Kristen did an interview for Health Magazine and she is feautured in the January issue. We have found one incredible outtake from the shoot and she just looks so fantastic, you can view it here.
She’s the voice of Gossip Girl, the Sarah Marshall that Jason Segel had trouble forgetting, and the love interest of some surprising suitors in her new movie When In Rome.
But Kristen Bell, 29, has some more tricks up her white cotton J.Crew sleeve: she is not afraid to stand up in a crowded restaurant during breakfast to demonstrate her favorite workout moves, and is so knowledgeable about the caloric and fat content of every food item she mentions, she could be an iPhone App!
Over an egg-white breakfast burrito, the Midwest-born vegetarian—currently two years into her relationship with actor Dax Shepard—chats with Health about everything from Madonna arms (she’s a fan) to the real secret to a happy relationship.
Q: In your upcoming film When In Rome, you fish some coins out of a magic fountain and end up with some unexpected love interests. Have you ever been surprised to like someone you didn’t expect?
A: Not really, because looks don’t matter that much to me, so I kind of give everybody a chance. When I was single, my eyes were always open. There was nobody off the list. When my gut told me to date, I followed it. And sometimes it was someone I never would have picked out of a lineup. I find weird people really interesting. There’s nothing interesting about a normal person.
Q: What is the best and worst part of having a limited diet as a vegetarian?
A: I don’t find it limited at all, I really don’t. For some people it will make you feel great, and for me, it works. I think you have to listen to your body. If you’re eyeing the cheesecake, just have a little bit. Work on being satisfied with one bite and not blacking out and having the entire pie—which I’ve fully done before. I don’t believe in depriving yourself. I think life is too short … and so am I. [laughs]
Q: How do you measure health?
A: I never step on the scale, because I don’t believe weight is a measure of health. I have too many girlfriends who’ve been curvy and voluptuous and healthy in every possible way to take any of that body bullshit seriously. It’s ironic that I would be saying that, because I was blessed with a very fast metabolism. But women that wear womanly curves like [Mad Men's] Christina Hendricks? She is the epitome of sexy to me. She’s got boobs and a butt for days, and she works it. I just think it’s beautiful.
Q: Got any healthy snacking secrets?
