Kristen Bell hints at unborn baby's sex

Los Angeles - Kristen Bell has hinted that she might be expecting a baby boy, during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The House of Lies star is expecting her first child with fiance Dax Shepard, and as she discussed her car-fanatic partner's excitement about "all the off-roading he'll have with his tiny partner", she was asked if the traditionally-masculine pursuit meant she was having a son.

To which she replied: "Maybe?"

She then added to Ellen: "Do you have to be a boy to off-road? Absolutely not! I think he's going to force the baby, even if it's a sloth, to off-road."

'Giggly and happy'

The 32-year-old actress also admitted she is open to taking all the pain relief she is offered when she goes into labour.

"I've got nothing to prove by having a natural birth," Kristen said.

"I feel like, when I arrive at the hospital, I want a glass of whiskey, I want the epidural in my back and I want to get hit in the face with a baseball bat and wake me up when it's over because I've seen the videos - and it looks terrifying."

And Kristen also spoke of her pride in her looks at the moment, admitting she feels more attractive than ever.

"I look in the mirror and I think it's the reverse body dysmorphia because I can understand what my shape is, but I see Brooke Shields. And it doesn't make a lick of sense, but it's something that the baby's giving me hormonally makes me feel really giggly and happy," she said.
