Kristen Bell Reacts to Leighton Meester's Surprise Casting on 'Nobody Wants This'

Gossip Girl here, confirming these two former costars are ready to be back in action.

Following Netflix’s announcement that Leighton Meester will team up with husband Adam Brody, along with Gossip Girl narrator Kristen Bell, for season 2 of Nobody Wants This – where she reprises her role as the antagonist of Kristen’s character Joanne – Kristen shared her thoughts on this exciting news.

In an exclusive chat with TopMob News at the Annual Power of Love Gala in Las Vegas on February 22nd, Leighton Meester, who was once part of Frozen, shared that she would be gracing us with her attendance. She hinted that this appearance will be enjoyable because there’s no animosity between them off-screen, as they are not each other’s adversary. Don’t forget to catch more from the gala tonight at 11 p.m. on TopMob News.

In reality, there’s no ill feeling between them off-screen. In fact, Leighton and Kristen collaborated during the SAG Awards on February 23rd, where Kristen was the host – a moment that paid tribute to their shared past on the show “Gossip Girl”.

In the narrative, Kristen assumed the personas of both the secretive gossip blogger and the queen bee, Blair Waldorf, as she shared juicy tidbits about the attendees of the SAG Awards, information that was whispered to her by none other than Blair herself.

To put it another way, Kristen asserted that “Jeff Goldblum from Wicked has an insatiable hunger, and when we look closely, we find out he enjoys his eggs green with ham.

However, as she started to declare that “A Complete Unknown” featured Timothée Chalamet, Kristen suddenly halted, finding herself next to a “medium rare steak with peppercorn sauce.

Adam and Leighton, who tied the knot in 2014 and have two children together, are set for another joint venture on the project “Nobody Wants This.” Previously collaborating on films such as “The Oranges,” “Single Parents,” and “River Wild,” this new collaboration promises to be another remarkable team-up.

As Adam told TopMob News in January, “We always like to work together when it comes up.”

Hold up, Leighton, let me clarify, this isn’t about idle chatter, it’s more like a culinary conversation, if you will. As the lens zeroed in on us amidst the crowd, I wanted to make that clear. It’s all about nourishing our bodies and minds.

Leighton couldn’t suppress a chuckle as she was caught in the trick. “I apologize,” she confessed, momentarily stuffing a bread roll into her mouth, “but I must admit, I’m extremely famished.

The humorous scene underscores the fact that Leighton’s role in “Nobody Wants This” – where Adam portrays Rabbi Noah and falls for Kristen’s character, Joanne – is bound to be a performance everyone will eagerly anticipate.

Working together again, Adam and Leighton – a couple married since 2014 with two children – will join forces once more on the project “Nobody Wants This.” Having previously collaborated on shows like “The Oranges“, “Single Parents“, and “River Wild“, this new venture promises another remarkable team-up.
