Leighton Meester recently shared her admiration for husband Adam Brody’s captivating performance in the Netflix romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This. Brody, who plays the charming Rabbi Noah Roklov, won over audiences—and the Critics Choice Awards—earning the prestigious Best Actor in a Comedy Series title earlier this year.
Adam Brody’s Acclaimed Role in Nobody Wants This
In Nobody Wants This, Brody portrays a charismatic rabbi who embarks on an unexpected romance with an agnostic podcaster, played by Kristen Bell. The series, which premiered in September 2024, quickly became a favorite among millennials, who resonated with its witty dialogue, modern relationships, and thought-provoking themes surrounding faith and love.
His performance as the unconventional yet deeply relatable rabbi garnered widespread praise from critics and audiences alike. Fans have affectionately dubbed him the “hot rabbi,” a title that even Meester playfully agrees with.
Leighton Meester’s Heartfelt Reaction
In a recent interview, Meester was asked about her husband’s success and what made his portrayal of Rabbi Roklov so compelling. With a smile, she candidly responded, “He is able to embody that because he’s hot, OK? I said it. And also because he’s truly a wonderful person who was able to bring so much humor and humanity to that role and really make that character and bring a bit of himself to it.”
Beyond his undeniable charm, Meester credited Brody’s ability to bring depth and authenticity to his character, making the role even more special. She also expressed overwhelming pride in his Critics Choice Award win, calling it a “wonderful moment.”
Brody, clearly touched by the recognition, gave an emotional acceptance speech where he expressed gratitude to his wife, saying, “My darling, darling, darling wife Leighton, thank you for sharing this life with me and this journey with me. Thank you for our family. I love you with all my heart.”
