Adrien Brody has revealed how a makeup artist attempted to remove his nose thinking that it was a prosthetic. The Oscar winner, 51, recalled the painfully embarrassing moment, which took place during filming for The Brutalist, during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Recounting the cringeworthy situation, Adrien said: 'They did apply a lot of [prosthetics]. 'They had to do a prosthetic procedure. It's funny - everyone's very busy, it's a movie with a lot of moving pieces, and so I had a new team of people who I had never met.'.

Getting into it, he continued: 'They were removing this apparatus all over me, and this woman was busily working away with a solvent on my nose. 'She's just working away, and I said, "Are you trying to remove that?"'. At this point, Adrien pointed at his nose and added: 'And she said, "Yes," and I said, "That doesn't come off.". 'And then she says, "Oh, I'm so sorry." And then she goes, "This is going in my diary!'".

Adrien Brody has revealed how a makeup artist thought his nose was a prosthetic. The acclaimed actor said the artist was 'busily working away with a solvent on my nose'. 'Why not?' Adrien added with a laugh. 'Now it's going in my talk show repertoire, there you have it!'. Adrien plays leading star László Tóth, a Hungarian-Jewish architect in Brady Corbet's 2024 epic period drama. Explaining what the movie is about, Adrien said: 'It's about a Hungarian architect who is well established and survives World War Two and flees and begins his journey in America and toils through poverty.

'You really watch the immigrant experience through him. 'He encounters this wealthy landowner who gives him the opportunity to build this institute that is this triumphant work that he has a chance to create this life's work after all this hardship.'. The Brutalist received 10 nominations at this year's Oscars, behind Emilia Perez which landed 13 nods. Adrien has been nominated in the best actor category, and is competing against Timothee Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Ralph Fiennes, and Sebastian Stan.

He is already the recipient of an Academy Award, having won the best actor gong in 2002 for his turn in The Pianist. Adrien plays leading star László Tóth, a Hungarian-Jewish architect in The Brutalist. He stars alongside Alessandro Nivola in the epic movie, directed by Brady Corbet. Adrien has been nominated for the best actor gong at this year's Academy Awards. At the age of 29, he became the youngest actor to win in that category.

Last month, Adrien won a Golden Globe for his performance in The Brutalist. In his acceptance speech, he became visibly emotional as he thanked his girlfriend Georgina Chapman. 'To my beautiful and amazing partner Georgina, your generosity of spirit, your own resilience, your immense creativity are a daily reminder of how to be,' he said. 'I would not be standing here before you if it wasn't for you. 'There was a time not too long ago that I felt this may never be a moment afforded to me again, so thank you.'.
