How Dax Shepard Reacted to Wife Kristen Bell’s Steamy Scenes With Adam Brody in Nobody Wants This
Dax Shepard also wants this.
Indeed, when it comes to wife Kristen Bell’s new hit rom-com series, Nobody Wants This, Shepard is rooting for her character Joanne to get together with Adam Brody’s Noah.
“Even I can acknowledge watching it, like, ‘Whoa, that’s hot,’” Bell said of her chemistry with The O.C. star during a recent eTalk interview. “My husband said the same thing. Like, watching the first episode he was like, ‘Oh my god, I want you to kiss him so badly.’”
Bell, who shares daughters Lincoln and Delta with Shepard, plays sex-positive podcast host Joanne, who meets and falls for newly single rabbi Noah (Brody), and the two must navigate family and cultural drama to make their relationship work. And though Bell’s chemistry with Brody appears natural on the screen, she said it’s anything but.
“I’m not trying to be reductive, but I think there’s a math to it,” Bell admitted. “You have two actors that know how to stare dopily into each other’s eyes, and you have to have the confidence to expand that and really sit the anticipatory value before the kiss —which I think is really important.”
