Pitch Perfect 2 star Anna Kendrick refuses to let other people make her feel uncomfortable and insists she is just a normal girl.

Speaking to Glamour magazine, the 29-year-old Oscar-nominated star, said: 'I didn't feel I was extraordinary in terms of looks or academia. I was like, 'Well, I can take a joke and I can make one too.' I've got that going for me!

"So I leaned into that. There was a sense of, `I refuse to allow you to make me feel uncomfortable'. That carried over into adulthood. I'm not saying it's healthy. It's a defence mechanism, but it's one that serves me well.

''If I can communicate with you in my weird, broken, dark way, and if you understand me, we'll get along fine.''

Kendrick insisted she likes fans to see she is just a regular girl, adding: "It used to make me feel s****y when I read fashion mags and actresses were talking about loving Louis Vuitton and x, y, z. The idea that I could be making a girl in Maine feel ''less than'' is abhorrent.

"So it's a fine line for me. You want to look your best and celebrate the event you're at and the designer, because they're an artist too, but you also want to let a person [at home] know that there's smoke and mirrors.''
