HOLLYWOOD, CA<\/b> \u2013 At 40 years old (born August 9, 1985) and standing at 5\u20192\u201d, the brilliant and talented Anna Kendrick recently became the target of online body-shaming trolls who mocked her stature and age with the dismissive barb: \u201cShe\u2019s 40 and 5\u20192\u201d, not a Victoria\u2019s Secret angel.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Kendrick, known for her sharp wit and refusal to play by Hollywood\u2019s superficial rules, instantly shut down the ageist and sizeist shaming. Her single, savage line, delivered during a press event, was a masterful deflection that placed her worth exactly where it belongs: on her irrefutable artistic achievements.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 40, 5\u20192\u201d, and I\u2019ve been nominated for a Tony, an Oscar, and an Emmy. I\u2019ll take a triple-crown nod over a pair of wings any day.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This powerful retort dismissed the shallow, commercialized ideal of a “Victoria’s Secret Angel” and replaced it with her irrefutable, career-spanning accolades, proving that her artistic achievements tower far higher than any runway model\u2019s height.<\/span><\/p>\n
