Adam Brody and Kristen Bell Are a 'Generationally Approved Couple' in 'Nobody Wants This'

Netflix knows exactly what millennials want, and it's to see Adam Brody and Kristen Bell fall in love. "We're a generationally approved couple. There is something nice to the familiarity there," Brody says. In Nobody Wants This (September 26), Brody plays Noah, a "modern" rabbi who falls for Joanne (Bell), an irreverent, non-Jewish woman who is hopelessly bad at love. "He's so modern—not that rabbis can't be modern, but still—he's not a stereotypical rabbi." One thing that stood out to Brody was how unconventional the story was. "I want to play someone who's lived a full life. And I want a real accounting for somebody—a rabbi, no less, somebody who's committed and traditional and why this person can be single and childless this late in life." Nobody Wants This adds to a string of critically acclaimed work Brody has done as of late. "One thing builds on the next, and then a few more interesting opportunities come your way. And maybe it's your turn for a bit. I don't know, it's fun. I'm down for the ups, and I'm down for the mediums. I'll leave off the lows."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
