Kristen Bell Reveals the Moment That Made Her Feel “Insignificant”
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
In Big Miracle, Kristen Bell plays a young but driven reporter sent to cover a major story unfolding in the Alaskan wilderness. When we recently met with Kristen in LA to talk about the movie, which filmed on location just outside of Anchorage, she told us she was up for the challenges the role presented. Not only did she grow up in Detroit, where the Winters are notoriously harsh, but as an actress, she said she could relate to her character’s ambition as well as her career setbacks. Kristen also talked about what it was like to be caught in an onscreen love triangle between Drew Barrymore and her longtime friend John Krasinski, and a magical moment during the shoot that left her feeling “insignificant.”
Kristen Bell on Playing a “Professional Liar” in a New “Perverted” Dark Comedy

House of Lies’ leading lady Kristen Bell stopped at Sundance to tell us about playing a “professional liar” in the new “perverted” dark comedy. Plus, find out which Big Miracle costar she said couldn’t take the Alaskan cold and hear how she stays fit by eating leftover pizza in our fun one-on-one interview at the Bing Bar!
Cover girl Kristen Bell reclaims the small screen this month in Showtime’s new series, House of Lies. Bell stars in the hit comedy as Jeannie Van Der Hooven, the whip-smart management consultant teamed up with the brazen and charming Marty Kaan, played by Don Cheadle. We loved Bell as a teen sleuth on her hit show Veronica Mars (and as the sly narrator on Gossip Girl) so naturally we were thrilled at her return to our DVR queue.
Bell was so fun to have on set–between listening to Glee tracks, the star dished on everything from her long-time vegetarianism to her experimentation with 80′s hairstyles. Check out the behind-the-scenes cover shoot video below, then grab our February issue and see why we fell for Bell.
Kristen Bell loves sloths. You might even say she’s obsessed with them. She told Ellen about what happened when her boyfriend, Dax Shepard, introduced her to one for the first time, and if it’s too hard to believe, she brought the footage to prove it.
