Anna Kendrick is no stranger to comedy.
The actress, who returns to the silver screen Friday in Joe Swanberg’s “Happy Christmas,” became a household name after her performance in 2012’s “Pitch Perfect” as Beca Mitchell, a role she will reprise in the film’s sequel next year.
She also teamed up with Swanberg for last year’s “Drinking Buddies” (a film that nabbed a three-star review from The Post) and hosted an episode of “Saturday Night Live” in April. Did you tune in to the Super Bowl? Then you probably saw her in that Newcastle Brown Ale commercial, too.
But her biggest comedic feat may be off-screen, as one of Twitter’s funniest women. Her 2.6 million followers may not make her the most followed celebrity, but racking up that kind of clout is no easy feat.
Whether she’s just stating the obvious (“I don’t get why girls paint the ‘Chanel’ symbol on their nails…I could tattoo it on my ass but it don’t mean I’m fancy.”) or being charmingly self-deprecating (“If I die unexpectedly can everyone just do the right thing and pretend I was a way better person than I am?”), her fans can’t get enough — a single tweet of hers can be favorited anywhere from 500 to 15,000 times.
Most important, her Twitter account is relatable — sparse are the tweets about private jets and red carpet events; instead, you’ll learn about her misadventures with bleach and love of peanut butter.
But don’t just take our word for it.
