It was the comment that launched a thousand hate e-mails and lit up “Twilight” message boards across the World Wide Webs. Previously adored, charming guy-next-door actor Adam Brody backhandedly told Kristen Stewart to “quit” acting if being famous bothered her so much.
The firestorm was sparked by an interview Brody gave on Diablo Cody’s online chat show, “Red Band Trailer.” When Cody asked Brody whether he enjoyed his celebrity or if he would prefer to be known as just “an actor,” referencing Stewart’s comments about wanting to be left alone, his response was a bit testy.
“It’s only gotten worse, I’m sure, being a celebrity,” Brody, who is in the “Scream 4″ cast, said. “At the same time, I don’t have a lot of patience for people who moan about it too much. Because there are many things you could do. … It’s like, quit … you don’t need to be an actor, so it’s like, if it’s that much of a problem … there’s the door.”
And with that, the hate-on-Adam-Brody campaign began. When MTV News caught up with the man in question to talk about his upcoming ensemble flick “The Romantics,” we asked him whether his response might have been taken out of context.
“I, no, I just, I, this is horrible,” he started, seemingly uncomfortable addressing the hot-button issue. “It wasn’t taken out of context. I saw [the episode] and thought I sounded like an idiot. I did,” Brody admitted. “Regardless of how anyone else took anything, I would think that sounds very ungentlemanly and I sounded like a jackass.”
A Hollywood actor who publicly acknowledges a gaffe? Well done, Mr. Brody. Points to the former “O.C.” star for his honesty!

this guy bores me
Each celebrity handles fame in their own way. No one has a right to judge on how another person is handling it. They aren't walking in their shoes nor know how fame affects them. Yes Adam you did indeed look like an insensitive jackass. But kudos to you for taking responsibility for you dumb ass rant. :)
oh, the ego of hollywood actors. that's y kris isnt dating u. and is envy rearing it's not so pretty green little head? like, 'i would do anything 2 b in ur place'?
btw, she isnt just sitting around moaning. she hides, uses diversion tactics. and let's not forget, she is exposed not only to fame, but also to hate bc of rob. and, damn, this celebrity industry chaos is not just her business. it affects normal ppl. if the emperor is naked, somebody should say something about it. she's not afraid 2 say it in the open coz she's not overly concerned w/ her public image.
it's nice that adam tried 2 fix what he muddied up, and maybe realized his mistake, but there's 2 many ppl thinking like him, and that's the real problem.
Yes Adam your an IDIOT MAN!!!
Indeed a jackass! Word of advice, next time , learn how to recognize a manipulative question. Punks get devoured, Kristen stewart is too legit to quit.
Take that from MC HAMMER!
I can't blame Other stars who were around before kstew to feel eclipsed by her popularity and thus resort to low class act of making snide remarks bout her acting or behavior. But be very careful, coz there's a new ARMY out there! More fierce than newborns.
well what Kristen is going through regarding fame(along with Rob )is quite unique and no fellow actor can prob relate to.and i agree JACKASS is the right term,since the fella here worked with her and all he should have known better.
lol he was nervous about his answer!! i like how celebrity seems to be afraid of the twifans xDD yes you idiot! try talk about shit for our girl again and see what happens!
he's an idiot!
sorry to say this but *he is full of it*,there is no need to judge another persons ideas reactions behavior to different things(if this thing is papz there is a strong no need) let alone this person be a celebrity and most most importantly be Kristen but it is good that he admits he has made a mistake,to my mind,it is a very very BIG mistake,no one has any right to judge our dear bb girl we love her so very much so mind your own business mr.Brody.
ANAHITA.
Be a gentleman and apologize, man~
@Anon 3:43, lol, army fiercer than newborns? I love it~ ^^
Mon
not gonna watch the video bcuz if i do i will punch my computer screen.
One word "Dummy"!!! I don't care that he apologized, he should have known better; if you've never experienced something you don't go off half-cock and say something totally stupid about someone else's experience. He could have said "I really can't answer that because I have never been in that situation" or something similiar. He's still a douche.
A few years ago he said Kristen was "amazing"...so he should have remembered her outstanding work ethic and talent before spouting off recently. It clearly showed no class and a lack of understanding of the insane amount of hounding she receives.He has not walked in her shoes so it was in poor judgement, however, happy he apologized. Hope he sent her flowers or something to make up with our girl...that would be a gentleman thing to do.
love all the comments..you all think just like i do!!
@moonriver...hear hear!!
@anon 3:34 AM yep they ALL better watch out love the anology to the newborns...we are fierce! nobody messes w our bb girl...if you want to debunk Rob or Kristen (maybe a few of the other twi actors)...dont care who you are, but you have us to face...thats a tough fanbase right there..he better choose his words wisely next time...
Tr
Well, he didn't really apologize at all. Just said he sounded like a jackass--agreed. When he has achieved the tiniest fraction of celebrity...unlikely....that Kristen has then maybe he can speak about it for himself. Not for someone whose life he knows nothing about.
That's right, watch out for those newborns!!!!
@anon 12:04 exactly.. he didnt apologize he just called himself a jackass which IS true after making a comment like that. Everyone DOES handle fame differently Kristen and Rob are the biggest hollywood actors right now (and will be for a long time)
because of the Twilight franchise and until you've been a part of a phenomenon like that you CANT speak on it. Adam is famous but NOT THAT famous. I'm sure he can actually walk into a crowded bar,restaurant,or take a walk in the park and nobody give a damn..i sure wouldn't.
I still like Adam Brody, hell I still love him. But however I do get that what he said may be construed as rude, but would he really have insulted Kristen so blantantly after working with her?
I don't know, maybe I'm turning a blind eye to him, but yes if you were to percieve his comments that way I understand how they seem very rude and insulting to Kris.

Can i just say I LOVE that anon newborn comment...its true..they really have to watch what they say. I mean sane fans like me wont go us far as send out hate letters and all that crap but still (two wrongs dont make a right).
Its VERY true about the army..this is a POSITIVE blog thus, I do not like bringing up negativity but with all the bs and hate K gets I feel like her fanbase is like an Army we have to be like an army..she gets way too much bs for such a young person.
This Brody guy i gotta say the root of his comment is jealousy...someone said years ago he said great things about her, this was probably before the whole fame and whirlwind but now that she is far beyond along with her handsome bf...the claws will start coming out..behind every succesfull person is a pack of hyenas.
Tina
If u think about his explanation, he didn't sound apologetic, but a smug who is painfully trying to stand up for his words , without hope of understanding from angry fans. It's like, uh-oh, too late now...
But he's a natural. He spat it out, he also has the "wtf bewilderment", bout kristen's fame.
Adam Brody and Emma Roberts should dance :) really! they are perfect for each other... Hahahaha! get the point? ;)
Yes, anon 9:40, LMAO~ ^^
