Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, Hollywood’s most suited couple, made an appearance on the 21st episode of Larry King Now Season 1. In what turned out to be an engaging conversation, the celebrity couple revealed fascinating details about their relationship, family, and careers.
The conversation began with Larry King asking the couple about their love story. Kristen recounted how she had first met Dax at a mutual friend’s party, and had felt an instant connection with him. Dax, in a typical humorous way, countered Kristen’s account of their meeting by claiming that he had actually met her much before, at a hockey game that Kristen had attended with her mother.
The couple then talked about their decision to get married, and how they had opted for a low-key ceremony. Dax shared how they had decided to get married at the Beverly Hills courthouse, and how they had to go through metal detectors and cell phone checks before they could exchange their vows.
Apart from their personal lives, Larry King also delved into the couple’s professional careers. Kristen talked about her role in ‘Frozen,’ and how she had always known that she wanted to be part of the film. She also shared her experience collaborating with Idina Menzel on the hit song, ‘Let It Go.’ Dax, on the other hand, talked at length about his experience working on the TV series ‘Parenthood’ and his subsequent career choices. He also revealed how he had inadvertently landed a role in ‘Zathura’ by pretending to be a different actor during the audition.
One of the highlights of the conversation was the couple’s discussion on their charitable work and activism. Kristen spoke passionately about her work with Invisible Children, an organization that aims to end the use of child soldiers in Uganda. She also talked about her support for the No Kid Hungry campaign, and her efforts to raise awareness about mental health issues and advocacy. Dax, similarly, talked about his advocacy for sobriety and his experience with addiction in the past.
The couple’s conversation with Larry King was not all serious, though. They also shared some delightful anecdotes about their marriage and children. Dax recounted how he had once snapped at Kristen for using her phone too much, only to realize that he was actually looking at his own reflection in the mirror. Kristen, in turn, spoke about the first time she had met Dax’s mother, who had mistaken her for Kate Hudson!
Overall, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard’s appearance on Larry King Now was a delightful and engaging conversation that offered insights into their personal and professional lives. The couple’s wit and humor combined with their commitment to activism and charity made for an inspiring conversation, and left audiences with a deep admiration for the dynamic duo.
