She always comes across as being a very nice person. Friendly and kind and not fake and is always humble.

exactly i just love her personality

She’s pretty and quirky 🤍🤍🤍

Sam Asher literally one of my fav parts of GG

Hey Upper East Siders! XOXO, Gossip Girl

Icons are religious symbols. Nothing to do with television

I didn’t realize it was her until after I had finished the show

Sometimes you need to step outside, clear your head, and remind yourself of who you are and where you wanna be. And sometimes you have to venture outside your world in order to find yourself. As for me, I’m happy right where I am. I only wanna be with you. Xoxo, Gossip Girl 💋

SpotellisEdits More like the kindergarten teacher everyone loves (especially the Dad’s)

SpotellisEdits she’s basically the teacher every student loves and remembers until they grow up

It feels like you are describing a role she played in some movie even though I don't think she did 😄

SpotellisEdits 😂

My art teacher is a horrible man 😒

Agree

Ikr

And she's a legit snack :D

YESSSS

Y e s

sameee

yes

Same lol

me tooo

Sameee

I think her point was that that's not necessarily the reality any more. She said that it changed or even completely vanished

Yeah, to say the least😅

I feel like in the last decade the rules became less and less ridged. We have female badasses, academic types, wierdos who can be fierce, sexually empowerd, and strong women with hearts of gold. Theres still a lot of stereotypes but theres alot more 3 dimensional women characters.

Haven’t multiple girls voiced and played boys before?

TipsyRabbit they are...the same thing.

Lol yeah like imagine saying that to Kristen. Bell. Unironicly. 🤣

It boggles the mind like.. hello?? She’s literally such a cute pretty girl

not hard to get thru ya head

Kristen is every man's crush

Or woman's

It is my favorite show. Ever. It was the only show I watched that I felt like nothing was dragged out too long, and the only show where I was truly satisfied with the ending.

I did the same with my mum during a pandemy. And I also "forced" her to trust me and don't fall into the impression of the "stupid american comedy, with stupid characters". It was a first thing for a really long time which we have watched together, since our taste in movies differ a lot. But at the end she loved it. I also convinced my friend to watch it, telling her she HAS to get through the first season to really get this show :)

i have seen it many times and just convinced my mom to watch it with me (her the first time) and we are on the final episode tomorrow after binging it lol

Have you ever listened to the official podcast? It's wonderful, you can tell how much fun the whole cast and crew had working on that show.

I was sooo surprised too!!

realy

I know she has a baby face. Shout out to the baby faces out there heeeeyyy lmao 😆

she's another one of those celebrities who hasn't aged in the last like 15-20 years

i think her secret is kindness. shes got a lot of that :)

And that's why you're not a casting director

@@fromis.9 how do you know

isa dakosta I love Kristen but no casting director would cast her as the “pretty girl”

Mass Production Waifu then what do you call her role as Nikki in Burlesque?

@@csilagh4148 the bitchy girl....

I literally got to this comment at the exact point she was saying it.

bruh like a billiom people have said that before, why u writing it like she said something poetic and new.

Love ur pfp

Veronica Mars will always be one of my favorite shows! The dramatics were insane, and the characters are the story. The way Kristen plays Veronica is everything!

I only found it this year too! And I love it too! I’m 24 and I prefer teen kind of shows so this is right up my street! I’ve finished all 3 series and need to find the 4th

@@rhirhi.98xoxo70 exactly the same here!

Season 1 & 2 are the just the epitome of tv gold. Everything is well crafted, the plot/mystery were intriguing, the oneliners always had me laughing and I loved how there’s a new mystery in every episode with the main plot still moving forward. So underrated and highly recommend it

Never felt so relatable to one comment! Also 24yo, and also started to watch veronica mars in 2022. And I didn´t believed that I always heard about the show, but never started to watching, even that was my kind of tv show, and now is definetely one of my favorites!

Hahahaha me too. She's ageless.

@Frozen Bananas yeah, 20. Or 18.

I wouldn’t say 20, but like late 20’s maybe!

Dude how can you think she's younger than 40?

Max Zaslove me too.

Ellie Mandy was perfect for Rapunzel and Kristen for Anna so it worked out 🤗

Same with Idina, she also auditioned for tangled

Miss Ordinary that’s awesome, I didn’t know that!

I'm glad because I think Tangled was well cast, and so was Frozen lol.

true but tangled is the better movie

It shows her at the very end of the last episode

Why isn’t this comment higher 🙃

So... did you really watch the show? Lol because she's revealed as

Also me always loved the voice never realised until now that she voiced gossip girl

My thoughts exactly. She's freaking gorgeous!

Ikr

I completely agree,

She looks kind of...odd

that had me shook D:

You mean, like in Japan?

I prefer the original tale tbh

In Germany it is actually called „die Eiskönigin“ which translates to Ice Queen.

Sophia Krieg ice queen is the name of the book its kinda based on. im pretty sure most translations are to ice queen

The movie was supposed to be completely different at first and closer to the original material, with Elsa being the villain. It's based on "The Snow Queen" by H.C. Andersen, who also wrote The Little Mermaid original story.

She has such amazing bone structure!

so bummed she didn't talk about that

Nicholas Chavez ONG

THANK YOU!!!!! i was waiting for that part of the video!

PAWS AND CLAWS

I know! I was so excited to hear her talk about the experience and what it was like working with Cher

AND SERIOUS MOONLIGHT WHICH SHE WORKED WITH MEG RYAN (edit: AND YOU AGAIN) Im so upset

Exactly! I remember the moment I realized Kristen Bell plays Nikki in Burlesque. My mind was blown.

@@ensa89 I didn't even realize it was her till I rewatched Burlesque earlier this year.

@@daisybrianna77 Same. I've seen Burlesque a few times before I was like "who's that actress? She seems familiar." That's when you know someone's good.

I CAME HERE FOR BURLESQUE COMMENTARY AND AM DISAPPOINTED

films by phoebe what does that mean???

@@mariam-ch4in like feedback to improve her performance

Who was she on gossip girl?

@@cheerlovatic1022 GOSSIP GIRL (THE VOICE) !

@@danielsedan OMGGG I NEVER KNEW

gurl talk about screwed

Hollywood is stupid. As a foreigner I never understand why some people complain that actors in the movie are not hot enough. Like... they know that the crucial thing is if they can act, right?

Lol wynona Ryder got told the same, look at the interview where she was told she shouldn't be an actress

Sára Němcová not anymore. People get cast based on how many Instagram followers they have. They want to make sure they get butts in seats.

@@Nazaba09 that isnt true

idkwhatimdoing bro fr sometimes I feel like just last month I was 11 years old singing its soundtracks on top of my lungs while playing Left 4 Dead 2

i-

Omg wait-

I was 5-6 lol, in australia most primary schools have music instead of a bell to line up. Let it go was the music for months and EVERYONE sang it EVERY DAY for SIX MONTHS!!

how havent i realised that, my sister is 7 and was born just before the movie came out lol

And their sanity

there’s no hope for the rest of us if she ain’t considered pretty

Also, their ethics. Who tf says that someone is not "pretty enough" for acting? You could have been less direct AT LEAST

@@davidkonevky7372 That's simply the horrible nature of visual projects. I don't think the producer really meant she isn't pretty, she isn't, at least in the early 2000s, what you would consider conventionally pretty, as well know that Bell is both a great actor and is very pretty. While I agree there is far far better ways to approach that conversation. Such as saying, "you don't have the look we are wanting". Its not necessarily a personal attack as much as straight answer. When casting a character, unfortunately it doesn't just boil down to how good they act, a huge part of if is how they look. Does the actors look support the narrative? It sounds horrible but I've sat down going through actors who have applied and who we will reach out to audition in person for a role. Say we are casting our main lead, male or female doesn't matter, the legitimate conversations often go as follows: "they're too pretty", "hmm maybe a little too odd looking", "I like their look but they're facial features don't align with the script, perhaps we can audition them and see how they are." "Oh I love their look, we'll audition them." "Nah they just kind of look boring". It sounds terrible, but you need to remember that a film is a visual product and you need to use all the tools at your disposal to both sell the product and also support the narrative. As it's a visual medium then discussions around how their talent looks will have to happen. I was never a huge fan of how some people spoke about some actors, but it's extremely hard to avoid when you are considering casting someone.

It’s because she isn’t really that tall or curvy. I mean compare Kristen Bell to Charlize Theron or Elizabeth Banks and I think you’ll see what I mean.

well she’s an actress

It’s so beautiful

i mean, she is comfortable and articulate irl too

After more than 15 years of cameras everywhere you get used to it

You should watch her and other long form interviews with "on camera with Sam jones" on youtube

Me too!

The first movie I’ve seen of her was Grace’s choice and that was back. I think in 2004.

me either!

A part of me wished she would have spent that whole interview talking about the Good Place.

agree 1000000%

We still have Tahani as well as Micheal and Janet. Maybe we can get a spin off with tahani actually starting to design afterlifes, and maybe micheal is her first client. :) you never know

Same

I'm watching it now, im currently in season 4 its one of a kind

LOL sounds like Mila for sure

Sounds like Jackie

I really need to watch that movie

Jari Fuller so worth it!! And a Bad Mom’s Christmas (the second one) the first one is the funniest one though!!

That's something I could see being actual dialogue in the movie

.....that and this pesky pandemic

N C yes, that too

and some of those people might just cast Kristen Stewart instead, like a Kristen mixup

Yeah no kidding let's just stop paying for ventilators and start spreading the word that people need to stop calling Kristen Bell "not pretty enough"!

Imagine that casting person probably isn't working any longer.

noticed that, too! she is very lucky to have projects that have sequels.

Yess!!!

B i hope that it’s good!!

I want the original cast or no gossip girl. it hurts is say this but I just love the original cast.

Zarah Libozada it’s gunna be a reboot on hbo. Different characters as far as I’ve seen.

omfg she was in Gracie's choice???? how did i not notice that?

@@remihauter3578 idk because it was one of her best roles and performances 😩

Omg ME TOO!!!!

xUmbranx Veronica has a cult following, but Gossip Girl was much bigger. Probably for clicks

xUmbranx i dare ya, i doubble dare ya

Came here to say the same thing. Booooooooooo!

I clicked on this video just to make sure this oversight had been commented on!

Literally wtf

Me too, I came here to know that actually.

Agreed!

That's the reason I watched this lol

reason i watched :( just for it not to be in there!

I think its too much of a "risque" movie😂 I actually love that movie and I love her attitude in it. She's so talented and I love that she's helping moms. You can tell that she genuinely likes her job, and isn't just obviously it for the money.

I was thinking just this! Self awareness

QE has a husband older than her, Phil the Greek.

@@zapkvr0101 yeah but Kristen Bell though

@@DeliciousAtomicBomb yeah I know;)

Let’s not forget John Mulaney either

She is the female Paul Rudd.

Yes, if I see her that's the show I think about first.

THANK YOU

i love veronica mars so much omg

SUCH A GOOD SHOW

It's my favorite show ever. I own all the seasons, the movie, and I remember being 7-10 watching it as it aired.

cyan10101 It’s also pretty likely that they only block a certain amount of time with the actor, and then they cue them on what projects to talk about.

Ya it’s a time thing. The actor or actress probably doesn’t have time to spend a couple hours talking about each character they played when they’re doing a press run

Let"s not forget Type C - neither

C - trash

D - Ugly.

Smart?

Huynhgiao P hey hey hey wait, you’re wrong there, no girl on this earth is ugly. i don’t know who forced you to think that any girl was, but really it’s just them in denial of themselves. maybe you’re not the prettiest as some girls you see on TV, but remember that it’s your personality that counts. beautiful personality > “beautiful” looks

Jwanie I think she looks younger than that wow I didn’t realise she was 39

not much if Corona has its way...

It's gonna be incredible

YEAAAAA IKR

Jason segel actually wrote the screenplay for forgetting sarah marshall.

Hungry Like The Vultures hi!

Faye ~ no she can’t! Haha

Kari2025 RIGHT!!!!! LIKE WTFFF

Jennifer Hiemstra have you seen men in Hollywood?

the problem is there’s always going to be prettier, they’re comparing extremely good with the best like everyone does to some extent

"Not pretty enough to play the pretty girl" is a huge difference than just saying 'not pretty enough'. Directors/writers obviously have a vision of something when working on their movie, and if an actress doesn't fit that vision, "not pretty enough for playing the pretty girl" is one way to express it. Not a great way, but one way.

Jennifer Hiemstra dont you talk about chris evans like that

Wish I could like this a million times

They mean ugly- she isn’t ugly enough to play a dork

😂😂😂 love this comment

@@beatrevorharris they probs said this except she didnt wanna reveal this

Right back at ya!

xoxo

@@dessertgirl4103 aww ur a sweetheart

You too :))) thank you

Yes! haha Thank you, wishing you and your loved ones the same as well. Stay safe.

And you could just tell watching that show how much everyone in it just loved what they were doing! The whole thing radiated over and positivity and made me very happy❤️

its not really a reboot, its a whole new cast and everything so more like a spinoff

Addison Neria Lol the cast is already chosen I think they are filming already since last month or earlier

And i think its going to be on hbo

And we also got Mandy as Rapunzel, she did a great job as well

Yea, Mandy Moore was Amazing as rapunzel! And Kristen was perfect for Anna

Cast****** sorry I had to

It was probably edited out for time, sadly... (I know *I'd* watch a longer, uncut, bonus version)

That's exactly what I was thinking. I just restarted it and I love her on it.

I also wanted to hear her talk about burlesque but I guess not... 😂

Katie Edwards me too!

My uncle worked on set for this particular project and he said Kristen talked for almost two hours on that chair with no breaks. She went into full detail about her Gossip Girl tapings and that she only met the main cast during cast parties and such. It’s a shame they edited out so much of her talk.

That movie is so good and it has a great cast!!!

I love “you again”

Penelope Zimmerman there’s this interview with her husband which went something like this “my youngest asked “dad,why do they all know you?” “Oh because im famous” “wait YOU ARE FAMOUS? DOES MOM KNOW?!” “Honey,mom is more famous” “MOM IS FAMOUS TOO?!?” “ yah uhm yah

Cant wait for her children to be angst teen and be shut Up by Kristen telling "I was Verónica Mars"

Or assassins creed.

Yes thank you, I love this movie !

Ariadna Iza or burlesque

or burlesque or you again.... im disappointed

Or Reefer Madness.

I always forget she's coming up to 40. She looks so young and I find myself assuming she's still 20, crazy to think she's closer to my age in my head but is my mum's age in reality 😂

i'm 18 and she looks younger than me

Yeah pretty much every famous actor gets plastic surgery so they never age

@@ebebebeb7283 I don't think she's gotten that much though bc she doesn't look plastic. her face hasn't changed. I was watching Veronica Mars and her facial features are basically the same, but she did age.

whaaaa

It's a reboot. So sadly no original cast members 😭😭😭😭

@@sinchanas76 Not a reboot, spin-off (with the same name). Difference. But easy to understand since Revivals seem to get the wrong reboot label too

I’m thinking of watching the original gossip girl, is it worth it?

@@theo153 What are your likes? I personally find no interest in it, but the most drama I go is Veronica Mars. I'm a Scifi Girl myself and not into Greys Anatomy or 90210 types shows. I heard Gossip Girls is along the lines of Melrose Place and that ilk. It is only worth it if you like that type of show.
