In a hilarious and candid moment during her recent appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” Anna Kendrick shared a wild story about a Halloween party that took an unexpected turn thanks to some mushrooms.

 

 

The Setup

Kendrick, known for her roles in “Pitch Perfect” and her directorial debut “Woman of the Hour,” reminisced about a memorable Halloween night with her good friend Brittany Snow, who also starred in the “Pitch Perfect” series. As they prepared for the festivities, someone at the party offered them the chance to try microdosing mushrooms—a trendy practice that many have been exploring.

 

The Decision

Feeling adventurous, Kendrick enthusiastically agreed, proclaiming, “I’m fun!”—a statement that only emphasized her eagerness to dive into the experience. However, she opted to play it safe and chopped her dose in half, thinking this would ensure a manageable trip.

 

 

The Experience

As the night unfolded, Kendrick quickly realized that chocolate bars were not the best delivery system for mushrooms. One moment, she was fine; the next, she found herself feeling “so high.” The realization hit her hard, and she couldn’t stop exclaiming, “I’m so high, oh god, I’m so high!”

 

Brittany, who was trying to enjoy the party, soon noticed Kendrick’s escalating state and became concerned. In a display of true friendship, she decided to take a few more mushrooms to join Kendrick on this unexpected journey.

 

 

The Astral Plane

The two friends ended up in a corner of the party, staring at each other with joy and confusion, laughing like the Joker while tears streamed down their faces. In that psychedelic moment, they exchanged compliments, both declaring, “You’re so beautiful!” and “No, you’re so talented!” Kendrick even jokingly suggested that Brittany should remake “Chinatown,” revealing the whimsical insights that mushrooms can inspire.

 

A Lesson Learned

Reflecting on the experience, Kendrick humorously cautioned the audience to “learn from my mistakes, kids.” She acknowledged that, in hindsight, maybe microdosing wasn’t the best idea for a Halloween bash. As she wrapped up the story, she playfully admitted she probably should have checked the legality of their fun before sharing the tale.

 

 

 

Kendrick’s adventure serves as a lighthearted reminder of the unpredictable nature of Halloween celebrations and the sometimes wild choices friends make in the name of fun. With her infectious laugh and storytelling charm, Anna Kendrick left viewers both entertained and amused by her mushroom misadventure.
