Anna Kendrick learned something new while filming “Pitch Perfect 3”.
The actress, who returns to the aca-awesome musical franchise as Beca, tells Seth Meyers she found out that “vagina” could be used a verb, something she learned from the movie’s director, Trish Sie. Sie got her start as a choreographer, most notably creating the treadmill dance moves in OK Go’s 2006 music video for “Here It Goes Again”, which she co-directed, and the band’s zero-gravity “Upside Down & Inside Out” airplane-set video.
“It’s really helpful that she comes from the dance world because it’s involved in the movie, but some of her direction has been amazing and I feel like I’m just learning a lot about what body movements are,” Kendrick tells Meyers on “Late Night” on Monday night.
Details of the plot of the third film are still under wraps, but according to Kendrick, audiences can expect some “lewd” body movements from the Bellas.
“There was a scene in the first week of shooting. She came in and she was trying to get one of the characters to do a lewd body movement, and she was like, ‘So I think, you know, you’re just over here and just like vagina-ing on the couch,”” she explains. “I didn’t know ‘vagina-ing’ could be a verb. But she’s a choreographer. This is her world. I’m just trying – I’m learning a lot.”
“She probably learned that at the Bolshoi. This is a famous choreography term,” Meyers jokes.
