In a candid conversation with “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” Kristen Bell opened up about filming “House of Lies” with Adam Brody and shared a funny anecdote about their first intimate scene on the series. The actress, who was eight and a half months pregnant during filming, jokingly revealed that Brody affectionately referred to the scene as their “threesome,” a comment she didn’t want her daughter to hear.
Bell, who shares two daughters with husband Dax Shepard, played Jeannie van der Hooven on the show while Brody appeared as a guest star for three episodes as her love interest. Despite her advanced pregnancy during filming, producers creatively worked around Bell’s baby bump using strategic camera angles and CGI in the later seasons.
The actress praised Brody as a scene partner, describing him as bringing a mix of weird, awkward, funny, and wonderful elements to their scenes. She commended his handling of intimate moments, emphasizing the trust and comfort she felt working with him. Bell also highlighted their platonic bond, likening their real-life relationship to that of siblings due to their ability to get along well but also engage in heated discussions.
In a separate interview, Bell revealed that it took some convincing to get Brody on board for the Netflix hit “Nobody Wants This.” She believed he was the perfect fit for the role of “Hot Rabbi” Noah Roklov, despite initially hesitating to play a romantic lead. Bell appreciated Brody’s ability to defy expectations and deliver captivating performances, drawing viewers in with his charm and versatility on screen.
