The “House of Lies” star tells the talk show host about how a three-toed guest at her 31st birthday caused a “full-fledged panic attack.”

Kristen Bell has made her affection for sloths known during several interviews, but viewers of Tuesday’s Ellen got to know just how deeply she cares for the slow, three-toed animals.

“The day of my birthday, we’re sitting in the living room and I hear a knock at the door,” Bell told host Ellen DeGeneres of her recent 31st spent with fiance Dax Shepard. “He says, ‘Your present is here… I had no context for knowing what it was, but I grabbed the dogs and walk into the back room of the house and I was immediately overcome and I thought, ‘There’s a sloth near.””
Shepard, star of NBC’s Parenthood, did indeed arrange for a sloth to attend Bell’s party. And when he went to tell her about the surprise, video camera in hand, he caught her mid-meltdown.
