And as a young man I did not feel that I could faithfully honour all that was on my shoulders with &#8216;The Pianist&#8217;, so I dug very deep. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I abandoned my life, loved ones, home, phone, car in order to deliver truth. But it&#8217;s less toxic now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adrien&#8217;s approach to his film career has changed in recent years, and the actor is no longer willing to &#8220;torment&#8221; himself for a role.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I no longer think it&#8217;s necessary to torment yourself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Adrien 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>\nAdrien won his Academy Award more than two decades ago &#8211; but the movie star rubbished the suggestion that he was an &#8220;overnight success&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe explained: &#8220;I\u2019d been acting professionally for 17 years before that [Oscar]. To a lot of people, I was an overnight success, but I\u2019d been kicking around, paying dues. And it was a remarkable thing, but it was kind of jarring.&#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-recalls-abandoning-life-pianist-1412356.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19 January 2025 Adrien Brody &#8220;abandoned&#8221; his life for his role in &#8216;The Pianist&#8217;.
