"I had just gotten out of a long-term relationship two months prior. And in retrospect, I realize [Dax] had just gotten out of a long relationship. We were sitting at a table. The only thing I remember is that he talked so much."
Kristen also joked that she had no idea who Dax even was and said, "I'm like, 'Is that one of the guys from Jackass or something?' And then we left. There were no sparks whatsoever."
