John Stamos once dished that he passed up on the opportunity to date Kristen Bell. In an appearance on Dax Shepard’s podcast, “The Armchair Expert,” the “Full House” alum told the story of how a colleague wanted to set him up with Bell back in the early 2000s.
“I was freshly divorced. There was some award show or party or afterparty or something,” Stamos recalled. “And my press agent says, ‘There’s this girl that wants to meet you. You gotta meet her. She’s in the theater. She’s fun. You guys would be great together.'” And the girl in question? “It was Kristen,” he said. Shepard appeared surprised by the revelation and thought how “great” it would have been if the two ended up giving it a shot. But Stamos said he believed he was too old for Bell (at 17 years her senior), so he turned the offer down.

As fate would have it, Bell would later meet Shepard a few years after the supposed set-up with Stamos. And funnily, it wasn’t love at first sight. “The only thing I remember is that he talked so much. … There were no sparks whatsoever,” the “Bad Moms” star shared with “Today.” They saw each other at a hockey game again a few weeks later, and the rest, as they say, is history.
