Kristen Bell has insisted that she had no fear when it came to diving with great white sharks.

The House Of Lies actress went cage diving in South Africa with the potentially fatal fish, but said that she wasn’t worried about being eaten.

‘I wasn’t scared because the cage makes you feel invincible,’ she told Us Weekly. ‘I’ve never been attacked by a shark, so I have a hard time conceptualizing the fear of being attacked.

‘Cage diving was really the most exceptional thing, because not a lot of people get to be six inches from a great white shark!’

The 31-year-old philanthropist also used the trip to learn about ways to save water and what effect that can have on the world.

‘I was always very willing to accept clean water as being a global issue and something that Africa struggles with, but what I’ve learned through this partnership with Neutrogena Naturals – where I’m a brand ambassador – is how much of a domestic issue it is,’ she explained.

‘I got to visit the Colorado River earlier this year and what I’ve learned was profound. You can actually see the line where the river started. It used to be this big gushing thing and now it’s been depleted.’

She continued, ‘There are tiny choices that everyone can make that profoundly affect our collective water use.

‘Like not having the tap on while brushing your teeth, not starting your shower ten minutes in advance, not doing laundry until you have a full load. In this particular issue, education really is power.’
