GQ has finally posted photos of Adam’s spread from the May issue on their site. Check out the photos in the gallery.
Seth Cohen, the character Adam Brody played on the TV soap The O.C., transformed the concept of the teenage hero-hunk into something earthbound and relatable. Seth was snarky, vulnerable, and mordantly optimistic in a way that a generation of boyish men have been aping ever since. And at 32, the actor still fits the bill, geeking out about an upcoming role alongside Jean-Claude Van Damme (“I mean, JCVD!!!”) and foot fashion (“I am obsessed with no socks!”). His slow build of a movie career fires up with six films in 2012, including the tragicomedy Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, in which Steve Carell confronts the mundanity of the Apocalypse. What would Brody do if he found himself staring down the End Times? “Heroin? It appeals to me more than, like, skydiving. Maybe doing heroin while skydiving?” Or—IDEA TIME!—how about an O.C. reunion movie, à la Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas? “Sure. That’d be funny. Put that.” Oral contract, Brody. Consider this shit notarized.

680News recently interviewed Adam along with his Damsels co-star, Analeigh Tipton. You can listen to it below!
Check out this positive review for Double Or Nothing!
While the last thing that people might find time to see at a big festival like Tribeca is some USC grad’s ten-minute thesis film that stars his sister, Nathaniel Krause‘s Double or Nothing has a tremendous amount going for it that recommend the short for a quick watch and some sustaining laughs. After all, it’s the only film at Tribeca that’s written by Neil LaBute. You’re paying attention now, right?
The film stars Adam Brody (who will next be seen in another LaBute-penned feature, Some Girls) and Krause’s sister Louisa (whose name you might know from King Kelly, an unexpected hit at this year’s SXSW Film Festival) as a young couple who have issues to spare. All is not well in their young romance, and that’s about to be hammered home when they begin to argue outside a bar late at night, with an eagle-eyed homeless man (Keith David) watching their tiff unfold in real time. Just like in Caroline and Jackie, audiences won’t see the climax or conclusion of Double or Nothing coming, though the short comes with plenty of laughs to lessen the blows.
With one wicked little short, director Krause proves to be a talent to watch, while also showing just how much Brody has progressed beyond his years as The O.C.‘s Seth Cohen.

Having portrayed the stand-up guy in everything from “The O.C.” to “Damsels in Distress,” Adam Brody can lose his halo for the film adaptation of Neil LaBute’s “Some Girls,” in which he plays a man who visits his many exes. Brody suspects the undertaking would go better for him than for his character: “Maybe this is revisionist history, but I like to think I have a good relationship with everyone I’ve dated seriously. I don’t think they would speak ill of me, but perhaps I’m wrong.”

Adam Brody is great at playing the ultimate heartthrob but don’t expect him to return to scripted television anytime soon. The 32-year-old spoke with HollywoodLife.com at the NYC premiere of his new film Damsels in Distress hosted by The Cinema Society with Town & Country and Brooks Brothers on April 2 and he told us his upcoming plans!
“Reality TV,” he smiles. “I don’t know … I haven’t figured it out. I want to do something in reality TV. But before that I’m going to shoot a movie called Some Girls [starring Emily Watson and Kristen Bell].”

Like Ryan Gosling, Adam Brody got his start on a hugely successful TV show. (The only difference was that Brody was old enough to swoon over from the start.) Like Gosling, he won the heart of almost every girl between the ages of 12 and 40 before kind of disappearing, only to pop up in a role or two each year after The OC’s end. Also like Gosling, he has great style, a few stellar celebrity ex-girlfriends and legions of fans hoping he’ll appear in more than a Funny or Die skit this year. So if last year was the year of Gosling—he commandeered almost every single movie theater, magazine cover and conversation—this year could be Brody’s.
The first of the five films starring Brody this year opens tomorrow. Damsels in Distress is the first film from Whit Stillman since The Last Days of Disco and Brody plays Charlie, “a playboy operator” according to his co-star, Greta Gerwig. We wanted to know which parts, if any, of the role rang true with the real life Brody.
ELLE: This movie comically coins—and repeatedly uses—the phrase “playboy operator.” What does that even mean?
Adam Brody: A strategic operator. Someone who is hell-bent on the seduction of the opposite sex and will resort to any means necessary. I suppose, someone who has a lot of notches in their bedpost? Charlie is sort of accused of it, in the movie, but he isn’t a bad guy and probably hasn’t had many conquests. So, I guess it applies to anyone who is interested in courtship and is pursing almost any methods—charming methods—to get there.

The last time Adam Brody saw an episode of “The O.C.,” now five years in syndication, he was in Italy for the Venice Film Festival.
“I was in Rome for ‘Damsels in Distress’ last September. They had it in Italian. It was a funeral. I couldn’t remember who died, but I think it was — I don’t know. The kid, Ryan, is his real name. He had longer hair.”
That would be Ryan Donowho, who played Johnny Harper, Marissa Cooper’s season three surfer bestie. He tragically died after falling off a cliff.
“It was a very sad ‘O.C.’” Brody recalled.

Whit Stillman was worried when he discovered his “Damsels in Distress” star Adam Brody was about to shoot the “Deep Throat” movie “Lovelace.” “He said, ‘Oh no. I hope you’re not doing any nudity,’” the actor recalled when talking to IFC. But is Brody disrobing for his portrayal of Linda Lovelace’s co-star Harry Reems? “Not really, but I still don’t think Whit will be pleased,” he laughed. “There’s [simulated] fellatio, so…”
Brody said he’s “not a prude, not completely,” so he relished the chance to play the first male porn star who came to prominence in the 1972 adult film. “And the mustache was a big plus,” he joked. “Lovelace also stars Amanda Seyfried as Lovelace, Peter Sarsgaard as her husband/manager Chuck Traynor, James Franco as Hugh Hefner, and Sarah Jessica Parker as Gloria Steinem. “It’s really sort of a scandalous and interesting piece of history,” Brody said.
