You all know Kristen Bell, she’s funny, she’s talented, she’s blonde. My name is Justin Adler and I had the pleasure to sit down with her to talk about life, marriage, and her husband’s latest relapse.
Adler: It’s wonderful to meet you, Kristen.
Kristen: Thank you. You too!
Adler: I hate to ask, but could you please tell your kids to give me my iPhone back?
Kristen: Excuse me?
Adler: I must have dropped it at some point…. and the tall one has it now.
Kristen: Oh, lord. [To her daughters:] Girls, please give this man’s phone back.
Adler: The little one is drooling all over it. [To Kristen’s youngest daughter:] Hey you, stop that! It’s not sanitary to salivate over other people’s stuff.
[Kristen gets Adler’s phone back from her kids.]
Kristen: I’m so sorry… they’re really bored.
Adler: I’m so glad you brought them then.
Kristen: [laughs]
Adler: [holding his phone] Gross. Why is it sticky?
Kristen: [laughs] Yeah… that happens when kids play with stuff…. Let’s get you something to clean it with.
Adler: It’s too late. I will never look at this phone the same again.
Kristen: [laughs]
[Adler puts his phone on the table next to him with absolute disgust.]
Adler: Where were we?
Kristen: I think we were just starting…
Adler: Can I be honest for a second? I really admire how likable you are.
Kristen: Thank you!
Adler: I feel like you and I have that in common. We’re both really likable, friendly… just easy-going people.
Kristen: You think so? [laughs] Okay. Thanks.
Adler: Anyway, how are you? How’s your husband Dax doing after his relapse?
Kristen: He’s actually doing really great. It’s one day at a time, you know? But we’re going to therapy now… and he’s learning from this so it can ultimately be a growth experience for him.
Adler: Totally…. I love that. I’ve got to remember that…. Let me write that down.
[Adler grabs his phone from the coffee table.]
Adler: IT’S STILL STICKY AND GROSS.
Kristen: Well, that makes sense. You never really cleaned it up.
[Adler puts the phone down again.]
Adler: Well, it’s obviously been a difficult morning for me… but I’m very glad to hear Dax is doing great. Please give him my best.
Kristen: Thank you… for sure, I will.
Adler: He’s not such a likable, easy-going person like you and me but… who is? He’s pretty great still.
Kristen: [laughs] Definitely.
Adler: I heard that you also wrote a children’s book a few months ago… and it’s already a New York Times bestseller.
Kristen: Yes! It’s called “The World Needs More Purple People” and you can buy it on Amazon and really, any bookstore.
Adler: Purple People? You must be confused… there are no purple people. There are purple grapes… purple onions….. If the person is purple, they’re probably dead. It’s a corpse… Oh, good lord…. are you suggesting….?
Kristen: No, no!! Being purple is not about what you look like…. It’s about who you are in the inside…
Adler: That doesn’t make any sense.
Kristen: [laughs] I promise you, it does. I can send you a copy of the book if you want to read it.
Adler: Sure…. I hope it’s short.
Kristen: [laughs] It’s short.
Adler: Anyway, it looks like we’re out of time but it was lovely to meet you, Kristen. Please don’t bring your kids next time.
