You probably know Anna Kendrick from her roles in movies like Pitch Perfect, Up in the Air, or the new Disney+ original Noelle...
...or just from her very good, very funny Twitter.
There must be SO much elevator security cam footage of me with headphones on, where I get in, wait for the doors to close, and then immediately bust a move like I’m headlining fucking Coachella.
You're probably less familiar with Anthony Beauvillier.
He plays hockey for the New York Islanders.
Anyway, Anthony decided to celebrate his Christmas this year by shooting his shot at Anna Kendrick by...basically just @-ing her on Twitter.
Hi @AnnaKendrick47
Apparently people thought "Hi" wasn't going to cut it, so Twitter decided to help Anthony out by talking him up. A lot.
@titobeauvi21 @AnnaKendrick47 Beau, thank you again for saving all those kittens at that animal shelter in the Bahamas when the Hurricane hit. Still amazed that you swam to Miami with them on your back.
Classic wingman moves, you know.
@titobeauvi21 @AnnaKendrick47 Waited five years for a donor until this guy gave me his kidney. Can’t thank you enough dude
What a nice guy!
@titobeauvi21 @AnnaKendrick47 hey man thanks for letting me use your gear during that fundraiser you held for the animal shelter to save puppies. Your cup was way too big but other than that everything worked fine. Thanks again!
So multitalented!
@titobeauvi21 @AnnaKendrick47 Thanks for performing open heart surgery on me man, I appreciate it
Former Islander Bruno Gervais got in on the fun.
@titobeauvi21 @AnnaKendrick47 Remember Beau when you saved me from a burning building, cooked me a 7 course meal and taught me 8 languages , that was a great day
Even Rangers fans helped out!
@titobeauvi21 @AnnaKendrick47 Anthony, even though I’m a Rangers fan I appreciate you buying me that new PC for Christmas. Stand up guy right here @AnnaKendrick47 .
Anyway, Anna hasn't responded yet, because TBH who responds to random @s from complete strangers on Twitter? But you gotta appreciate how Twitter comes together sometimes.
UPDATE
She responded! Still no date, but obviously Anna is very impressed with the sheer number of orphaned kittens Anthony has saved.
@titobeauvi21 These replies have been my entertainment for the last two days. Thank you all for regaling me with the true tales of this man’s heroism.
