If you, just like us, binge-watched Netflix’s rom-com series Nobody Wants This almost immediately after it was out, then you know just how palpable Kristen Bell and Adam Brody‘s chemistry is. After all, Brody and Bell’s characters Noah and Joanne had sparks flying since their very first conversation together.
In fact, it wasn’t just the fans who loved the two of them together. Bell’s real-life husband Dax Shepard was in awe too.
Speaking at the New Yorker Festival on Oct. 26, Shepard, who’s been married to the Frozen star since 2013, compared his chemistry with Bell with hers and Brody’s. “Not as good as her and Brody,” he said, per People.
“My friend [and I] watched that scene together, the kissing scene, which I’d argue is the very best kissing scene ever, ever put on film,” Shepard said of the swoon-worthy kiss between Noah and Joanne in episode two of the series.
“And my best friend, Aaron, from childhood, he goes, ‘Does she ever kiss you like that?’ No, I didn’t even know she could kiss like that,” he joked. Looks like Shepard’s a bit jealous!

Previously, Bell herself talked about how she and Shepard were impressed with the chemistry onscreen. “Even I can acknowledge watching it, like, ‘Whoa, that’s hot,’” Bell said in an interview with eTalk. “My husband said the same thing. Like, watching the first episode he was like, ‘Oh my god, I want you to kiss him so badly.’”
“I’m not trying to be reductive, but I think there’s a math to it,” Bell then continued. “You have two actors that know how to stare dopily into each other’s eyes, and you have to have the confidence to expand that and really sit the anticipatory value before the kiss —which I think is really important.”
“Whether or not people want to see you end up with someone is a crap shoot, and we just kind of got lightning in a bottle,” she added.
Looking at the fans’ and Shepard’s own reaction, they did indeed!
