Anna Kendrick Reflects On “Complete Fiction” George Clooney Told Her To Calm Her Nerves While Filming ‘Up In The Air’: “Such A Gift”


Anna Kendrick details the 'complete fiction' George Clooney told her to calm her nerves ahead of filming 'Up in the Air.'

UP IN THE AIR, from left: George Clooney, Anna KendrickDale Robinette/DreamWorks Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection In a recent appearance on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?, the Woman of the Hour helmer and star admitted it was“absolutely terrifying” to act alongside the Ocean’s Eleven vet.
