The actress said, "And I guess it’s because I know Adam, and I feel like I know his work and his capabilities. It really came down to the charm that I thought this character would have to have. He would have to be so likable, and Adam is so likable." Kristen Bell noted that he has the skill to play someone unlikable, yet people are still drawn to him and want to watch him. 

She noted that she wanted to work with an actor who could create "anticipation and yearning" for the audience, which she believed both she and Adam Brody have.
