Before he became a successful actress, Kristen bell had an unusual job. In an interview with The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, the artist revealed that she sold forged documents while studying musical theater at New York University’s (NYU) Tisch School of Arts.
Bell was on the show to promote her children’s book The World Needs More Purple People when Fallon claimed he always pictured her as a good kid. The actress agreed with the comment, but added that “appearances can be deceiving.”
Kristen said she was always a good kid, but her rebellious phase came around the same time she decided to become an entrepreneur. The actress noticed that the ID cards issued in New Jersey in 1998 weren’t of the best quality, so she decided to fake one of her own in her college dorm.
Back then, each forged document cost up to $20, and the target audience was young people under the age of 21, who are considered minors under the country’s legislation. “I sold them to my friends. When you were 19 they checked it out in every bar in NYU and I had to assume they knew because it was a horrible fake ID replica. But they said, ‘I would give you ONE beer with that. And you better get out of here on foot,” he joked. “You do stupid things when you’re a kid.”
At 42, Kristen Bell is an American actress and singer. The artist has had numerous roles in shows such as Veronica Mars (2004) and The Good Place (2016), was the narrator of Gossip Girl (2007) and the voice of Frozen (2013). His most recent work was the Netflix comedythriller miniseries Woman in the Window’s Neighbor (2022), a satire on The Woman in the Window.
