April 14th, 2008 - Happy Birthday Adrien Brody!
By Allie | April 14, 2008
Adrien Brody (born April 14, 1973) is an American actor.
He’s 35!
He received widespread recognition when he was cast as the lead in Roman Polanski’s The Pianist (2002). The role won him an Academy Award for Best Actor, the youngest actor ever to win the award, and a César Award for Best Actor, the only American actor to win one.
Brody was born in Woodhaven, Queens, New York, the son of Sylvia Plachy, a photojournalist, and Elliot Brody, a retired history professor and painter. Brody’s father is Jewish and his mother was born in Budapest, Hungary to a Catholic father and Jewish mother. As a child, Brody performed magic shows at children’s birthday parties as “The Amazing Adrien”. Brody attended New York’s Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts (famous as the inspiration for television’s Fame). His parents enrolled him in acting classes to distance him from the dangerous kids with whom he associated.
In 1992, Brody was seriously hurt in a motorcycle accident in which he flew over a car and crashed head-first into a crosswalk. He spent months recuperating. An avid daredevil, he has broken his nose three times doing off-the-wall stunts. His nose was also broken once again during the filming of Summer of Sam.
Brody has been confirmed to star as a con man in Rian Johnson’s The Brothers Bloom, which is slated for a 2008 release date.
Personal Life:
Brody is currently dating Elsa Pataky.
