Anna Kendrick Called Obama an 'Asshole' When They Met
Remember the halcyon days of 2012, when calling the president an "asshole" could be taken as a joke rather than a statement of fact? In her latest appearance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, actor Anna Kendrick revealed her secret for cracking up President Barack Obama-turns out, jokingly calling him names does the trick. No wonder he and Biden get along so well.

Kendrick told Colbert her story of meeting then-President Obama at a campaign event. During his remarks, Obama called out Kendrick’s film, Up in the Air, which dealt with the post-recession economy.
When they later met one-on-one, Obama asked: “I hope I didn’t embarrass you earlier?”
“Yeah, you’re such an asshole,” replied Kendrick, precipitating the presidential guffaws. Check out the full interview bellow.
