Adam Brody is getting candid about his behavior behind the scenes on The O.C.! The actor shot to fame in 2003 for his charming performance as Seth Cohen, but just three years later, he was already OVER IT!

In the new book, Welcome to the O.C.: The Oral History out on Tuesday, the cast and crew opened up about what it was like to work with the heartthrob at that time — and it sounds… complicated!

Series creator Josh Schwartz was the first to admit everyone was sick of the series by the time they got into the third of four seasons, saying: Executive producer Stephanie Savage also noted the morale among the cast was “very lackluster” back then, claiming they started “to be a bit petulant with directors, having an attitude, reading a book during rehearsal instead of paying attention,” that kind of thing.
