In a recent interview, Adrien Brody reflected on the controversial incident that occurred during his appearance on Saturday Night Live back in 2003. The New York native, who is now 51 years old, addressed the claims that he was banned from the show due to a skit that caused quite a stir.
During his performance on the comedy show, Adrien had introduced rapper Sean Paul with an exaggerated Jamaican accent while sporting a dreadlock wig. This choice was made because Sean Paul was born in Kingston, Jamaica. However, since then, Adrien has not made any appearances on the long-running series, leading to speculation that the incident may have been the reason why.
But Adrien clarified that the SNL team had actually provided him with the costume and even watched the dress rehearsal. He also mentioned that the producers were quite taken aback by his numerous ideas for the show, including the impression.
Although Adrien did decide to adopt a Jamaican accent during his performance, he explained that he thought the SNL stage was a safe space to do so. However, when asked if he was now barred from the show, Adrien stated that to his knowledge, that was not true. But he did admit that he has not been invited back on the show since then.
Interestingly, the video of his performance has now been virtually removed from all records and is unavailable to watch on any of SNL's official channels. But Adrien has nothing to worry about as he has a lot to celebrate at the moment. He recently won a Golden Globe for his role in The Brutalist, a movie that received a 13-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival.
During a press conference, Adrien emotionally expressed his gratitude, saying, "This was an incredibly difficult film to make. I'm very emotional today because I've been working on it for seven years, and it felt urgent every day of the better part of a decade." He plays the character of Jewish architect László Tóth in the three and a half hour historical drama, which spans almost four decades.
Adrien dedicated his Best Actor win to his family, especially his mother Sylvia Plachy, who emigrated to the United States in the 50s. He mentioned how her journey, along with his ancestors, fleeing war and coming to this great country, was reminiscent of the character's journey in the movie. He also thanked his partner of seven years, Georgina Chapman, who he called "beautiful and amazing."
When Adrien won his first Oscar for The Pianist, he was the youngest person ever to receive the honor. During the acceptance speech, he even kissed Halle Berry, who presented him with the award. However, in a recent interview, Adrien declined to talk about the moment and was allegedly dismayed that the subject was brought up.
In a 2017 interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, Halle, who was 58 at the time, revealed that she had no idea about the kiss. She said, "That was not planned, I knew nothing about it. I was like, 'What the f**k is happening right now?' That is what was going through my mind." She also mentioned that she had been there the previous year and knew the feeling of being out of one's body, so she just went with it.
