'I'm not really interested in it': Anna Kendrick refused to explore nudity in sex scenes for new show Love Life - and jokes it was 'gross' to simulate using a sex toy in the series

Anna Kendrick's new series, Love Life, sees her locking lips or getting into bed with a new love interest each episode.

But the American actress says while she had no problem with simulating sex on the show, she refused to shoot nudity scenes.

'My personal feelings on nudity – that I’m not really interested in nudity for me – stayed the same,' the 34-year-old star told Sydney Morning Herald on Sunday.

Anna's new TV show Love Life will premiere exclusively on Stan in Australia on May 27 - with weekly episodes dropping the same day as the US.

Anna plays a female protagonist, museum tour guide Darby, looking for love in New York City.

The Pitch Perfect star said it was 'weird' to film a show with which she had so many flings and love interests in a short period of filming.

'It was definitely weird to know that we were going to meet and within a week we were going to be in bed pretending to have sex!' she said.

'I’ve never had a problem with simulated sex scenes – that feels like it’s about the character, whereas I only get one body, so nudity is more about me,' Anna said about refraining from filming fully nude in scenes. 

The Oscar-nominated actress spoke of one particular scene: 'Tricia Brock directed an episode of Love Life where Darby uses a sex toy and I said: "Tricia, do you just like to have me doing something gross every time we work together?"'

Stan released the official first-look trailer for the new ten-episode romantic comedy series last month.

The TV show is Kendrick's first full-length scripted series after a long list of movie credits since 2003.

Love Life is billed as the journey from first love to last love, and how past relationships shape people into who they become and finally end up with forever.

Kendrick stars in the first season along with Zoë Chao (Downhill, Strangers), Peter Vack (Someone Great, The Bold Type), Sasha Compere (Miracle Workers, Uncorked), and Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread, Another Year).
