14 DAY TRIAL // Kristen Bell is crazy for sloths and, for once, this isn't just a way of saying that she loves them. She's really “crazy” about them and is so obsessed with them that she can't stop crying whenever she sees one. We even have proof.
The actress was on Ellen DeGeneres the other day where, among other things, she talked about the amazing present her fiancé Dax Shepard gave her for her 31st birthday.
Video of the entire interview, including Kristen's reaction to the present, is bellow, embedded at the end of the article.
The star recalls how, that day, Dax had already warned her that she would get a present no other woman had received in her life, but he did not want to tell her what that was.
At one point, there was a knock on the door and he told her to take the dogs and go in the back room, so he could set up the surprise: her present had just arrived.
All (emotional) hell broke loose from that moment.
“I immediately was overcome and I thought, 'There's a sloth near, it's close, it's gonna happen.' And I didn't know how to process that, because my entire life had been waiting for this moment,” she says about realizing she was about to meet a sloth for the first time.
Kristen also points out to Ellen that she's very emotional and cries whenever she gets too excited, which was clearly the case on her birthday.
“If I'm not between a three and a seven on the emotional scale, I'm crying,” she explains, laughing.
“I was sitting on my bed, knowing that my sloth is here, and I start to have a full-fledged panic attack. I don't know how to compete with all this emotion so I just kind of crawl up on the bed and I'm crying so hard,” Kristen says.
Dax found her that way, when he came to get her to see the present – and he even videotaped her like that.
Perhaps in a bid to prove that Kristen's reaction wasn't staged on that particular occasion, Ellen tells her they have a sloth on set too, so she's going to meet it after the break.
The moment she hears that, she's in tears – just check out the video below if you don't believe us. It's funny and yet very touching at the same time.
