Perfect 2 takes place 3 years after the original Pitch Perfect, and Kendrick was 2 years older when filming the sequel. As a result, Kendrick continued to look feasible age in the role, despite being nearly 30 years old and still playing a college-age character. Kendrick was part of a month-long a cappella boot camp before beginning filming, as she was before filming Pitch Perfect.
Anna Kendrick Was 31 Years Old In Pitch Perfect 3
Anna Kendrick was 31 years old when making Pitch Perfect 3, which began shooting in January 2017. When the film was released at the end of the year, Kendrick was 32 years old by that point. Pitch Perfect 3 is set two years after Pitch Perfect 2, with its characters now living the post-college phase of their 20s. Again, the aging of Anna Kendrick and the rest of the cast lines up roughly with the amount of time that has passed in the story. This allows Kendrick and the others to continue looking somewhat close to their proper ages for their characters in the Pitch Perfect trilogy.
