Yeah….Adrien Brody Can Hit It
Hottie Adrien Brody attended the premiere of his latest film Detachment during the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival at BMCC Tribeca PAC on April 25 in New York City.
Wow….This hot bitch is only 29. He looks older, doesn’t he? I thought he was in his late 30′s!!
In addition to Detachment, Brody is also promoting Wrecked, a low-budget thriller about a man who wakes up in a totaled car without remembering who he is. Brody chatted with New York Mag about his latest film, below are excerpts:
Your part in Wrecked reminded me of your part in The Pianist: You had to carry most of the film without saying anything.
Exactly. When I read this script, I said, “This is the first film I’ve read since The Pianist where I had to express so much and experience so much, and the audience has to be alone with this character.” It’s a rare opportunity. And it’s very ambitious to make a movie like this with such limited resources and time.Did you improvise a lot?
Oh yeah. The eating-insects thing, the worm scene in the film, the way it took place was we were shooting on the bank of a river, and I saw the way that this worm was silhouetted beautifully in this circular pool of water and trapped. It paralleled my character’s inability to escape. I saw it and it was this kind of tragic real-life drama playing out before me. I showed it to the director; I said, “You must get the shot.” He said we were running late and couldn’t. And I said, “All right, I’ll eat it.” So it’s now in the movie. [Laughs.]I have to ask you about those Stella Artois ads you did, where you were singing. A lot of actors look down on doing ads, but you didn’t seem to have any qualms.
I just do what feels right. I saw it as an acting endeavor. There isn’t anything wrong with doing it. You got to deal with it on a case-by-case basis. What was exciting about it, besides being a very creative and funny concept, was it let me step outside my boundaries and actually sing. I never had the courage to sing in my life. The joke I had with my parents was that I never had the courage to sing and now I have to do it before everybody at the Super Bowl.
