Personal Life[edit]

On December 29th, 2005, Bell was involved in a car accident on Los Angeles' Pacific Coast Highway. He was in the car with friend Thomas. Since his car was a 1966 Ford Mustang, the steering wheel was made of wood and metal, the seat belts were only around the waist, and there were no airbags. Because of this, his face smashed into the steering wheel, resulting in a broken jaw, a fractured neck, six dislodged teeth, and a deep cut across his chin, leaving a two-and-a-half inch scar. Bell told People that he "could fit [his] tongue through it. It was like a second mouth". Although Bell's injuries were disfiguring, they were not life-threatening, and he made a full recovery. He had his jaw wired shut for two months and subsisted on a liquid diet. Because of Bell's condition, production of the final season of Drake & Josh was postponed for a few months while he recovered.
