Kristen Bell takes snacks with her when she travels abroad — because she is afraid of eating foreign food.
The American actress shot scenes for new movie Couples Retreat in Bora Bora, a French Polynesia island, and was so nervous about trying the local cuisine she packed her own provisions.
“I do travel with a lot of snacks,” she said. “I was concerned about the food in Bora Bora, and so I packed a lot. I like knowing what I’m eating. I don’t like mystery dishes.”
Among the items she took were granola bars and butterscotch-flavored desserts.
“I knew that all I needed was water and a mini-fridge, both of which I had in Bora Bora — in my contract,” she said. “I made little dishes of pudding, and we had them for dessert.”
The 29-year-old actress was happy to share her treats with costars Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau, Kristin Davis and Malin Akerman — but soon realized she had been a little too generous with her snacks.
“By the end, I had cleared my fridge out and I was literally bribing Jason’s wife Amanda to give me their daughter Franny’s Cheerios,” she said.
Couples Retreat is about four couples who go on vacation and end up taking part in therapy sessions.
