Dax Shepard's biggest hit is a podcast he records in his attic
LOS ANGELES - Dax Shepard, a tired dad who hates waking up in the middle of the night to pee, was floating an idea. Adult diapers: What's the downside?
To explain: The actor is 44 now. He just wrapped the first season of "Bless This Mess," an ABC comedy in which he stars with Lake Bell, and "Spin the Wheel," a game show set to premiere on Fox in June.
With his wife, the also-busy actress Kristen Bell - she just finished filming Hulu's "Veronica Mars" revival and is now voicing Princess Anna for Disney's "Frozen II" and shooting Season 4 of NBC's "The Good Place" - Shepard is a 50-50 parent to their two young daughters, Lincoln, 6, and Delta, 4.
In addition to all this, the couple recently released a line of plant-based baby products with Walmart called Hello Bello - "perfect for your little pooper," reads the diaper packaging - for which they did a promotional blitz that landed them on the covers of Parade and People.
With this household schedule, it is critical that Shepard stay hydrated. He drinks fluids compulsively. As a result, he needs to use the bathroom multiple times at night. But it can take him half an hour or more to fall back asleep. When you add it up, the bathroom trips are really cutting into his REM.
