Kristen Bell recently shared a surprising moment during a special SiriusXM Town Hall Series with her co-stars from “Nobody Wants This.” The actress, known for her role as Anna in Disney’s “Frozen,” was taken aback when Andy Cohen revealed that his son, Ben, who is just six years old, has a strong aversion to Elsa, the character voiced by Idina Menzel.
Cohen disclosed, “My son hates Elsa so much,” leaving Bell visibly shocked and exclaiming, “What?” He went on to explain that Ben is a huge fan of Bell’s character, Anna, and could not understand why Elsa was viewed differently. “He is the biggest Anna fan,” Cohen said, further discussing his son’s controversial perspective. Despite Cohen’s attempts to clarify his son’s strong feelings – stating that Elsa is “horrible” in Ben’s eyes – Bell remained confused and asked for an explanation that was never provided, as the conversation shifted back to formal interview proceedings.
Cohen, who became a father via surrogacy in February 2019, recently expanded his family with the birth of his daughter, Lucy, in April 2022. Meanwhile, the “Frozen” franchise continues to thrive, with the original film released in November 2013 and its sequel premiering in November 2019, both captivating audiences with their heartwarming stories of sisterhood and self-acceptance. A third film is currently in development and is set to be released in November 2027, continuing the legacy of this beloved animated series.
This playful exchange highlights how the dynamics of favorite characters can differ even among young audiences, reminding fans and parents alike that everyone has their own unique perspectives on beloved stories.
