Adam Brody’s Return to Popularity: His Role in ‘Nobody Wants This’

Adam Brody, renowned for his portrayal of Seth Cohen in the early 2000s television series “The O.C.”, is experiencing a resurgence in popularity due to his latest role in the Netflix series “Nobody Wants This.” In the romantic-comedy series, Brody plays the character Noah, a charismatic rabbi, opposite Kirsten Bell, who plays an agnostic podcaster named Joanne.

“Nobody Wants This,” which made its debut in September, has captured the attention of audiences, becoming one of the most talked-about releases of the year. The show is loosely based on the life of real-life podcaster Erin Foster, and it has been praised for its refreshing storyline, chemistry between Brody and Bell, and its witty dialogue.

Adam Brody’s portrayal of Noah, described by fans as a grown-up version of Seth Cohen, has ignited interest on social media platforms. The character’s likability and maturity have drawn parallels with Brody’s own growth since his breakout role in “The O.C.,” which first aired over two decades ago.

In a recent post on the pop culture Instagram account Deuxmoi, fans have shared anecdotes about Brody’s friendliness and down-to-earth nature. One fan recounted an interaction at an Italian restaurant, praising Brody for his engagement with admirers and his compliments to his then-fiancée, actress Leighton Meester. Deuxmoi’s post, which included various fan stories, highlighted Brody’s reputation for being one of Hollywood‘s genuine and kind personalities.

Brody’s chemistry with Kirsten Bell in “Nobody Wants This,” coupled with nostalgic references to his past roles, has contributed significantly to the show’s success. The comedy series, which deals with themes of religious differences and relationship dynamics, has drawn comparisons to popular television figures such as Fleabag’s “hot priest,” indicating Brody’s widespread appeal.

As the series continues to garner impressive viewership numbers, having already amassed over 10 million views within its first few days of release, fans are eagerly discussing the potential for future seasons and the continual evolution of Brody’s character.
