At the 2025 Oscars, Adrien Brody snagged his second Best Actor Academy Award for his role in The Brutalist. The 51-year-old star was clearly moved when his name was announced, celebrating a significant achievement in his career. But as he headed to the stage to accept the award, he did something that stirred up a lot of anger among viewers, with many calling it "disgusting." Let’s dive into the incident that stole the spotlight from his big moment.

Adrian Brody's 'gross' behavior while accepting the Best Actor award at the 2025 Oscars

Brody beat out some tough competition from nominees like Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Sebastian Stan, and Ralph Fiennes to snag the award. As he made his way to the stage, he casually spat out his chewing gum, tossing it towards his girlfriend Georgina Chapman, according to the Daily Mail. He was seen sprinting over to her to make sure she caught it before he launched into his acceptance speech for Best Actor.

During his speech, Brody mentioned, “Winning this award feels like reaching a destination, something my character talks about in the film.” He added, “But for me, it’s more than just a career high; it’s a chance to start fresh and hopefully prove over the next 20 years that I deserve to take on meaningful and significant roles.”

Some netizens voiced their frustration over the length of his speech after winning the Golden Statue, where he expressed gratitude to Chapman and her two kids with Weinstein. He shared, “I know it’s been a wild ride. Thanks for bringing me into your life,” and mentioned that the kids affectionately call him “popsie.”

A user posted on X, “That’s not really the kind of flex he should’ve gone for.” Another chimed in, “He could’ve just passed it to her quietly.” A third user commented, “Adrien Brody tossing his gum at Georgina Chapman while heading up to accept his award honestly shocked me more than Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.”

Someone else added, “Adrien Brody could’ve taken that long speech to apologize to his partner for tossing gum at her,” while another remarked, “Adrien Brody throwing gum at his wife and then trying to deliver an emotional speech is somehow even worse than both??”
