Drake Bell has pled guilty to felony attempted child endangerment of a 15-year-old, then he jumped on Instagram Live.
The 34-year-old former Nickelodeon star appeared unbothered after his court appearance on Wednesday via Zoom.
The actor -- known for his role on Drake & Josh -- also pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.
Minutes later, Drake Bell went live on Instagram to serenade his 4.3 million followers. His song choice was interesting, especially considering the circumstances.
Appearing to be in great spirits, the star sang the theme song from Toy Story, You've Got a Friend in Me.
Still wearing the salmon-colored shirt that he sported for his virtual court appearance, Drake didn't seem fazed despite his sentencing still looming.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 12 in Cleveland.
Defense attorney Ian Friedman said the reasoning "why Mr. Bell chose to enter today's plea" was revealed during the hearing, but he refused to comment any further.
