Adrien Brody Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ

[@fuiers]

The fact that he cant really even talk about The Pianist without getting emotional is so tough to watch.

[@SolomonSerban]

@@rb2018 Good observation. Let’s say it’s a 10k watch. How can he end global hunger with it? Lets say he’s giving all his money on charity. It won’t end hunger, you know.

Well Adrien's ancestry is actually polish-jewish on his fathers side, so it is actually quite real for probably a few people in his family.

It wasn’t about The Pianist, it was about the people of this world who are forced to be hungry. That’s what made him emotional, not the movie.

He is a wonderful and humble man. I was a teacher in Egypt in 2018/2019, and when I was walking around the Khan El-Khalili [a market that is thousands of years old], I ran into him looking at an Egyptian rug. I spoke with him for a bit, and asked him if being in the this market was at all close to being on the set of Darjeeling Limited. He walked with me for a bit, explaining what it was like working with Wes, and he just seemed so happy to be where he was. No photo. No autograph. Just a nice human moment.

Brody was born in Woodhaven, Queens, New York City, the son of Sylvia Plachy, a photographer, and Elliot Brody, a retired history professor and painter.

Of course it’s horrible what comes out sometimes, and people have done things in their lives that may be inexcusable, but it’s not something to focus on.”

I was 14 when Pianist came out and my class went to see that movie in our town cinema as a school activity (I really don't know which teacher came with this idea). I was so captivated by the music in the film that I decided to become a pianist myself. I was already attending piano lessons but I decided to focus on it on a much deeper level and I auditioned to the consevatory and they accepted me. So I changed my school, moved to a dorm and succesfully finished that studies with a red diploma. I did earn my living with music for few years and than I moved to business but music is still my great passion so I established a little ensemble in our company and everybody loves our christmas gigs :) I cannot imagine my live without that experience which music studies gave me, everyday I feel thankful and privileged that I could do something what I loved for all days long.

Pianist is such an amazing movie. Everyone should watch that movie. Great actor. Look forward to see what’s next! Loved him in Peaky Blinders

[@crimsonsamurai887]

His role in the pianist was amazing I was surprised how its accurate that everyone died but him

[@amoosethatrants9720]

His performance in the Pianist is one of, if not the finest acting of all time

[@Kay-lc4ku]

He was spectacular in Manolete too. I can honestly watch anything Adrien Brody's in, he's a fine actor ♡

[@katbh]

I could honestly listen to him talk about stuff like this all day. Totally fascinating.

[@stephendonny5918]

Love to meet him and just listen to him talk the whole time such a great actor

[@Phoenix-nl2ut]

Peaky blinders is the best. Such a good season with adrien

[@xinglyu348]

This man is a real actor/artist. I am so amazed by his versatility and diversity of his characters. I suppose Detachment is also worth mentioning. One of my favorite movie of AB.

I’ve been hungry. I know that feeling and I don’t ever want to feel it again or wish it upon anyone.

[@GatileoGatilei]

"I realized I've never really been hungry" That hit me so much

Would love to sit down and have dinner with this man. Seems like such a wealth of knowledge with great perspective on life.

[@nataliamontewska]

He is so iconic, humble, talented and intelligent.

The twist at the end of The Village was pretty incredible

[@lirome1535]

I'm completely and truly in love with this man

[@tigeress699]

King Kong is one of my favorite films of all time and I'm so happy you guys got Adrien to do this!

[@joeyfigueroa4748]

Detachment made me love his acting. What a phenomenal film.
