Adam Brody Proves Everybody Wants What He Has With Leighton Meester in 2025 Critics Choice Awards Speech

Time to give a big “mazel tov” to Adam Brody.

The Nobody Wants This star picked up the 2025 Critics Choice Awards for Best Actor Comedy Series for his work as Rabbi Noah Roklov on the Netflix series during the Feb. 7 ceremony hosted by Chelsea Handler.

And it was quite a momentous occasion for Adam, who beat out fellow nominees Brian Jordan Alvarez (English Teacher), David Alan Grier (St. Denis Medical), Steve Martin (Only Murders in The Building), Kayvan Novak (What We Do in the Shadows) and Martin Short (Only Murders in The Building) for the award.

Taking the stage at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., the 45-year-old thanked his wife of 10 years Leighton Meester, with whom he shares daughter Arlo, 9, and a 4-year-old son, whose name has never been publicly shared.

“My darling, darling, darling wife Leighton,” he said during his acceptance speech, “thank you for sharing this life with me and this journey with me. Thank you for our family.”

Adam continued, “I love you with all my heart.”
