Sheer number of celebrities in Kristen Bell's picture is blowing people's minds

Kristen Bell has shared a photo from a huge dinner party - and excuse me while I spend 10 minutes spotting all the different celebrities.

While it's pretty obvious that celebs would have other celeb friends, there's something so fascinating about knowing who is chummy with who.

Especially when it's at an out-of-work function rather than an awards dinner, for example.

So when Kristen shared the snap last summer, fans were naturally going wild over who was there and who was sat next to who.

While Kristen herself wasn't in the photo, suggesting she was perhaps behind the camera, there were more than enough celebs to make up for her absence.

We just don't know who to mention first.

A few stars stood out more than others due to their placement closer to the front of the camera, with Friends BFFs Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox's smiling faces clear as day, as they sat opposite each other across the table.

Slightly further down was Jason Bateman, who was sat a few seats down from Parks and Recreation star, Adam Scott.

Opposite him was a grinning Dax Shepard - Kristen's husband - and towards the far end of the table was The Tonight Show host, Jimmy Fallon.

And that's not all guys.

Elsewhere at the table sat comedian John Mulaney, and actor Olivia Munn, YouTube star Mark Rober, actor Shiri Appleby, CNN's Jake Tapper and actor and writer, Tim Curcio.

Fans have figured out that the image was actually taken from Jimmy Kimmel’s annual group holiday at South Fork Lodge in Idaho, and though it's a very impressive gathering, Kimmel is actually no stranger to inviting huge groups of stars to his home.

Apparently, he does it every year.

Kristen has previously spoken about the trip in an interview with Forbes, saying that 'probably like 40 friends' go each year.

“Jimmy Kimmel and [his wife, Jimmy Kimmel Live producer] Molly McNearney, who are two of our best friends, organise it,” Kristen told Forbes.

And people have been loving the snap, with one commenting: “This photo from Kristen Bell’s dinner party gets increasingly WTF as you go down the table.”

While another said: "I’m just imagining being in a small Idaho airport and seeing this hoard of A-listers arriving lmao."

And a third added: "That's a table of legends."
