Last week, followers have been left baffled after Dax Shepard made a random revelation about Kristen Bell’s previous “jealousy” in direction of Anna Kendrick.
Sitting down with Anna herself for an episode of his Armchair Expert podcast, Dax introduced that Kristen — to whom he’s been married since 2013 — used to really feel barely envious of the Pitch Perfect star.
Firstly making it clear that Kristen gave him permission to inform the story, Dax divulged that Anna was the one individual he’d ever witnessed his spouse really feel jealous of.
“I’ve known Kristen for fifteen years, she has only had jealousy over a single human, and it’s been you,” he stated. “I never saw it. It blew my mind.”
Going on to share precisely why Kristen felt jealous of Anna, Dax stated, “Kristen was like, ‘Who is this other short person? Oh, so she can sing like that too? I’m already here. We got another one.’”
“I never felt like she liked me,” Anna stated of Kristen. “But I do think a massive percentage of that is just genuinely when it comes to really sweet angelic blonde girls.”
“I just assumed they think I am weird, they think I’m this weird little troll. And I don’t think of Kristen as short, I think of her as just an angel, and she’s so sweet,” she continued.
Anna in the end dismissed these emotions as her personal “projections,” explaining that she finds herself petrified of “women who look a certain way.”
“Maybe there was just some energetic thing there. In all likelihood there wasn’t and it was just my typical thing of certain women who look a certain way scare me and I just assume that they won’t like me,” she stated.
What’s extra, Dax additionally clarified that Kristen “never disliked” Anna, explaining that she had “nothing but wonderful feelings” for the Twilight star.
“In the 15 years I’ve known Kristen, she’s had nothing but benevolence for everyone,” he stated.
“She monitored you, recognized how brilliant you were, lost some roles to you, and slowly processed the whole thing, and has nothing but wonderful feelings for you,” he added. “But you’re the only person who ever made her jealous that I witnessed.”
Reacting to a viral clip of the dialog on Twitter, a number of followers have been left bewildered at Dax’s revelation.
Several customers referred to as Dax “messy” and “odd” for sharing the non-public data publicly — even with Kristen’s permission.
“why would he tell this story, even with her consent to,” one person wrote.
“why not use the word ‘admire’ or something he’s so odd for that,” stated one other.
On the opposite hand, some customers felt that there was nothing incorrect with Dax sharing the story provided that Kristen was completely high-quality with it.
