- Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell don't seem like a good match on paper, and Dax thought the same thing when they first met, but he explains what it was that made such an unlikely pair work so well.

thumbs up for dax not giving a romantic and cheesy answer which is what people usually do, and being honest.
I thought that was totally romantic!
He questioned it, realized who she is and how amazing she is, realized she did the same with him, they both kept much of their good qualities but both gave each other strength and both improved being together more than being apart, and realized they fit. And he raised she's the only one who didn't tell him he's not enough as he is, nor did he do that to get.I think it's all totally romantic.
romantic and cheesy response on Dax's birthday show on Ellen, in case you haven't seen it yet.....

So true ...like what a beautiful way to describe his relationship...instead of token dross we usually hear
wabisabi wabisabi thats why ppl like him and kristen theyre very real for celeb ppls i think
Dax's self awareness is enviable. What a great guy.
Theres nothing enviable of self awareness..that just make you a more anxious and depressed person.
Yes 100%
Is enviable a good thing? lmao Oh my goodness gracious.
@@juliang-c4882 Thank you. I am painfully self aware. I would say it makes me kinder and more thoughtful, but also super anxious because I am constantly analyzing and processing everything I do. I've actually tried a few medications to ease it off will little success.
His recovery gave him that.
They are so emotionally intelligent with their relationship. Neat people.
What does that even mean?
Break it down: intelligent with their emotions. They don’t live a false fairy tale! I loved Galaxie Girls comment!!!
@@zapkvr that they approach their relationship from a sence of intellect and rationality, rather than being petty and irrational like most people's shitty relationships.
Spot on!!!!!
Actually, I think they really hate each other. Over the last year their dislike of each other is becoming more and more apparent to the point where I can't even imagine that they even love each other as they are always talking shit about each other and veiling their hatred for each other in the words "we are just being real" or "showing the not pretty side". They seem like super miserable people.
sooooo what you're saying is, Dax Shepard = Eleanor Shellstrop, Kristen Bell = Chidi
Matthew Davis 😂😂 basically.
I really hope this comment get a hell of a lot more likes, it deserves it 😂
What?
Fair Enough.
This comment is AWESOME!
Also coild be Kristen is Anna and Dax is Kristoff
I am so happy they found each other. Two people so level headed that can understand people are individuals even in a partnership.
I get what you're saying, but I feel like when they talk about each other it's so clinical & matter of fact. It doesn't seem like passionate love.
Coupled with the fact that they have both talked about breaking up (and did) and how they weren't even sure they wanted each other, it's not the best love story.
@@FLdancer00 life isn't a Disney movie glad they're honest because it means there's something to stick it out for otherwise they wouldve broken up permanently. Life isn't always Disney like but they love and communicate well and that's all that matters
@@FLdancer00 Prince William and Kate broke up too and were not sure if they wanted to be togethet forever but look at them now together and seemingly happy .. not even real life princesses have perfect fairy tales as they are just that fairytales
how can you be glad over a couple of people whose life has no meaning whatsoever in your real life? it's not like they know you or care about you. this is insane.
@@FLdancer00 Also they have talked about how monogamy isn't for them, kind of weird in a committed marriage.
I encourage anyone who hasn’t already, to listen to Dax’s Armchair Expert podcast. I can’t really explain how a podcast has brought me so much insight and knowledge.... it’s pretty incredible and obviously so entertaining. I didn’t know much about him but man, he is such an intellectual person who makes you think in ways you never thought to.
Thanks I will definitely check it out
Can I ask where you can listen to the podcasts? Also, any podcast/s in particular you really recommend?
@@paula9197 I listen to it on iTunes but I think you can listen to it where ever you listen to podcasts.
@@paula9197 i use Stitcher, its a free podcast app
@@tupd Cool thank you!
Really enjoyed listening to him talk about that, cheers.
I feel like the two of them talking so openly about their relationship in these interviews is a pretty clear indication that they have very good communication WITHIN their relationship. Like, it's generally much easier to talk so bluntly to other people about the rougher, more inglorious aspects of love if you've already talked about, opened up and been vulnerable about the same subjects with your own partner a million times.
As well as a Genuine Friendship
Well said, totally agree...
This is the most honest interview I've ever seen. He's being so vulnerable and specific with what he improved on. I am naturally like Kristin and my ex called me naive and gullible at the beginning. He thinks everyone secretly is always trying to manipulate others.
It's always good to trust people, but you can be too trusting. That's why this pair works so well together. You can also be too cynical and that's where balance becomes the key component.
Haha. "Do I want to be with a Christian who has 8 people living in her house for free?" Tough sell.
And then the kicker: "I thought she let people take advantage of her...but she's getting ahead and doing better than me."
Those 8 people are like 😐
@@adams6438 That's what I was thinking!
I wonder who those 8 people are or were to her. That's a deal breaker for me.
@@lunagabriella213 They're still really good friends, you can hear a bit about it in Dax's podcast with Ryan Hansen if you're interested :)
Sam Jones is an incredible interviewer, very social and receptive without wanting to steal the show. I think because of his background being a portrait photographer, these conversational interviews are integral to painting a picture of his subject. It's a lot more compassionate and about listening rather than interrupting mid sentence.
So true! My boyfriend and I have a relationship kind of like this. We're both nomadic travelers, and were before we met. Now we travel together and he jokes that it's like I walk in a different world than he does. Everyone is nice to me and I've never felt in danger. And now that we travel together he can see that even though I naively trust that everything will be okay, it always is okay. Like a self-fulfilling prophecy. I keep expecting the best of the world, and it keeps getting delivered back to me.
Note: Just to be clear. I do believe a healthy level of caution and careful thinking is necessary. I definitely avoid putting myself in dangerous situations. You can live optimistically, and still be smart about it.
Love it! My boyfriend and I are the same lol. Self-fulfilling prophecy, truly!
I know of someone who had that same attitude that if she always treated strangers with kindness she'd be okay, but then on one of her solo adventures she was gang-raped by 8 people and murdered in India. So I think it's definitely better to live life with a positive attitude than a negative one, but it's also important to try to assess the environments you find yourself in and be aware of potential dangers. Good luck to you.
@@outofabook That is really heartbreaking about that innocent girl. May she rest in peace. Yes, the world has lowest of the scum types of people and unfortunately, we do have to be vigilant about what situations we put ourselves in. Most people are good though and caution is always sensibly practised.
It DEFINITELY wont always be okay. Dont just blindly subscribe to that assumption! I know that life feels beautiful for you, and your impulsivity has been repaid many times by life treating you good, but please be wary on the road. Ive worked as a researcher in the investigative department of a large newspaper in my country, one of the most peaceful in the world. And I can tell you, the stories Ive heard through my work, even in a country as safe and free as mine...we’re talking, girl on her third tinder date feels unwell after dinner, blacks out and wakes up on a plastic sheet with the patrick bateman like dude she was on a date with getting ready to torture and dismember her. She escaped and called the police but that girl will never trust again. And I have loads of stories like that. Hell, two girls on an adventure with the same trusting, naive attitude got their heads cut off JUST THE OTHER DAY in a tent on a vacation in morocco for no reason whatsoever. So no, it wont always be okay. Chances are youll be fine no matter what, but the small chance there is doesnt leave much room for a mistake.
@Side Shooter happens everywhere, but yes india should talk about it more in politic
I’ve been single for awhile now and I’ve went back and forth with this woman who is amazing but irritates me in some ways. Trying to get her to change for me just doesn’t work and Iam happy it doesn’t. I found a new love and it comes right back at me. It’s unconditional. Unlike I have been to her. What I’m trying to say here is that I really agree with Dax. You’ve gotta agree to love the person without trying to change them. You move forward with the person, not work against them.
I agree with you except there is no unconditional love, except from your dog. Don't try and ask too much of humans. We're not as good as dogs.
@jigyoda Youre both right. That was a poor choice of words. Love comes from(even fractionally) what you put in. Love is inherently conditional. You find something that means something to you and put yourself into it, and deal with and accept the reaction. If you feel you still wanna be there, thats the condition. Though im willing to be checked if im wrong.
My mother told me years ago that it doesn't matter how unattractive a guy is, there's still a part of his brain that believes he has a shot with the hottest girl around. Until now I'd never heard it acknowledged by a human male. Kudos to Dax for the self-awareness!
Isn’t that amazing because women don’t think that way at all 😂if a man is out of our league we accept it for what it is
@@raindropsonroses3919 that is a lie.
Proof of that are love stories, fan fiction, romantic movies specifically aimed at women, etc.
There is ALWAYS a part of you that wants to be the leading lady of your dream guy.
This is such a great segment. When he said, I usually turn people into who I want them to be and then I don't like them... "yes!
I love how honest people can be. I truly enjoy authenticity and how life isn't perfect but more of a journey of finding your people - including your life partner.
That bell tattoo on his ring finger
You get what you give Kristen well done!
OMG! This is the first interview I've seen on this channel. So honest. It's like being on a therapist's couch. And when you get up - the world looks like a better place!
What Dax Shepard describes around 0:40 is actually the standard for people with narcissism issues. Narcissism in born in shame. It's like thinking you are simultaneously defective and unlovable AND special. I know because I used to have extremely low self-esteem and also a lot of narcissistic tendencies. My therapist helped me understand the root causes. A lot of healing for me has come from acknowledging my flaws and believing (consciously and subconsciously as best I can) that they do not make me unlovable.
This is possibly the most authentic ‘celebrity’ interview I’ve ever seen, so powerful and inspiring with such truth, that is a relationship right there, we mirror we learn we heal and we evolve.. beautiful ❤️ x x
This is the best love advice ever
They will last not because he loves her, it's the fact that he respects her so much
This was such an unbelievably honest answer. I loved every minute of it because it applies to soo many relationships
Lots of admiration for the interviewer for allowing him to speak, but my goodness!! I'm so impressed by him❤❤ . They are such a beautiful couple.
It just reminds you what an amazing actor this woman is also. Such a sweet, kindhearted person who plays some of the most bad-ass, cut throat characters.
Wow wow wow. This was so good for so many reasons. I cannot help but have SO much respect and love for this couple, I don’t even know. God bless them on their journey. It obviously hasn’t been easy, but they’ve chosen to say yes to each other again and again.
I love this. This is what they mean by “opposites attract”. I love my boyfriend because he is so different from me and I will continue to grow and learn new things from him, hopefully, for the rest of our lives ❤️
Wow...this was very eye opening. I love Dax and Kristen. Dax is a very interesting guy. Very relatable. Much respect.
Wow...great interview...great interviewer..and Dax seems like a very self aware down to earth person. I knew there was a reason that Kristen Bell always seemed like a person I'd actually want to know. What a great couple they make!
I'm impressed with how open Dax is. I do know where he's coming from on his life-changing relationship with Kristen, I've been lucky enough to experience the same phenomena. I am so lucky, for 38 years now, Iv'e been a caring human-being thanks to the love of my life. She literally remade me, just with her eternal caring and love for me.
In my opinion, he described himself like someone who has narcissistic personality disorder in the beginning. The whole not good looking, low self-esteem, but extreme confidence arrogance about dating woman NPD. I think it was a joke wrapped in a bit of truth. Russel Brand is the same way. Russel is a little more eccentric. They both went from being addicts and womanizers to husbands and father that are REAL MEN. This was because he worked thru his issues and anxiety about what he might find out about himself if he were to actually become self-aware and gain insight. This allowed him to grow and become the person he is supposed to be. Hmmm, a good woman opened his eyes if only a lot more men and woman in Dax's position would do what he did. Learn from their partner instead of being envious. I guarantee you she saw the man he is now, the man he is supposed to be in him when she met him. She was honest and open about her issues and it gave him strength instead of vindication because of envy. Fortunately for both of them, he wanted to be that man and be as honest, whole and good as she is. That's love. Being with someone who makes you want to be a better person AND lifts you up with emotional support and believes in you when you don't even believe in yourself. Pushes each other to be the best versions of themselves, with love and support, not constant criticism. "Prides a crutch for the insecure" Dax swallowed his pride and became secure with himself. You can't do that unless your willing to be self-aware and Honest so you actually learn who you are. Then you let the dead parts burn off, the parts of you that were stuck in the past from not dealing with emotional wounds, this way you can fully grow into your authentic self. It's scary but worth it. Peter Pan never wanted to grow up. The whole shadow thing that's about him not wanting to be self-aware. Don't be afraid of your shadow the only way to go is up as in growing up and into your true, full, self.
I can 100% relate to what he is saying about Bell. I couldn't stay with someone like that tho. Think he is also missing the point as to why so many good things come to her, it has nothing to do with WHO she is and all to do with WHAT she is.
Gotta respect his honesty. Look how she helped him become a better person. I love them both so much!
I absolutely love Dax. I have been listening to his armchair podcast too. It’s like he says everything I’m thinking. Every time I see an interview with him he gets better. More dudes and women should emulate him. His self deprecating ways are what make him so great...
Omg my bfs birthday is the day after Dax’s and this sounds exactly like our relationship. Not to be controlled by each other in any way and we just kindof evolve into a better person. I’ve never once told him how he should change and only give advice when he is just going to do it his way anyway so now he’s learning how to consider that someone else’s opinion might be wiser than his. Capricorn men are so like insightful and mentally stinted at the same time but are actually every sensitive and insecure if they open up to you. Almost broke up with me because I was “to good for him” 😂This was 💯 on point.
Exactly how Capricorn males are...and I'm a Gemini so I drive him crazy but in a good way😊
@@profmj7630 lol I’m an Aquarius ♒️ 😂 air game
@@spiritualempress6691 OMG didn't know I was an air sign...but after looking it up - so me. Probably why the Capricorn loves us yet we freak them out too! I love how stable and grounded he is - predictable!
@@profmj7630 haha yeah someone explained it to me like Capricorn’s let you go to outer space and have your adventures but when you’re ready to come back to earth their home. They’re actually very sensitive when they open up. If you listen to him and Kristen talk about opposite they are they’re literal polar opposites as she’s a Cancer 😂
There's a vulnerability in marriage that is precious. If you can fall in love, that's great. That's the easy part. Now learn each other. Learn to be vulnerable. Learn respect and comprise.
Now you are ready for a commitment.
And that ladies and gentlemen is how we should all live! God Bless the both of them!
Kirsten is as good as it gets. She's a wonderful down to earth, loving, caring and funny woman.
Dax's career peaked with that Sam's Club movie with Dane Cook. Nice job snagging a much cooler woman than he deserves, though.
I could listen to this guy all Day. He's unique for sure
A lot of us women think we don't want that kind of intense honesty, but when men approach us with it we need to appreciate it, even if we don't like it. Because these are the guys who don't want to lie to you.
I love Dax's brutal honesty...no BS!! I adore that he has no need to pretend his life and marriage are perfect. Much appreciated!
A loving man that's wants to do right. Amen Dax. Thank you!.
I never knew he had a bell on his ring finger. Love it.
Edit: wow is he really this narcissistic?
They're incredible together, they’re to honest to each other and about the relationship
this show is filling the void in me left behind after the end of inside the actors studio. good job.
He's such an interesting guy. And this is a great interview!
Wow.
Sometimes the best witnessing is just show them the path by the way you live and how you are and what fruits do you get from being a loving, kind human being
People look at it and want that
I heard it said once (and it impressed me) that people know you not by the way you talk, but by the way you walk. Too, there is the fact (as demonstrated in the conversation here) that we can effect how our lives turn out just by having the right attitude. Instead of demanding attention, give attention! A movie based on the reality of the relationship between these two opposites (Dax and Kristen) wold be marvelously uplifting!
holy crap...that just autoplayed randomly and actually helped me immensely....wtf possibly changed my life. Everything he just said about himself is an exact summary of me emotionally. I ether did not want to admit it or lacked the honesty to express it. On top of that, pretty sure I've messed up and lost a few Kristen Bells in the bent ego process. Maybe not next time, hope there is a next time. thanks Dax Shepard!
Oh WOW!! His answer is EVERYTHING!!! I love this, I've Always liked her & them 2gether!! How many of us can say or aspire to this example?!
Honesty is refreshing !
Excellent interviewing. Subscribed.
I think the interviewer went to get coffee during that long answer...
The approach that he had while thinking if he wanted to be with her, it's the way people should go through relationships.
People are often too worry about if they are fit for someone, forgetting what the other person could bring to their lifes.
WOW!!....this is one of the most phenomenal things I've seen. So so so much rich stuff right here. 👌👌
This interview sold me on this. I appreciate it.
This made my heart so happy.
"She's the first person I dated I made a real conscious decision that I wasn't gonna try to make her into the person I wanted to date because I know what happens when I try to make them the person that I want to date. I don't end up liking that person." wow
Long story short. Successful relationships grow when two people bring out the best versions of themselves in one another -Without having to ask. :) love this!
“Look at this photograph- every time I do it makes me laugh”-
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who saw the resemblance lol
You know he is in AA. The way he speaks. He is very honest and aware of himself.
This was an amazing interview
I love this couple. One of my favorite movies is Hit & Run.
It was interesting to hear him be so honest, at first I was like ‘woah wait what... where’s he going with this?’ But he managed to give no BS about his real feelings & not be an asshole too lol
Love this answer. It is so grounded in real life and shows what a good honest deep relationship can do for somebody. None of that surface crap.
Live Dax. What a wonderful example of what REAL relationships should aspire to be. Not changing each other, but through observation and seeing results in the others behavior we change ourselves. Brilliant!
Their relationship is so healthy though
I never really liked Dax Shepard that much but here I think he’s a really thoughtful and self-aware guy. Kristen Bell is lucky. They’re both lucky.
If I could give this a million thumbs up I would! I love you Dax Shepard....and Kristen too!
I love the pure honestly in this.
I loved loved this! At 33 this is what I describe as love...two people who are truly themselves and inspire the other person to be better and to see different viewpoints. Once you try to push the other person to be something different it just doesn’t work
He s great. " She didnt wanna change me", "I dont try to make her mi ideal women"
Jenna Dewan had a similar situation where channin wasn't serious with her and she had to give him an ultimatum. Sometimes it's a red flag. Sometimes if a guy tells you that he is not serious with u he really means it. If he breaks up with u too many times then huge red flag. If a guy doesn't want u once they don't want u ever.
He's a really smart dude, i really wanna be his friend have beer or something
He is the honest human we need in this society
Sam Jones.....always MORE than "just a photographer". Another fine interview and finished product.
I'm not sure I like what I'm hearing here
They are the only power couple that could rival John Krasinski and Emily Blunt for me. And this interview just makes it better. Sounds like the most natural way to fall in love
I hung off everything Dax said. It’s amazing because someone like Kristen is who I’m like and who I’d want to be with. Yet listening to Dax, I’m drawn to him because of his raw honesty and incredible self-awareness especially how he prefaced his answer beforehand to tie in with the ending “well you’re right…it was a little off putting” 😂
Beautiful!!
I think that while I don't agree with all they do, I mean can anyone agree with everyone does, I love how they are together. They are not perfect but they are a fairly good example of what happens when you don't give up and you keep caring about the other.
Dax Shepard is slowly turning into Jeff Bridges.
This guy is the epitome of down to earth
he really is great
Love Dax and his honesty and self awareness.
I just gained so much respect for him. What an honest person. I’m happy he found her. It’s so romantic. I wish I could find a great gal like her. I just thought she was a pretty face. A very pretty face. Something about her eyes.
SHE BORE FRUIT CUZ JESUS IS HER VINE
Actually, he was still dating other women without Kristen knowing, then he left her and contacted her after 4 days... It looks like she was more of a plan B and that he wanted someone else instead but it didn't work out.
I identify with Dax so much, because that was me when I was dating my now husband, I'm more of a don't give a fuck type of person, are these people hurting me?, no problem cut them out of my life, family or not, and my husband gives it all for the people around him, he's heart driven, and there was a point in my relationship were I questioned if a relationship with him was going to work, He was all the things I wasn't and needed to be.
That was honest and lovely.
I will say sometimes the more you give of your time, money and help the more you get back
Personal flaws are much more sympathetic when ppl are self aware!
I love him and the mindset he has about life and his wife.
That was a beautiful insight into their relationship.
Wow love this guy. Very real. Appreciate his honesty
This channel is my therapy
That's such a testament to how being generous and believing that being a good person is good just for the sake of it will bring you rewards from God
Im SO thankful for this video, i cant explain it.
