Love in the Spotlight: Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard Spill the Tea on Handling On-Screen Romances In the world of Hollywood, on-screen chemistry is everything – and for married couple Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, it’s a delicate dance they’ve mastered over the years. The duo, known for their banter and undeniable charm, have shared the screen in a string of hit TV shows and movies, including the popular sitcom “Bad Moms” and the Disney classic “Frozen.” But have you ever wondered how they navigate those romantic scenes, all while keeping their real-life marriage strong? In a recent interview, Kristen Bell dished on the secrets behind their on-screen romances, and it’s a refreshing take on what it means to be a power couple in the entertainment industry. In “We’re Married, We’re Not Dead,” Kristen Bell opens up about the challenges of playing love interests, and how she and Dax Shepard make it work – both on and off the screen
Foundational Trust and On-Screen Romances
Unionjournalism had the opportunity to learn from Kristen Bell about her secret to a successful marriage with Dax Shepard, particularly when it comes to handling on-screen romances in their respective TV shows and movies. According to Kristen, the key to their admirable romance is “foundational trust.” This trust allows them to navigate the challenges of their profession, including intimate scenes with other actors, without it affecting their relationship.
As actors, Kristen and Dax have both been involved in on-screen intimacy with other people. Kristen starred alongside Adam Brody in the Netflix series “Nobody Wants This,” while Dax had his fair share of flings, romances, and spicy relationships in the 2010 series “Parenthood.” However, Kristen explained that she knows Dax is committed to their family, and she trusts him completely. “Even if Dax hooks up with the most beautiful person in the world at work, I know he’s coming home. I know he loves our children. I know he strives to be a great husband and father.”
Open Communication and Honesty
While trust is essential, Kristen emphasized the importance of open communication and honesty in their relationship. “We’re just human, right?” she added. “So maybe there could be a day where I’m like, ‘I’m actually really nervous that you spend time with that person.’ And he could say, ‘Oh, OK, let’s talk about it. What makes you nervous? What are you thinking?’ We have a very open communication.”
This open communication allows them to address any concerns or insecurities they may have, ensuring that their relationship remains strong and healthy. As Kristen explained, “We root for each other… We’re married; we’re not dead.”
Chemistry and Support
The chemistry between Kristen and Dax is undeniable, and it plays a significant role in their supportive relationship. When Dax had to film intimate scenes with Minka Kelly in “Parenthood,” Kristen was not fazed. Instead, she was supportive and encouraging. “When he got to make out with Minka Kelly on Parenthood, I was like, ‘Yes. Get it,'” she said.
Dax is equally supportive of Kristen’s on-screen romances. When she starred alongside Adam Brody in “Nobody Wants This,” Dax was not concerned about their chemistry. Kristen explained, “Dax also knows there’s no real threat there… because Adam and I, if you were to see us in person, there is not chemistry. We bicker all the time. We’re like an old granny and grampy. It’s not hot and heavy on set at all.”
Fans React to “Nobody Wants This” Season 2
Netflix has confirmed that “Nobody Wants This” will return for another season, and fans are rejoicing. However, they have one major request – a longer sophomore season. After watching the adorable rom-com, fans want more than just ten episodes. They are asking for seasons with 22 episodes, similar to “Friends,” that last around 28-30 minutes.
Fans took to social media to express their excitement and requests. “Give us seasons like Friends, 22 episodes and they last about 28-30 min, that would be great, thanks,” one fan wrote on Instagram. Another fan agreed, “Yes perfect! Netflix please listen!” While some fans are opposed to a second season, others are eager to see more of Kristen Bell and Adam Brody’s on-screen chemistry.
