Meanwhile, Bell has been in Atlanta shooting the upcoming big-screen comedy "Michelle Darnell," which co-stars Melissa McCarthy and "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage. McCarthy portrays the film's title character, described as "a titan of industry" who's sent to prison after she's caught for insider trading. She later attempts to rebrand herself as America's latest sweetheart. "We just began and I'm already in giggles on set," Bell said. "It is an honor to even share a water bottle with Melissa McCarthy -- let alone some screen time. And she couldn't be sweeter. I'm having a little bit of a problem as a fan-girl holding it together." Bell admits she's having a hard time keeping it together with Dinklage on set because she's such a huge fan. "There was a time last year during the last episode of 'Game of Thrones' when I changed the avatar on my Twitter page to 'If Tyrion Lannister dies, we riot.' I'm sure he doesn't know that but wouldn't it weird if an actor you were working with used your face as their avatar," said Bell."It's just a whole bunch of fangirl stuff that I try to leave at the door. But it's very exciting because I love 'Game of Thrones.'"
