Kristen Bell created Timothée Chalamet face mold for awards hosting gag

Kristen Bell indeed tapped into her creative side while hosting the 2026 Actor Awards.

During the awards ceremony on Sunday (March 1), aired on Netflix, Bell displayed a clay mold of Timothée Chalamet's face, which she eventually bestowed upon Hamnet child star Jacobi Jupe.

Bell affectionately dubbed the quirky creation "Kristen Bell's Actor Awards Sports Championship Trophy." 

To everyone's surprise, the seasoned host of the Actor Awards set about crafting a rough likeness of Chalamet's face all by herself. 

On Wednesday (March 4), Bell released a video on Instagram showcasing her journey from a styrofoam block to a detailed clay representation of Chalamet's features.

"I'm planning to start an Etsy store," Bell announced while adding the final touches to the clay face mold. "For a donation to charity, I can create a clay version of your face, which you can display at your home, especially around Halloween."

"Apparently some actors DON'T make their own props????" she amusingly captioned in her Instagram post.

Bell's craftsmanship earned applause from her friends and admirers in the comments, including Leslie Odom Jr., who simply commented, "SO good!" The official Instagram profile for Etsy, the online marketplace for handmade and unique items, also encouraged Bell to join their platform. "Always a place for you, crafty queen," was their supportive comment.

One crafts enthusiast from New Jersey, known as Maker Megan, commented, "I truly adore whatever quirky charm you have," which led Bell to respond, " this is the greatest compliment I have ever received!"

Bell's face mold trophy added some of the most entertaining segments to the March 1 Actor Awards. 

"You played impressively and truly earned this," she told young Jupe, 12, as she presented the bizarre award on stage. In a deadpan response that drew laughs from the crowd, he said, "It creeps me out."

While Jupe left with the intriguing face mold, the actual Chalamet, 30, did not win at the Actor Awards. 

Sinners actor Michael B. Jordan captured the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role on March 1, surpassing Chalamet in that category.
