Kristen Bell Facts: 11 Things You (Probably) Don't Know About the Actress

Moviefone
April 7, 2016 - 1 min read

By Rachel Horner Veronica Mars" to a bonafide movie star. Even though she's been a fave for years, odds are you don't everything about her. Before you catch her new movie, "The Boss," here are 11 things you probably don't know about KBell.

Not a Fan

Bell's oldest daughter is one of the only children in the world to not like "Frozen." Bell put it on for Lincoln one day when she was sick, and, after 15 minutes, Lincoln asked her to turn it off and said she didn't like it. 

Animal Friendly

Bell and her husband, Dax Shepard, tried being vegan before getting pregnant with their first child but didn’t stick to it. Bell went back to being a vegetarian and Shepard is mostly plant-based, but does eat chicken.

Eye Candy

Bell was voted “Best Looking Girl” by her senior class.

A Rose by Any Other Name...

When Bell was four, she asked her family to call her Smurfette. Once she got over that nickname, she went with Matthew, but her mom gave that a hard pass. Eventually, she settled on being called Annie (her middle name is Anne). She was called Annie by friends and family until 16, then started going by Kristen. What a wild ride.

Rough Stuff

Bell once broke both of her wrists playing hockey.

Sweet Tooth

Bell has dessert after every meal, even after breakfast.

Vroom Vroom

Bell has a motorcycle license.

One of the Boys

Bell played on an all-boys baseball team for two years.

Working Mom

Bell returned to work three months after giving birth to her youngest daughter, Delta, for “The Boss.”

Humble Beginnings

When Bell was a senior in high school, she worked at the local TCBY.

Love at First Read

As soon as Bell read the script for the "Veronica Mars" pilot, she fell in love with the character. The rest is history. [Source: IMDB]
