No joke. Look at this spread in the British Esquire that calls Lake Bell "America's Secret." It sounds absurd, but thanks to a strange combination of terrible cross-cultural mishaps ("Childrens Hospital" is unavailable, "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy" went straight to DVD, no UK critics noted "How to Make It in America"), they've been missing out on all the semi-nudity (and occasional real nudity) this hilarious and talented 32-year old has to offer. Thank goodness Esquire finally decided to do something about that!
However, all they really did was grab a few outtakes from her Me In My Place shoot, run them through Instagram, and send them off to print. We're not knocking them for doing so; this was an emergency, after all.
On another note, what are we giving up by letting the rest of the world know about Ms. Bell's beautiful bod? What if she chooses another country over us? We fear rejection from women we ogle from afar. (Sigh.)
