AceShowbiz - Anna Kendrick is less than impressed with the fan frenzy surrounding the arrival of Prince William and Kate Middleton's second baby Princess Charlotte. She explained the reason during an appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" on Thursday night, May 14.
The "Pitch Perfect 2" actress, who was in London when Charlotte was born earlier this month, was asked about the "royal baby mania". She said, "First of all, I don't know why anybody cares about the royal baby. Because it's a baby! It hasn't done anything. It hasn't achieved anything. It was just born."
Seth then said, "I get in like 1540 it was exciting when the king had a baby. But it's not like he's ever going to be the king that matters." Anna agreed, saying, "No, he's not going to do anything. And like, so Americans care a little bit, but when I was in England, the city [of London] had gone crazy. There were all these flags up and there were people baking special cakes at lunch to have in celebration of the royal baby, and I was like, 'The baby doesn't know you're doing that! The baby doesn't care!' "
"And the baby was on like a full page of the Daily Mail in the U.K.-the first picture of the baby, [and] it just looks like every baby," the "Twilight" actress added. "All babies look like sacks of potatoes. It just looks like a baby. You could put a picture of any baby, any Caucasian baby, and you'd be like, 'Aw, it looks like a baby!' Is it a boy? Is it a girl? Is it a sack of potatoes? I don't know!"
