Kristen Bell: I am so clumsy

18th October 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kristen Bell says physical comedy comes easily to her as she can barely stay on a chair without tumbling.

The 30-year-old actress is best known for playing the title role in hit US television series Veronica Mars from 2004 to 2007, although she has also had a successful career in stage and musical productions before that.

Kristen loves throwing shapes, although she admits she can sometimes be quite clumsy when shooting physical sequences for movies, meaning they can become unnecessarily comedic.

"The lucky thing for me is that I can pretty much let it happen," she is quoted as saying. "Whether you want it in the scene or not you're going to get it. I can barely stay on a chair without falling off. I also trip a lot. I'm not very elegant so physical comedy comes easy for me."

Kristen is going back to her musical roots in upcoming movie Burlesque alongside pop stars Cher and Christina Aguilera, with Kristen portraying Nikki, the lead dancer at a nightclub where Christinas character Ali Rose lands a job.

The movie is eagerly anticipated as it features Christinas first cinematic role as a small-town girl who moves to Los Angeles to work in a neo-burlesque venue run by Chers character Tess. (C) Cover Media
