Adrien Brody was criticised for his “disgusting” Oscar performance

Adrien Brody’s trophy collection now has a second Academy Award. The 51-year-old actor’s performance in Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist earned him the Oscar for Best Actor on Sunday.

Although he has received plaudits for his performance in the movie, social media users were more interested in something else at the event last night. Brody did something that people have called “disgusting” as he spat out his gum on his way to the podium to accept his prize.

Adrien Brody’s career has been extraordinary. The 51-year-old actor isn’t exactly a Hollywood star, despite this. He won the Best Actor Oscar in 2003 at the age of 29, making him the youngest person to do so for his role in The Pianist. The record would later be broken by Timothy Chalamet.

Many would contend that winning an Academy Award is a surefire way to become a Hollywood A-list star. Brody didn’t quite reach that degree of notoriety and appeal, though. In addition to his roles in Peter Jackson’s 2005 film King Kong, the actor has acted in a number of Wes Anderson productions, including The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Darjeeling Limited.

After their accomplishments, actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon were able to land important parts in critically acclaimed movies. However, Brody had a more difficult time and was turned down for numerous assignments, whilst his peers quickly rose to the top.

Adrien told Variety that he has previously gone through this. He made his screen debut in the PBS film Home at Last as a teenager, but he had trouble finding a role after that. Brody clarified, “I’ve had to demonstrate that the leading man can be unconventional, distinctive, and not usually attractive.” However, sometimes it’s easier to make fairly unremarkable selections. safer. Unfortunately, a lot of casting directors and film producers didn’t think he could play a major part.

“My representatives were frequently informed of it, and they would then relay that information to me,” he stated.

Social media users took notice of something else that swiftly became a talking point while Brody made headlines for his lengthy speech. He spat his chewing gum into his hand and tossed it to Georgina Chapman as he made his way to the platform to claim his Oscar.

Fans quickly began criticising him for his actions. One person commented on X, “Adrien Brady could have apologised to his partner for throwing gum at her during his lengthy speech.” Another person commented, “I find it more shocking that Adrian Brody threw his gum at Georgina Chapman on the stairs to accept his award than Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.”

“Arrest Adrien Brady for throwing his gum at his wife at the Oscars,” said a third, while “A wad of her husband’s chewed gum that he threw at her on his way up the stairs to accept his Oscar is the statuette of Adrien Brody’s wife, who just won the award for Best Supportive Significant Other,” another person said. “Adrien Brody throwing gum at his wife and then trying to give a moving speech is something even worse than both,” one person wrote, while another commented, “Next level.” How did you feel about the Academy Awards this year?
