There have been reports of a drama between Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick as they continue their promotional tour for “Another Simple Favor.” On Tuesday, the duo posed on the red carpet in London for the film’s special screening, and the recent photos got a body language expert talking about “awkwardness” between them, indicating a rift. Judi James told the Daily Mail that the co-stars’ “rigid” and “un-relaxed” poses showed signs of “awkwardness or self-consciousness.” James also pointed out other factors that could have affected their poses.
Body language expert claims Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick ‘lack synchronization’
Body language expert Judi James claimed that Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick’s red carpet photos from the “Another Simple Favor” press tour “lack synchronization.” James reported to the Daily Mail about noticing “awkwardness or self-consciousness” between the two, especially with their “rigid-looking” poses while making public appearances for their upcoming film. In addition, she explained what caused their “un-relaxed-looking poses” in light of recent rumors of a possible rift. These include pressure to deny said rumors and physical factors.
James first noted that the “Gossip Girl” actor appeared to be “doing the heavy lifting of looking happy and amiable.” The expert believed that the “pressure to visually deny rumors of some kind of a rift” likely caused “their un-relaxed-looking poses,” claiming that it wasn’t an “easy-going relationship.” She added that Lively and Kendrick’s height difference could be a factor but highlighted that there were only a few “signs of relaxed and authentic fun or rapport here.” She also noticed that their poses lacked “synchronization” and “playful touches or movement.”
The body language expert concluded that the pressure to deny rumors of a rift or drama prompted the “awkwardness” in Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick’s red carpet photos. James highlighted several details that caused her to point out a lack of coordination as some photos suggested they were “talking at once, as both their mouths are open.” Her other observations included their “self-consciously” placed hands around each other’s backs instead of a “partial hugging ritual.”
Nevertheless, there have been no confirmed reports about drama between the co-stars.
