Adam Brody made a swoon-worthy acting choice that left the internet gagged.

Adam Brody's Hand on Kristen Bell's Face 'Nobody Wants This'

Kristen Bell and Adam Brody’s new Netflix show, Nobody Wants This—which is loosely based on creator Erin Foster’s life—has generated major social media buzz and reignited the internet’s crush on Brody after his days as everybody’s favorite early 2000s comic book nerd, Seth Cohen. Brody is being praised for his portrayal of Noah, an emotionally intelligent Jewish rabbi who meets and falls for the agnostic podcaster Joanne (played by Bell). One kissing scene in particular has viewers in a chokehold, and Bell is explaining how Brody took the moment to the next level.

In the scene, Noah and Joanne are talking on the street when he tells her to put down her ice cream and bag so he can kiss her. Both Brody and Bell revealed that in the script, the smooch was described as “the world’s greatest kiss.” Bell admitted that Brody lived up to that hype by making some unexpected acting choices.

“My greatest memory is that I wasn’t prepared for Adam to put his hands on my face as he did with so many of the kisses,” Bell said during an interview with MTV, adding that the moment even had some of the crew members gasping. “I was like, ‘Oh, this is gonna work.'”

In a separate interview with TV Line, Bell admitted it was “probably the best on-screen kiss I’ve ever done.” In real life, Brody is married to Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester and Bell is married to actor and podcaster Dax Shepard.

In a previous interview with InStyle, Brody spoke about how Noah and Joanne’s relationship mirrors modern dating.

There’s not a magic person for you that’s perfect, where you don’t have to change—doesn’t mean you have to change your religion for somebody, doesn’t mean everyone has to decide what is smothering yourself or what is growth for someone else. And that’s a conversation to be had,” he said. “Either way, you’re going to change if you’re with someone, and that’s the only way. That is an important lesson for me that I had to learn. If you’re with a great person and the right person, there’s gonna be some positive growth, but you won’t be able to 100 percent keep your exact everything about you with another person there. It’s gonna take some compromise; you’ll definitely have to swallow some pride to grow. You have to decide for yourself if this is a better you or you’re getting smothered.”
