Fans seem to absolutely love guessing the age of celebrities, with Anna Kendrick being no exception.

The Woman of the Hour star recently sat down on an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show to discuss her directorial debut alongside a major milestone birthday she's got to look forward to next August.

Prior to starring in the Netflix smash-hit, Kendrick appeared in a whole bunch of cinematic classics, including Twilight, Pitch Perfect, and the Trolls saga.

Looking back at her decade-spanning career, Barrymore, 49, asked Kendrick: "Are you turning 40? How do you feel?"

"I feel really great about it," Kendrick replied. "Like, I'm one of those people that, as I approach, like, a milestone age, I'll just start saying it anyway.

"So I just am saying, like, 'Yeah, I'm 40', and I'm not, but I feel like I might as well just start saying it."

She revealed: "I've kind of been obsessed with just finally becoming a grownup for since I was a baby."

The Charlie's Angels icon agreed: "Being a grownup is awesome. It is so not overrated."

"No, it's so great," the Pitch Perfect star chirped. "I remember being so excited to turn 30, and I turned 30, and it was awesome.

"And I'm so excited to turn 40, because it just feels more and more like, 'Dude, I'm a grown up!'"

Admitting it's sometimes 'scary' to be the 'adult in the room', Kendrick added: "You're also like, 'I made it. I'm in control'.

"I'm allowed to like, exist and not ask permission to, like, grab a cookie at night."

Barrymore then reflected a mantra: "If I can trust myself, everything will be okay."

"I think that's true," Kendrick resolved, "and I think everything will be okay and I think even if it's not, I can handle it."

The Drew Barrymore Show captioned the clip on Instagram: "@annakendrick47 on turning 40 & feeling like she can handle anything."

People clearly couldn't wrap their heads around the fact the Hollywood A-lister has lived a full four decades on this world, with many rushing to the comments to share their amazement.

One Instagram user penned: "That’s not real. She looks 25."

"I’m sorry, what? That blew my mind," admitted a second while a third chirped: "40?!?! Ain't no way!"

Many others rushed in to welcome Kendrick to the 40+ club, with a fourth fan writing: "Being a grown up is awesome and a real blessing, welcome to the 40s."

A fifth praised: "Anna embracing adulthood and gearing up for 40 is the cutest thing!"

"Yes! I love this. I turned 41 recently and I’m loving getting older," gushed a sixth while another assured: "Girl……wait till 50 it’s my fave so far!"

And a final Instagram user resolved: "Each decade is a blessing."
