"To some fans, Dax Shepard and his fiancee Kristen Bell may seem like an odd couple. And in a new interview with Playboy magazine, Shepard is the first admit that they were -- in the beginning.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Kristen&amp;apos;s a good girl. She grew up very Christian, went straight to college, did great in school and started work immediately. She&amp;apos;s charitable and philanthropic and rescues dogs. So when we met, our backgrounds were opposites,&amp;quot; Shepard, 37, told Playboy. &amp;quot;All the things I&amp;apos;d done were terrifying to her, and she had a hard time believing I would ever be able to stay married and monogamous and a father and all those things. For the first year and a half we were together that was what we battled over almost weekly.&amp;quot;\r\nPHOTOS: Odd couples\r\nWhat kinds of things did Shepard do that scared his bride-to-be?\r\n&amp;quot;I just loved to get f---ed-up&amp;#x2014;drinking, cocaine, opiates, marijuana, diet pills, pain pills, everything. Mostly my love was Jack Daniel&amp;apos;s and cocaine,&amp;quot; Shepard recalled. &amp;quot;I lived for going down the rabbit hole of meeting weird people. Of course, come Monday I would be tallying up all the different situations, and each one was progressively more dangerous. I got lucky in that I didn&amp;#x2019;t go to jail.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nShepard and Bell, 32, have been engaged for over two years. And although the Hit and Run costars seem like complete opposites, Shepard argues that that&amp;apos;s exactly why people should be happy for their relationship.\r\n&amp;quot;Here&amp;apos;s the funny thing about the response I&amp;apos;ve been aware of to my dating famous people: It&amp;apos;s been very negative. I&amp;apos;m either not good-looking enough, not a good enough actor or not successful enough for these people,&amp;quot; the Parenthood actor said. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s ironic, really. Guys should be excited that I got Kristen Bell. If Brad Pitt gets Kristen Bell, it&amp;apos;s like, &amp;apos;Well, of course he did.&amp;apos; With me, it should be, &amp;apos;Oh good, a normal-looking guy got her. Maybe I&amp;apos;ll get me a Kristen Bell.&amp;apos; But guys hate my guts for always dating women I have no right to be with."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
