Kendrick told Playboy that she's not just uncomfortable with nude scenes, but that she dislikes kissing scenes as well (even fully clothed), because a scripted smooch takes the fun out of making out. "It's so mechanical; it wasn't the actor's idea to kiss me. We just have to look at each other and say, 'Okay, I guess we are doing this now,'" she explained. "For women, the fact that someone wants to kiss you is the exciting part. If someone's kissing you when they don't particularly want to be, it takes the fun out of it. Also, it's the makeup department's job to have mints, which is random. Why the makeup department?"
We're just guessing here, but maybe Kendrick's discomfort has something to do with the decidedly awkward experience she had the first time she had to smooch on screen. As she recalled to E! News of the scene from 2007's Rocket Science, in which she starred when she was 19, "I kissed a boy who was 15 or 16 so I felt pretty creepy." Yep, that'll do it.
