Kristen Bell recently appeared on the talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she shared some interesting and hilarious anecdotes. Bell, known for her multi-talent, is set to release a new Netflix series called “Nobody Wants This” in a week’s time. On the show, she discussed her relationship with Kimmel, mentioning that they spend summers together but rarely see each other during the rest of the year.
One highlight of their summer together was a family vacation in Idaho. Bell expressed her gratitude for being invited to the limited-list vacation, which involved fishing and dancing. She particularly enjoyed the silent disco, where attendees wore headphones and could choose their own station to dance to. Bell described the experience as exceptional and entertaining, even for those who preferred to observe rather than participate.
From there, the conversation shifted to Bell’s recent trip to Denmark, Iceland, and Norway with her husband, Dax Shepard, and their children. Bell explained that they like to travel to unfamiliar places each summer to experience different cultures. In Denmark, they stayed at a hotel that opened up into a seven-acre theme park called Tiv Gardens. Bell and Shepard decided to let their children freely explore and have fun in the park, giving them a taste of independence while on vacation.
As the interview continued, Bell shared a funny story about Shepard’s discovery of an Antonio Banderas poster in her childhood bedroom. Shepard had mistakenly assumed that Bell was a fan of Banderas, only to find out later that she chose the poster to fit in with her friends’ choices. This led to a playful prank orchestrated by Monica, who hosts Shepard’s podcast, where she surprised Bell with another Banderas poster above their bed.
Moving on to her new show “Nobody Wants This,” Bell described her character as a provocative podcaster who encourages others to live life to the fullest. She also mentioned that there is no filter between her and Shepard regarding their podcasts, as they believe in living authentically. They often share embarrassing stories about each other without crossing any lines.
Bell also discussed her involvement in the musical “Reefer Madness,” which is currently playing in Los Angeles. She explained that she joined the cast 25 years ago and credits the experience with convincing her to move to LA. Recently, she had to step in as a performer when several cast members fell ill, learning the entire show in just three hours. Bell described the experience as thrilling and enjoyed the opportunity to be thrown into a theater performance last minute.
Overall, Kristen Bell‘s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live was filled with laughter, entertaining stories, and exciting updates about her upcoming projects. Fans can catch her new Netflix series “Nobody Wants This” in a week, and those in Los Angeles can watch her in “Reefer Madness” at the Whitley Theater.
