Dax Shepard couldn't play it cool when meeting his idol Jay-Z.
While on First We Feast's famous hot wing-eating show "Hot Ones," Kristen Bell revealed how her husband embarrassed her when he met the hip-hop mogul for the first time at the Met Gala one year.
First Kristen set the scene, detailing how excited she and Dax were when they found out they would be sitting next to Beyoncé and Jay at fashion's biggest night. "When we found this out we were, forget it, we were so excited," she recalled. "And I was like, 'Oh, this is going to be great, finally after tonight, we'll have them in our phones, and we'll be best friends.'"
The Veronica Mars star then explained how she and Dax "maneuvered" the table so Dax would be sitting right next to Jay-Z. However, once the "Mood 4 Eva" rapper was seated, all of Dax's cool and chill went out the window. "Dax talked his ear off and I don't think Jay was that interested," Kristen said before adding that she was "proud" that "he went for broke" and spoke to the person he loves.
"I think at one point [Dax] also hit him with a lyric," she continued. "I think he was like, 'Real recognize real' And I was like, 'Dax, Dax, don't.'"
Kristen's story though is a bit different from the one Dax told James Corden, back in April.
When the 44-year-old actor recalled meeting his "hero," Dax said, "I gave Jay-Z what I would call the platinum package."
"Everything was on the table, jokes, sincerity, admiration, you name it," Dax added. "I gave him like 120 percent and I promise you if we had bumped into each other in the bathroom mid-meal, he’d have no idea I was sitting at his table."
