2003.

That was the year Adam Brody came onto the scene in The O.C as Seth Cohen and officially defined the term #boyfriendgoals.

Whether it was his obsession for comic books, his love for a toy horse called Captain Oats, his undying love for Summer Roberts or the fact he recreated that Spider Man kissing scene, it was hard to find a reason not to fall involve with Seth.

But, the actor has just stolen our hearts yet again as he's opened up about life at home with his one-year-old baby daughter, Arlo.

'I do a nice morning hike with my daughter, that's always a treat. It's something to do in the wee hours of the morning when she's up. It's a good activity for both of us. 

'We hike around our house … watching the sunrise with a kid is pretty fun,' he told People

Yesterday, the actor appeared on Reddit's AMA to chat with fans and couldn't help open up about life at home with his daughter and wife Leighton Meester (yes, Blair from Gossip Girl):  

Question: 'Was it hard to film away from home now when you have a daughter?'

Brody: 'She travels :)'

Question: 'How did you choose your daughter's name?'

Brody: 'Ouija.'

Question: 'What's your favorite thing about Leighton?'

Brody: 'Too many to count. She's the BEST.'

The 36-year-old also revealed he celebrates Chrismukkah every Easter, he wouldn't mind playing Brandon Flowers in a film biopic and likes his coffee black with heavily whipped cream.  

Right that's it, we're going home tonight to re-watch the entire series of The O.C
