Because of her recent fame established by her acclaimed roles in Up in the Air and Pitch Perfect, Kendrick has been sparking rumors of plastic surgery as well. Although the reports aren’t as persistent as with other celebrity plastic surgery rumors, people are still curious as to what the 28-year-old actress has done to enhance her looks.
According to some experts, Kendrick doesn’t appear to look like someone who’s had cosmetic procedures. Dr. Nassif said: “Anna Kendrick is still very young. She has had no surgery to this point, and would not benefit from anything, as her look is beautiful and natural.”
