Adam Brody Shares How He and Leighton Meester Make Career Decisions Together


Adam Brody and Leighton Meester have been one of Hollywood’s favorite couples since tying the knot in 2014. The pair, who share two children—a daughter named Arlo and a son whose name remains private—are not just partners in life but also in their careers. Brody, known for his roles in Gilmore Girls and Shazam, recently opened up about how he and Meester help each other make career decisions.

During an appearance on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, Brody spoke about his latest film, Nobody Wants This, a romantic comedy where he stars alongside Kristen Bell. While discussing the movie, Brody shared how closely he and his wife collaborate when deciding on work projects. According to him, they act as each other's managers, sharing the same agents and frequently giving input on each other's choices. They have even worked together on several projects, including Life Partners and River Wild.

Brody revealed that Meester, despite her success, remains somewhat detached from the Hollywood business side, a quality he finds refreshing. He joked about how she might not recognize big names like Seth Rogen, yet her artistic instincts are always sharp. He praised her ability to understand the deeper meaning of scripts while he tends to focus on the practical side of their decisions, calling himself the "biz guy."

The couple’s dynamic is one of balance, with Meester bringing an intuitive, poetic sense to their work while Brody handles more of the logistics. As Brody’s film Nobody Wants This is set to premiere on Netflix on September 26, 2024, it's clear that their collaborative approach continues to influence both their personal and professional lives.
