Adrien Brody is an actor whose career has now spanned decades and he’s built a reputation for making bold choices with his roles. From his Oscar-winning performance inThe Pianistto lesser-known gems, the artist’s body of work has always commanded attention.
But one of his ‘bold’ choices that’s been looked down upon is an old introductory monologue onSaturday Night Live (SNL). Now that it has resurfaced, the stunt might ruin his chances of a second Oscar win, and here are all the details.
Adrien Brody’s infamousSNLmoment
In 2003,Adrien Brodywas meant to briefly hostSaturday Night Live, in a fun, lighthearted, and quick segment. But it turned out to be one of the biggest disasters in SNL’s history. The actor was dressed in a dreadlocks wig and adopted an over-the-top Jamaican accent while introducing Sean Paul.
Adrien Brody really said, ‘Go big or go banned.’
The segment was widely criticized for being culturally insensitive, and could’ve ended the actor’s career if it was done anytime in the late 2010s, when cancel culture was at its peak. In an interview withVulture, Brody said, “I thought that was a safe space to do that.”
5 Reasons You Should Watch Adrien Brody’s “The Brutalist”
But we do not know the truth about the skit because it’s all been muddled by rumors. Some suggest that Brody was entirely off-script, and he defied the show’s strict structure, whereas others say that it was pre-approved by the costume department.
Adrien Brody might lose his second Oscar due toSNL ban
Brody did not state that he was officially banned, but he did acknowledge the fact thatSNLnever invited him again after that. So, even though the show didn’t formally announce it, they’ve clearly cut all ties with the actor.
Now, Brody is once again in the spotlight withThe Brutalist, a period drama directed by Brady Corbet. In the movie, the actor plays László Tóth, a man who survives the Holocaust and moves to the United States. The role has earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor, and he might even get an Oscar nomination.
Adrien Brody’s Trick Which Made Him the Youngest Actor to Win an Oscar
However, Brody’s old mishap might cost him the award because he likely won’t be invited toSNLagain for his award-season campaign. So, he’ll have to rely solely on the film, other shows, and interviews to sway the Oscar voters.
But most importantly, theFool’s Paradisestar might not even get nominated if the problematic clip gets enough traction for him to be canceled. Regardless of what happens between him,SNL, and the Academy Awards, we can all agree that Brody never fails when it comes to nuanced portrayals.
The Brutalistis currently in theatres.
