Starring Adam Brody and Kristen Bell, Nobody Wants This follows Joanne (Bell) and Noah (Brody), an agnostic podcast host and an unconventional rabbi who seem like an unlikely pair on paper.

After being invited out to dinner by Noah, Joanne starts to open up to him and ends up spending the whole evening with him. The adorable date night culminates in a kiss that Joanne even deems one of the best she's ever had.

The kiss is one of the more romantic scenes from Nobody Wants This, and it has led to countless people taking to X, formerly Twitter, to declare it one of the best scenes and some of Adam's most swoon-worthy work in the series.

Speaking to MTV, Kristen said she and Adam knew they had to "pull this off" after reading how it was described in the script.

2.Kristen told MTV that she "wasn't prepared" for Adam Brody to put his hands on her face during the moment, which he ultimately did in all of Joanne and Noah's kisses throughout the series. She said that crew members gasped because it was so perfect, and that's when Kristen realized, "Oh, this is gonna work."
