Adrien Brody has not taken a film role since his Oscar-winning portrayal in The Brutalist, and he has now revealed why. “It’s not because I have not had interesting opportunities, but it didn’t feel quite right,” the 52-year-old said at Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Festival on Saturday. Brody revealed that he became more selective about the roles he chose after winning his first Academy Award in 2003 for The Pianist. “I assumed that I had less to prove, that I am a good actor,” the two-time Academy Award winner said. The actor also spoke about the intensity of filming The Brutalist, which he said was completed in just 23 days. “I have no personal life when I’m filming. As much as I love the people I work with, I don’t hang out with my fellow actors and crew when I have any heavy day,” Brody said, telling the audience that sometimes he doesn’t eat during filming to preserve energy and avoid tiring his body with digestion. “It’s not a science and you’re not a machine. So some days you’re not going to be your best,” the actor said.
