Kristen Bell has revealed the sneaky NSFW joke she was able to slip into the Frozen soundtrack.

And once you know what it is, you’ll never unhear it again.

The actress managed to get a cheeky gag into the smash-hit 2013 Disney movie – in one of its most popular songs, no less – via a double entendre that went over many viewers’ heads.

In the song For the First Time in Forever, Kristen’s character Anna sings: ‘For years I’ve roamed these empty halls / Why have a ballroom with no balls?’

You’ll now know exactly what the joke is – hey, we didn’t say it was highbrow.

Now Kristen, 44, has revealed the song lyric was intentionally as juvenile as it was.

‘How did we get that joke in there?’ the Veronica Mars alumnus joked in wonder in a new Vanity Fair interview published on the outlet’s TikTok page.

‘We slid it under the radar,’ she added in a whisper.

She also explained how the movie’s creative team was able to get around the censors’ objections to the potentially offensive play on words by simply denying there was anything unusual about the lyric.

‘It almost didn’t make it in,” Kristen admitted. ‘But then we were like, “What are you talking about? That’s not what it means. Don’t be a perv.”’

After the blockbuster success of Frozen, whose other characters include Kristoff, Sven the reindeer and Olaf the talking snowman, Kristen went on to reprise her role in the equally popular sequel, Frozen II. She has since shared she would love to make a third Frozen movie.

Idina (Menzel, her Frozen co-star) recently said she would do it,’ she told Jimmy Kimmel in 2022, ‘and I feel like if we’re all in, like, what are we waiting for?’

Luckily, they no longer are waiting for the go-ahead after Disney unveiled the first artwork from the anticipated sequel at D23 in August.

And it sounds like we’ll get even more from the beloved franchise after producer Jennifer Lee teased: ‘Coming out of Frozen 2, we still have some questions. A lot of questions actually. Now, you see why we need two films to tell this story.’

Frozen 3 is expected to be released in 2027.
