Adrien Brody has revealed that he has yet to accept a new role in the wake of his Best Actor Academy Award last March for his performance in The Brutalist.<\/p>\n
Deadline reported in March shortly after the Oscar win that the actor<\/a> was in early talks with Damien Chazelle over a role in his film Evel Knievel on Tour.<\/p>\n More from Deadline<\/p>\n The two-time Oscar winner told an on-stage conversation at Saudi Arabia\u2019s Red Sea Film Festival on Saturday, that he has yet to take on any new films.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve not taken a film since The Brutalist. It\u2019s not because I have not had interesting opportunities, but it didn\u2019t feel quite right,\u201d he said. \u201cI love to work and I love to collaborate with people, and I love to be immersed. I like to be creating. I like the problem solving. I thrive on that level of immersion.\u201d<\/p>\n Sharing lessons learned across his 40-year career with a mainly young local crowd of aspiring actors and filmmakers, Brody advised them to experiment as much as possible early on in their careers.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you\u2019re young, or when your career is young, you should explore anything that remotely feels like an opportunity for you to grow, regardless of any other financial remuneration or anything,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cAny professional experience is the biggest lesson\u2026 failing or overcoming the obstacles or pressure on set, will only strengthen you for the future obstacles to come.\u201d<\/p>\n Talking about his own career choices, Brody said he had experimented early on but become more selective in the wake of his first Best Actor Academy Award forThe Pianist in 2003.<\/p>\n \u201cI assumed that I had less to prove, that I am a good actor and that I can take work that felt interesting and you have a responsibility to a career trajectory. I was quite young, and it takes time to understand that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Brody has been hanging out in the Gulf on and off these past two weeks. Spotted at the Fashion Trust Arabia fundraiser in Doha in November, he has been back in the region these past days as a guest of the Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah.<\/p>\n Talking in more depth about his Oscar-winning performance in The Brutalist, Brody recalled the gruelling shoot.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Brutalist we made with very little resources\u2026 It\u2019s a three-and-a-half-hour epic movie shot on VistaVision which is a camera system that is remarkable, that hasn\u2019t been used since the 60s\u2026\u00a0 it\u2019s cumbersome and loud, but wonderful and beautiful\u2026 and provides a unique experience for audiences today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe shot that movie in 23 days and that was very difficult, it meant no rest and not even sufficient turnaround time,\u201d he continued. \u201cWhen you do this six days a week for five weeks, you\u2019re very depleted.\u201d<\/p>\n Brody revealed he had a tendency to be very self-contained, even solitary during a shoot.<\/p>\n \u201cI have no personal life when I\u2019m filming. As much as I love the people I work with, I don\u2019t hang out with my fellow actors and crew when I have any heavy day\u2026 or any emotional work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI sometimes won\u2019t eat lunch so as to not be tired as your body has to then digest\u2026 I\u2019ve been doing this my entire adult life. I have my own techniques, self-preservation and emotional protection to have the space to give when needed.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou have to hope that you\u2019re able to. It\u2019s not a science and you\u2019re not a machine. So some days you\u2019re not going to be your best. You have to find ways to snap yourself out of whatever the personal distractions are, whatever the complexity is on set that day.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Deadline<\/p>\n Sign up for Deadline’s Newsletter<\/a>.
