Dax Shepard candidly called out his wife, Kristen Bell, for sharing an on-screen kiss with Adam Brody.
During a recent discussion about their chemistry, Shepard humorously remarked that it can’t quite compare to the connection Bell shares with her “The O.C.” co-star. Kristen Bell’s latest project, “Nobody Wants This,” aired on Netflix in September, captivating audiences rapidly.
“My friend and I caught that scene together, and I must say, I’d argue it stands as the finest kissing scene ever captured on screen,” Shepard shared at the New Yorker Festival, as reported by People magazine. He continued, “My best friend, Aaron, asked me, ‘Does she ever kiss you like that?’ Honestly, I had no idea she could deliver a kiss like that.”
In a reflective moment, Bell recounted Shepard’s reaction after they watched the show together. “Even I can admit that watching it, I thought, ‘Wow, that’s steamy,’” she told E! News regarding her chemistry with Brody. “My husband echoed that sentiment. As we watched the first episode, he exclaimed, ‘Oh my god, I want you to kiss him so badly.’”
In “Nobody Wants This,” Bell portrays Joanne, a character who forms a romantic bond with Brody’s Noah, a recently single Rabbi. Their journey is characterized by the complexities of familial expectations and cultural divides.
Recently, Netflix announced that “Nobody Wants This” will return for a second season, much to the delight of fans.
Their love story began in 2007 when Shepard and Bell met at a mutual friend’s dinner gathering. A serendipitous encounter at a hockey game soon followed. Just a week after that dinner, Shepard reached out to Bell with a text—an amusing advance that read, “I violated your privacy and got your number from Shauna. How do you feel about that?”
Bell recalled how that cheeky message made her heart flutter. “It started with a great joke, igniting feelings of butterflies in me. I fell in love with him far before he realized he loved me,” she shared, reminiscing about their early days. The couple eventually tied the knot in 2013 and are now raising two daughters, Lincoln and Delta.
This love story serves as a poignant reminder of the unexpected twists of modern romance. The playful banter between Shepard and Bell highlights an essential ingredient in their relationship—the ability to appreciate each other’s journeys, even when it means sharing intimate moments with others on-screen.
Dax and Kristen continue to entertain us, whether through their personal lives or the roles they choose to inhabit, keeping the essence of love and humor alive in their dynamic partnership.
