Kristen Bell has praised her ‘Burlesque’ co-star Christina Aguilera’s commitment for her commitment on set.
The 30-year-old screen beauty – who plays bad girl dancer Nikki in the
musical film alongside Christina and Oscar-winning actress Cher – was
impressed by the studious approach of the singer-turned-actress, who
made her big screen debut in the project.
She told BANG Showbiz: “It made me feel like I had the home court
advantage. It made me feel comfortable. But the reason why Christina is
the way she is, is because she is fearless and she jumps into
everything wholeheartedly and that’s exactly what she did.
“She said, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m here to learn,’ and
that’s exactly what she did, she studied the entire time and was just
wonderful.”
Kristen believes the ‘Dirrty’ hitmaker was perfect for the role of
small-town girl Ali who becomes a dancing and singing star because of
the similarities to her own life.
She said: “Only Christina could have played this. This was about a girl
who knew that she had a gift and it was absolutely necessary that she
shared it with the world. She heard herself sing when she was five
years old and had to share it.”
