Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick’s Awkward Press Tour

BBG News

In promotional events for the movie “Another Simple Favor,” Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick appeared to display some unease or discomfort, according to an expert in non-verbal communication.

At the London special screening event on Tuesday, held at the Ham Yard Hotel, and preceded by a photo opportunity earlier in the day at the Corinthia Hotel, there were sightings of energetic 37-year-old and 39-year-old Kendrick, who have been the subject of whispers about a supposed hidden conflict. The two individuals appeared together, seemingly putting any rumors aside for the moment.

Awkward interactions during their press tour have fueled speculation of a rift between the stars.

According to body language specialist Judi James, these two actresses appear to lack harmony or coordination, as they often seem uneasy or self-conscious together during red carpet appearances. Their poses tend to be stiff and rigid, suggesting a certain discomfort in their interactions.

In reference to the pictures taken during Tuesday’s occurrences, Judi mentioned: ‘It appears that Blake puts in extra effort when it comes to portraying a cheerful and friendly demeanor.’

The expert noted that it might be due to feeling compelled to present a united front against rumors about strain in their relationship, which could explain why they appear tense, yet there’s no visible sign of warmth or camaraderie between them.

As per the expert’s explanation, when Blake is by herself, she enters a grooming or self-admiration phase. She indulges and purrs contentedly in front of the cameras, occasionally flicking her hair as a form of grooming, and flashes some proud, self-assured smiles.

As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but exclaim: ‘Her eyes sparkle radiantly, and with an uncanny flair, Lively gracefully dons that captivating, tasseled leather coat. She seems to relish every moment of the camera’s gaze.’

Judi observed that taking a photo with a fellow actor often provides an opportunity to relax and enjoy some camaraderie, given that you’ve been collaborating closely for several months.

Contrary to what seemed possible for James, it didn’t seem that height difference was an issue for Blake and Anna, as he had suggested.

‘Although Blake and Anna differ significantly in height, their interactions seem devoid of casual enjoyment or genuine camaraderie.’

or

‘Despite the height difference between them, the atmosphere surrounding Blake and Anna appears lacking in easygoing fun or natural rapport.’

Instead, she noted that their upper bodies assumed stiff-looking postures, lacking any signs of a lean inwards, gentle touches, or spontaneous movements.

They appear to be out of sync as well. Instead of embracing comfortably, their arms around each other’s shoulders seemed awkwardly positioned, more like an uncomfortable gesture than a casual hug.

Judi looked closer at certain images where it appears as if the stars were engaged in a conversation. However, an intriguing aspect is that both stars seem to speak simultaneously, as evidenced by their open mouths.

In a single stance, it appears they are performing an opera number, with their stiffened upper bodies and Anna’s mouth stretched wide as if reaching for a high note, while her eyes remain equally wide-open, seeming to gaze intently.

Earlier today, during our lively morning Q&A session, I employed an “eye-smile” while locking eyes with Anna, and expressed my enthusiasm for our discussion through animated hand gestures.

In simpler terms, when chatting with Anna earlier, I used a warm smile with my eyes to convey friendliness, and used lively hand movements to show that I was engaged in an exciting conversation.

She determined that the discomfort might stem from the need to refute subtly hinted-at rumors suggesting tension or conflict between them.

Blake confidently stepped out of her hotel, clad in a daring, tasseled leather dress without a bra, flashing a radiant smile along the way, en route to the screening.

Anna kept her head down as she strutted out of the building in a glamorous black mesh dress.

The stars are currently promoting the upcoming movie sequel Another Simple Favor.

Previously at the Corinthia Hotel, it appeared that Blake and Anna might have been having a heated discussion, as they were promoting their upcoming movie set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on May 1st.

Simultaneously, fans alleged that Blake was making a ‘tactical move’ by donning a set of knee-high Chanel boots, which accentuated the height disparity between him and Anna, suggesting an assertion of power.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I found myself in the midst of an illustrious gathering alongside esteemed figures such as Paul Feig, Laura Fischer, and Henry Golding. We struck poses for the camera together, making memories that would last a lifetime.

Amidst the buzz of speculation about potential friction between Blake and Anna, prior to the anticipated release of the A Simple Favor sequel, there have been rumors swirling. Blake has also been embroiled in a legal dispute with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni.

The premiere of the film at South By Southwest last month was dominated by controversy, such as a demonstrator waving a sign reading “Justice for Justin Baldoni, Blake lied” and an apparently frosty encounter between Anna.

The duo are coming together again for the eagerly awaited movie, where we find Stephanie Smothers (Anna) and Emily Nelson (Blake) jetting off to the picturesque island of Capri, Italy, for Emily’s lavish wedding to a wealthy Italian entrepreneur, as depicted by IMDb.

The main actors are swirling with whispers of a hidden dispute following their reunion on set, which marks a return together some five years since the initial film was released.

Indicating that the aftermath of the PR debacle surrounding “It Ends With Us” continues, a woman was spotted donning a shirt reading ‘Blake lied’, while carrying an expressive sign, as the actor made their way along the red carpet in close proximity.

Additionally complicating the situation, there were further uncomfortable instances when Blake’s fellow actor, Anna, displayed an awkward reaction to a query regarding their collaboration on the movie.

Anna replied vaguely on the red carpet, saying “You can imagine” when asked about working with Blake once more.

Apart from a shot that included their director, there were no individual photos showing Blake and Anna together. They did not pose for any separate pictures.

Previously, it had been noted that Anna seemed somewhat displeased because her co-star’s courtroom series was receiving more attention than the movie they were working on together.

At the gathering, celebrities were seen somewhat uneasily positioned side by side. Anna, meanwhile, lowered her head while she paid attention to what the actor from Gossip Girl was saying.

According to a source, comments on Instagram about the film have left her dismayed, particularly those implying that fans no longer wish to view the movie due to their unwillingness to back Blake.

They further explained that the Pitch Perfect star is ‘not used to being caught up in any drama’.

The release timing of the movie is proving to be a PR catastrophe, as it’s highly likely that Blake’s continuing legal issues with her It Ends With Us co-star Baldoni will overshadow its promotion.

In December, Lively brought charges of sexual harassment and masterminding a slanderous campaign against Baldoni in a lawsuit. Conversely, Baldoni countered with accusations of defamation and extortion totaling $400 million in a lawsuit he filed against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, and their publicist Leslie Sloane in February.

As a die-hard admirer speaking up, I must say that Baldoni has refuted the claims put forth by Lively. On the other hand, Lively, Reynolds, and Sloane have all taken it upon themselves to deny the allegations leveled against Baldoni.

Baldoni’s group has additionally launched a site, showcasing personal correspondences like text messages, which have been part of legal submissions outlining his discussions with the influential Hollywood pair concerning the production of their romantic drama.

In legal documents, he asserted that attempts were taken to bypass and weaken his influence as the director of “It Ends with Us.

Following the release of a promotional announcement for “Another Simple Favor” on February 5 by Prime Video, some viewers suggested that actress Lively may have attempted to exert her influence over director Paul Feig, aged 62, regarding the movie. This speculation prompted the filmmaker to address the rumors.

Director Feig, known for movies like Bridesmaids (2011), Ghostbusters (2016) and Jackpot! (2024), unequivocally stated his film was entirely his creation, clarifying, “This is my version of the movie. There isn’t another version… just wanted to make that clear.
