The experience of understanding that deep sense of hunger has never left me. To understand what that opened up inside me is still terribly upsetting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAdrien also revealed that he&#8217;s followed his dad&#8217;s advice throughout his acting career.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe shared: &#8220;At 14, I booked the lead role of a public television movie called &#8216;Home at Last&#8217;. My dad took me and, right before that audition, said, &#8216;Just go in there like you already have the job. You&#8217;re just showing them how you are going to do it.&#8217; I thought that was such great advice. Just present what you&#8217;re capable of doing, and then their loss if they don&#8217;t want you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAdrien recently insisted that his success has &#8220;never been easy&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe veteran actor believes he&#8217;s ultimately benefited and learned from a series of setbacks earlier in his career.<\/p>\n<p>\nSpeaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Adrien explained: &#8220;You do not listen until you fail or until it really hurts. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;For a shift to occur, there has to be enlightenment. Enlightenment comes oftentimes through suffering or hardships. I\u2019ve had a very blessed life and career, but it\u2019s never been easy. The thing to know is there are many chapters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/adrien-brody-admits-watch-pianist-1411570.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 January 2025 Adrien Brody &#8220;can\u2019t watch&#8221; &#8216;The Pianist&#8217;.
