Wine Situation Final Five

The Wine Situation hosts everyone from winemakers to writers to find out what a person’s situation is…with wine. At the end of each episode host Ellen Clifford phones a friend to ask them The Final Five. This time it’s Bella Crimson, the actor and model (and budding stuntperson) that Ellen has been getting to know on a movie set. They both wish they could tell you more about it…but they signed an NDA. But they’ll tell you all about craft services! Check out the full episode here QUESTION ONE Ellen: Question one, what are you into? What do you like to drink? Bella: I actually prefer wine as of lately. I used to like, you know, hard liquor, but I’ve become a wine fan. Honestly, I don’t think I have a favorite yet, I’m still in the experimenting process, but I’m enjoying wine. QUESTION TWO Ellen: Question number two: in light of the fact that we are actors and sometimes we go to movies, do you have a favorite movie snack? Bella: Well, I feel like you have to go with the classic popcorn. Buttered popcorn specifically, it can’t just be plain popcorn. It has to be the movie butter popcorn, but I do enjoy that at AMC they have pizza bites. I do enjoy those. Pizza is so good and especially during a movie. It’s perfect. I think it’s the perfect snack other than popcorn. QUESTION THREE Ellen: Question number three. You do stunts and Muay Thai, so how do you fuel yourself for intense workouts? Bella: Honestly, usually I just have a big breakfast that contains a good amount of carbs and protein. So I have a bunch of French toast and eggs and I drink a lot of water as well. Afterwards, to keep me going, and to make sure I have some more protein and vitamins, I’ll have a protein shake with fruit, protein powder, spinach, and oatmeal. That helps me get back what I’ve lost during the workout because heavy training takes a lot out of you. I do a berry mixture shake. I use strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and sometimes blackberries. I add peanut butter, vanilla protein powder, spinach, oatmeal, and strawberry Greek yogurt. It’s so good, sweet like candy but like good healthy candy, like if you made candy out of fruit. QUESTION FOUR Ellen: Question number four…crafty versus catering, what do you like better?* *NOTE: on film sets catering provides meals, crafty has the snacks Bella: I will say catering. They are so nice. I feel like they really have gotten to know us. Their cracking jokes at us when we’re in line. They’ll see me eying something and be like “I see you want that” and they’ll put it on the plate. How can I say no? I’m gonna miss this set. QUESTION FIVE Ellen: The last question is just, what’s bringing you joy these days? Bella: The biggest thing is loving myself. I’m in the process right now of falling in love with myself and just being grateful every day, and being compassionate every day, learning how to be more compassionate for others. But being able to love myself, that process is allowing me to be more open to things, which also is allowing me to not just experience joy but also receive it. Loving myself is allowing me to experience more and also to love others. It’s a process. I’m not completely there yet, but I am happy to be where I am versus where I was. *** You can find Bella on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook @bellacrimsonn and her podcast is BELLA standing for Build Elevate Learn Love Accountability is on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
