Anna Kendrick on dates, drinking and buying underwear

Anna Kendrick, star of the upcoming comedy Drinking Buddies (out in theaters this Friday), strips down in the September issue of GQ.

The actress then sits down to talk about her fans’ penchant for asking her for autographs when she is underwear shopping, share some dating do’s & don’ts, and more.

Anna Kendrick on being asked for autographs whilst underwear shopping:

There’s something deeply embarrassing about being approached when you’re holding knickers. And it’s happened TWICE!

…on what not to bring up on a first date:

Two subjects to never bring up on a first date are anything to do with the actual reality of yourfamily, and, you know, liver cancer and how we’ve probably all got it.

…on whether or not a guy should pay on the first date:

Paying on a first date is a tricky thing because even though it’s meaningless, if a guy doesn’t, or doesn’t offer, it suggests poor judgment more than anything else.

…on drinking:

If sex is off the table, and you’re like “Let’s try to get to know each other,” I would recommend drinking. Highly.
