Dax Shepard and Justin Timberlake have something in common when it comes to their kids: They need them to keep their parent’s animated roles a secret. On his podcast, Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, the Without a Paddle actor shared a story about how he told his two daughters, Lincoln, 7, and Delta, 6, to keep their family ties to Frozen quiet.

The girls' mom is Frozen voice star Kristen Bell and during a community-based theatrical rendition of the popular Disney film, Shepard wanted to keep that connection a secret. “I had to tell my daughters, I’m like, you cannot tell anyone in this thing that your mom is Princess Anna,” Shepard recalled in his podcast. “And I know you’re proud, and you should be able to say that, but I’m just warning you that will probably make other kids jealous and they won’t know how to handle that feeling.”

Timberlake shared how he and his wife Jessica Biel are trying to raise their two children, Silas, 5, and newborn Phineas, out of the spotlight. “We have the same thing where the kids at school with my 5-year-old are like, ‘Your dad is Branch from Trolls,’" Timberlake told Shepard. "I guess for guys like us, the hope is that we just keep instilling in them that we've got really fun jobs, but it's not who we are.”

Shepard bonded with Timberlake over trying to protect their children and keep them out of the spotlight. They both want to keep their kids as grounded as possible and out of the public eye because we all know how crazy the paparazzi can get. He revealed that Bell also worries that their high-profile careers may affect their daughters' friendships at school. 

“I have great fear that kids are going to hang out with them solely ’cause of that, or resent them because of that,” the actor said. “To me, the two options both seem terrible. Either they’re going to have fake friends, or they’re going to have people who hate them for no reason. Yeah, so I have a good deal of fear about that.”
