Anna Kendrick opened up about her decision not to have children. The 39-year-old actress has previously explained that she doesn’t want to become a parent. In 2016, she joked about the reasoning in an interview. More recently, she revisited the topic and called out a big difference in parenthood for men and women.

That you come home at the end of your workday, and you put down your proverbial briefcase, and you’re making yourself a cocktail, and a woman in a Laura Ashley dress is out in the yard, and there’s a couple of kids — in white! — running around. Um, ‘Where are you in that, sir,’” Anna said. She added that it “really starts to rub [her] the wrong way.” “It’s like when I hear husbands say they want to ‘help out’ with the kids. And it’s two working parents! And I always want to kind of say something, and then I’m just like, ‘Well, I’m the childless cat lady. I’m not gonna say s-it,’” she said. While Anna does not want to have children, seven of her Pitch Perfect costars are parents. Some of them even welcomed babies this year. Speaking of Pitch Perfect, Anna recently addressed calls for a fourth movie in the franchise. Is she down to play a Barden Bella again?
