This is an old interview with Adrien Brody (after receiving an Academy Award for his performance in The Pianist)
Brandon Voss, who does the
"Big Gay Following" column for The Advocate, sent me this excerpt from his latest column, a chat with Oscar winner
Adrien Brody who did not at all like some of Brandon's questions and told him so!
Do guys still hit on you?
I guess I'd be disappointed if they didn't.
What if a man had presented you with your Oscar instead of Halle Berry? Were you so wrapped up in the moment that you might've have kissed him too?
That's a pretty silly question. No, obviously not. Part of the excitement was that it was a beautiful woman presenting me with such a beautiful moment in my life.
Is there any actor for whom you would've made an exception?
No.
Let's try another approach: For your next gay role, who'd you choose for your on-screen love interest?
You want me to name an actor? No, I can't answer that question, Brandon. See, you ask me how I deal with rumors, and I also have to deal with not adding fuel to them. Something that would be a completely innocuous comment on my part will be completely taken out of context by the next journalist, so I'd appreciate it if you were understanding about that.
Have I put you in a bad mood?
I'm still in a good mood, but I'm also a relatively serious person, so these questions are difficult for me.
So I guess I shouldn't ask if it's true what they say about a man with a prominent nose?
Why would you do that to somebody? You and I don't know each other, right? We're complete strangers, actually. I'm being respectful to you, so you have to extend the same courtesy.
Oh, Adrien, it's all in good fun. I'm trying to show your sense of humor here.
I didn't sign up for that.
I've got nothing against homosexuals but this is weird. Poor Adrien Brody! :P
I've just seen The Pianist and it's awesome (just in case you wonder why I googled A.B. ;)) - gonna post about it!
And now:
