Anna Kendrick has described herself as a "childless cat lady".

The 39-year-old 'Pitch Perfect' has revealed she doesn't plan to start a family any time soon and revealed her worries over the unequal division of domestic labour is part of her decision not to have children.

When asked whether she still feels as if "motherhood isn’t for me", Anna told Flow Space: "I was thinking recently about a phrase I've heard men say about their desire to have children in the future, and it occurred to me: I don't think I've ever heard a woman say that.

"And the thing they'll say is, ‘Yeah, maybe one day - a couple of kids running around'. I don't think I've ever heard a woman say that!

"Because it paints a certain visual, yes? That you come home at the end of your work day, and you put down your proverbial briefcase, and you're making yourself a cocktail, and a woman in a Laura Ashley dress is out in the yard, and there's a couple of kids - in white! - running around. Um, ‘Where are you in that, sir?’"

Anna went on to explain she wants to talk to her female friends - who are mothers - about it but feels she can't bring up the subject because she doesn't have kids of her own. She added: "I don't know, there's something about that phrase that really starts to rub me the wrong way. It's like when I hear husbands say they want to ‘help out’ with the kids.

"And it's two working parents! And I always want to kind of say something, and then I'm just like, ‘Well, I'm the childless cat lady. I'm not gonna say s***'."

Anna's comments appear to make reference to Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance, who previously described leading Democrats as "a bunch of childless cat ladies".

She previously shared her views on starting a family in an interview with the Guardian newspaper, admitting she doesn't even feel "responsible" enough to own a cat.

Anna explained: "Here’s the best argument for why I don’t have kids. [I was falling asleep to TikTok cat videos] and I thought: ‘I’d have an easier time falling asleep with the weight of a cat on me. But I’m not responsible enough to own a cat. Someone should really make a robot cat that does all the purring and the kneading.’

"And then I was like: wait, I’m not even up to the ‘cat lady’ part! Why would anyone trust me with a kid?"
