    Kristen Bell feels "more whole" after taking a break from acting

    The 44-year-old star - who has daughters Lincoln, 11, and Delta, nine, with her husband Dax Shepard - has reflected on her decision to spend some time at home being a mother before returning to her career with new Netflix series 'Nobody Wants This'


    Asked if she thinks the break was good for her, she told new! magazine: "I really do.

    "I don't really know how to described it, but I do feel different. I feel more whole, if that makes sense."

    Kristen is "excited to be back" and working on a creative project, particularly one like 'Nobody Wants This', which tells the story of sex podcaster Joanne (Bell) and single rabbi Noah Roklov (Adam Brody), who fall in love despite the differences between them.

    She explained: "I took a break. It's been a couple of years of mostly staying home, being a mom and raising my kids.

    "They are that little bit older now and I have more time, so I'm excited to be back, to be creative again and to be part of something as positive as this.

    "As soon as I read the script I knew this was the perfect project to come back with."

    The 'Good Place' star was drawn in by the idea of making something so unique.

    She said: "I just loved how different it was. I haven't seen anything like this for a long time. It's a beautiful rom-com involving two people who could not be more different.

    "They have this extreme chemistry from the moment they meet and it's really a question of how they handle that.

    "This isn't a love story about two gorgeous 21-year-olds. They are older, they have cultural differences, they miscommunicate but they still have this special connection."
