Dax Shepard has shared a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Kristen Bell, on social media, just hours before he missed the red carpet at the Actor Awards, where Bell served as host for the third consecutive time.
Shepard's Social Media Posts Hint at Absence
Shepard, 51, took to his Instagram Story prior to the event's red carpet, posting an image that suggested he might not attend. The image displayed a text message with instructions to drink "clear liquids today," overlaid with the hashtag "colonoscopy prep," indicating a medical procedure as the likely reason for his absence.
Promoting Bell's Hosting Role
Despite not being present at the red carpet, Shepard later posted on his Instagram grid, encouraging his followers to watch the ceremony hosted by Bell. In a humorous caption accompanying a promotional image of Bell, he wrote: "CAUTION: DO NOT watch if you're allergic to effortless charm, tasty wit, velvety vocals, world-class mimicry, high-in-tight buns, timeless beauty or Disney-level Adorability."
He added: "Also it may be 'too much' for those with heart conditions. For everyone else, buckle the f*** up!!!" Bell responded in the comments section with: "I looooove you buddy," showcasing their affectionate relationship.
Kristen Bell's Return as Host
Kristen Bell reprised her role as host of the Actor Awards, marking her third time leading the ceremony. The event, held in New York, drew attention from fans and media alike, with Shepard's supportive posts adding a personal touch to the proceedings.
Shepard, known for his role in Parenthood, has often publicly supported Bell's career, and this instance was no different, as he used his platform to promote her hosting duties despite his own absence due to health-related preparations.
