Adam Brody — the scruffy, boyish man who made legions of teenage girls (and older women) fall deeper in love every time he spewed out a nerdy wisecrack or wore skinny jeans on The O.C. — is back in action. He was at the MoMA yesterday, dressed in a slim suit with his perfectly tousled chestnut locks crowning his face, to promote his new film Lovelace. He’ll be playing the porn star Harry Reems, and both he and his parents are excited about the role. As he told People, “They’re pumped … They’re excited — my parents, particularly, which is sort of perverse, but great. They’re proud of their little porn star.” As is everyone else in the universe. Watch him talk about his role below in costume and marvel at how he manages to make his sleazy pornstache look adorable. It’s the dimples. Seth Cohen forever.
