How much Seth Cohen is in Adam Brody?
Adam Brody’s most famous fictional character is undoubtedly the charming nerd Seth Cohen from “OC, California”. The teenager from Orange County made the actor the absolute series crush of an entire generation when it was released in 2007. But how much do the two actually have in common? Is Adam as lovable and funny as Seth?
The two dream types definitely share some similarities. Not just because they both got “the girl”, i.e. Summer Roberts aka Rachel Bilson. During four seasons, Seth and Rachel find each other and are the absolute dream couple. The actors Rachel and Adam also dated in real life for three years, but they separated in 2006.

Both the real Adam and the fictional Seth are known for their quick-witted, sarcastic humor. In many of his interviews, Adam showed a similar flair for spontaneous jokes as his series character. Even though the gags were scripted by Seth, Adam’s natural personality seemed to have contributed to the humor of The OC.
Plus, Seth and Adam have similar nerdy interests. The actor himself once admitted that he shares some passions with Seth Cohen. For example, he also likes comics and indie music. His enthusiasm for niche topics and the pop culture of the 00s was not always feigned, but sometimes even real.
We discovered another super likeable thing in common. Both Adam and Seth seem pretty down-to-earth despite their respective successes. Adam never presents himself as a luxury-loving Hollywood star, while Seth, despite his wealthy family, never fit in with the glamorous world of Newport Beach.
Both of them are funny, down-to-earth nerds and therefore offer absolute potential to make people snob. But we took a closer look at Adam Brody and found that he has a lot more to offer.
That’s why Adam Brody is an absolute dream guy
At first, Adam is super confident. A great quality that puts him one step ahead of Seth. While he is an insecure and socially awkward teenager, Adam Brody appears much more self-confident and balanced. He seems much more comfortable in his own skin than the neurotic Seth.
Adam is also much more determined than Seth. The teen from the series was pretty indecisive about his future. Adam Brody, on the other hand, has had a long and varied career. He has enjoyed success not only as an actor but also as a producer.
Despite his success, he doesn’t seem to have developed any airs. Adam is known for his calm and relaxed manner. He never seems arrogant and has retained his approachable personality despite his success.
Adam has proven that he is incredibly funny in person, but in many of his interviews he also shows his thoughtful and reflective side. Colleagues and friends who have worked with him describe him as profound and creative, with a strong artistic instinct. Especially when he is asked about his relationship, his family or similarly personal topics, he is very profound.
Speaking of relationships: His ten-year marriage to “Gossip Girl” actress Leighton Meester also provides a lot of evidence why Adam is a really good catch. While Seth Cohen’s love life, especially his dramatic relationship with Summer Roberts, was marked by insecurities and misunderstandings, Adam Brody scores with stability and reliability.

For one thing, he’s a great, supportive partner for Leighton. He seems to promote her career wherever and whenever he can. While she also supports his projects. She has emphasized in interviews that he is a great support to her and creates an excellent balance between career and family life.

What’s also striking in interviews is how he talks about his wife, Leighton Meester. He always describes her as a great person and emphasizes how happy he is to have her by his side. Conversely, she describes him as a devoted husband and father who always puts his family first.
Although they both work in the entertainment industry – Leighton Meester played Blair Waldorf in “Gossip Girl” – they value their private lives and largely keep their family out of the public eye. Adam and his wife make it a point to be discreet about their relationship and family life. Leighton often highlights how similar their values and outlook on life are, particularly when it comes to raising their children and their personal lives. She describes their relationship as equal, collaborative and emphasizes that they make many decisions together.
If Adam Brody hadn’t been officially off the market since 2014, he would be an absolute dream man. However, Leighton recognized this ten years ago and snagged the funny, charming, down-to-earth, determined, loving, values-oriented Adam. Today he is the caring father of their two children.
And so there’s nothing else left but to adore his series character Seth Cohen again. Also Joy’s You can now stream all episodes of “OC California” and fall in love with the sweet, funny, slightly strange Seth all over again.
