  • Kendrick, who suspected Bell did not like her, was shocked.

    Dax Shepard revealed Anna Kendrick is the only person his wife, Kristen Bell, is jealous of on the January 9 episode of Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast.

    Kendrick appeared on the show to discuss her role in the upcoming drama "Alice, Darling" with Shepard and his co-host Monica Padman.

    Shepard interrupted the interview to pay "a quick compliment" to Kendrick at the 54:30-minute mark. "I've known Kristen [Bell] for fifteen years, she has only had jealousy over a single human, and it's been you," he told Kendrick. "I'd never saw it. It blew my mind," he added.

    Bell, he said, was envious of Kendrick's singing chops. "Kristen was like, who is this other short person? Oh, so she can sing like that too? I'm already here. We got another one," Shepard continued.

    Kendrick said she actually thought Bell did not care for her personality. "I actually have a funny thing with your wife where I never thought, like, she liked me," she told Shepard. Kendrick attributed her feelings to perceiving Bell as an "angel."

    "She's so sweet, and I feel so rough around the edges," Kendrick added before describing herself as "bristly" and "abrasive."

    "I have to be ultra clear with you. She never disliked you," said Shepard later. "I just want to say that, for the record, she never disliked – jealous, which I had never seen."

    "That is SO unfathomable to me," replied Kendrick before expressing admiration for Bell. "Obviously, she's unbelievably talented and successful and all the things!"
