i always thought he was the perfect matching with kirsten dunst
They should hook up.
The rumors about them is BS. Kirsten knows Rachel since Highschool. According to Adam their just friends.
Saw this in Youtube. He looks hot in this Interview.

The Day that Adam Brody Called
ELLEgirl: Do you miss working with a steady cast and crew at all or were you ready to take on different roles?
Adam Brody: No, I'm more excited to branch out. I mean, I love the people I was working with, I still talk to most of them...and I can't miss them, I see them all the time! I certainly wouldn't rule out another series at some point, but for now I'm excited to switch it up. I've been hanging out, sleeping
EG: Seth Cohen started out being a major dork on the show and it seems like you adapted his character and girls were able to see that there's a lot more to that type of guy...how much of yourself was in that character?
AB: You know, a bit. I think in a way people in real life are less cool than on television. I think that the sort of dork-being-pushed-around aspect was heightened for the show and although I feel very similar to the character, people have been much kinder to me in my real life in high school. I wasn't getting wedgied, you know? [laughs]
EG: Were you nervous that you would be typecast? Because it seems like you kind of created that character, in a way.
AB: Um, no, not really. I mean, it's given me a lot opportunities to do other things and if they capitalize on that, great, and if they don't, then maybe I just can't do anything else, you know? It's certainly not "Seth Cohen's" fault. I mean, I don't feel like it's been a real block.
EG: What's your character like in In the Land of Women?
AB: You know, he's very similar...a bit older, a bit wiser...but other than that, there's also a lot of shades of myself in this character, and, in this movie, he's a heart-sick guy that's just looking for friendships. What I liked a lot about the character--besides the fact that I liked the movie--I felt like, he's different from Seth, but not so different that it feels like me trying to prove how different I am. It feels like a good natural progression.
EG: What genre of movie would you like to try next?
AB: That's a good question. I wouldn't mind an explosion somewhere in a movie... [laughs] I wouldn't mind a sort of action/comedy. That could be really fun.
Editor's note: We can see it now: Adam Brody in Die Hard!!!
EG: Which actors do you really look up to in the business?
AB: Oh, there's a ton...I really like, uh, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp, Matt Damon, Paul Rudd [pictured at left]...I can't truly name all the actors I think are good. I would want to work with all of them!
Editor's Note: With roles in great comedies like Clueless, Wet Hot American Summer, and Anchorman, we can picture Adam following in Paul's acting footsteps.
EG: Do you ever get intimidated working with any actors, or do you feel like you would be?
AB: Well, I've gotten the chance now to work with a few big actors and I do get intimidated, but they're all really nice! By the end of one long, twelve-hour day, you're not intimidated any more. It always starts out that way but pretty quickly you get over it and you're just working with another actor, you know?
What movies does Adam like to watch over and over?
AB: I love the original Batman...
More movies that Adam could keep watching over and over...
AB: Back to the Future...
Cinematic Perfection
AB: Ferris Bueller's Day Off is the perfect movie to me...
New faves
AB: More recently, I like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...
Favorite comedies
AB: I liked Meet the Parents...
The Classics
AB: Going back, I really like The Graduate...there's a lot.
EG: It seems like you're into a lot of music and you sort of brought that to The O.C...how do you stay so in-the-loop with music?
AB: I don't, I don't at all...I've been lame when it comes to that. It's not that hard, if you have iTunes, you can check out the most recent stuff. And there's nothing indie about Modest Mouse any more, you know what I mean? It's like, anyone can find them. I have been downloading a lot actually...I'm newly converted.
EG: That's cool. Who are some of your favorite people you're listening to right now?
AB: I really like the new French Kicks album...I guess it's not so new any more, but I like that a lot. And I've been listening to some old stuff like Echo and the Bunnymen and The Smiths.
EG: Are you still working with your band, Big Japan?
AB: Ummmm.... Sorta.
EG: Just for fun?
AB: For fun.
EG: So obviously a lot of actors end up dating their co-stars and it seems like your emotions can be heightened working with somebody... did you find that to be true with Rachel Bilson?
AB: Well...I think it just has to do with the environment and, when you're working with someone, it's so insulating...when you're doing a project, all of a sudden that particular project and that group becomes your family and your world for, you know, 12 hours a day for however long, and in those conditions you get to know people really well and it's like going to high school. It's actually way more extreme than high school--it's like going to camp. I think it's very natural that something like that would happen, given those working conditions.
EG: Is it confusing or difficult to deal with being a famous couple and working together?
AB: Nah, it's pretty simple for me. It can be a pain in the ***, but it's fairly simple to figure out. What's going to result in what.
