Who’s Your Celebrity Crush?

The other day, I sat up in bed and realized with horror that it’s been two years — TWO YEARS — since our last celebrity crush post. That’s going to change today! Please tell me: Who is your current celebrity crush? Here’s mine, which will surprise exactly no one…

Nobody Wants This Adam Brody

Mr. Adam Brody, along with the rest of the world right now. In the new Netflix rom-com series Nobody Wants This, Brody plays a hot rabbi who falls for an agnostic sex podcaster (Kristen Bell). What will happen next? (We know.) Will they or won’t they? (They will.)

Most of all, did you watch the scene of their first kiss? Kristen told MTV that she “wasn’t prepared” for Adam to put his hands on her face — and apparently the crew members gasped.

Before kissing her, the rabbi also tells her, “Hand me your ice cream; put your bag down.” Creator Erin Foster, who based the show on her own marriage, said that Adam initially thought the line felt too bossy, but Erin explained, “it’s so sexy.” To be honest, I couldn’t agree with her more, especially when a guy is super nice and open — because then you see this other side of him, where he takes the lead. I think we all remember the hot priest telling Fleabag to “kneel.”

The show isn’t perfect — the overbearing Jewish mother trope has garnered criticism, Kristen Bell’s character is shockingly clueless about seemingly all religions, and her brand new relationship gets prioritized over long-time work goals — but it’s fun to watch, and we all need a celeb crush right now, don’t you think?

Thoughts? Have you been watching the show? What do you think of the hot rabbi? The New York Times also featured some hilarious portraits of Adam as an exaggerated rom-com lead — peeking out from behind leaves, skipping through a parking lot, and hugging a telephone pole. Also Shana Tova to those who celebrate!

P.S. Our past celebrity crushes and a doctor, chief, priest and therapist on whether TV jobs seem real.
