Adrien Brody's peculiar appearance and natural charm served him well on the way to success. He is called an actor, an intellectual, considered strange and arrogant, some people dislike him, others admire the scale of his acting abilities. But one thing is clear, he did not know an indifferent attitude towards himself, including from women.
For the first time, Adrian fell in love at the age of 16 and, as usual, was not ready to admit it:
"On stage, I said a bunch of times: "I love you", it turned out to be much more difficult to really do it..."
It is much easier to flirt for pleasure and live without obligations. Actually, this is how Brody lives to this day – he was not married, he has no children, and his flirtation mania is just a gold mine for the tabloids. There were only a few real love stories in Adrian's life, with plans for the future and a common home... But let's go chronologically.
Looking ahead, to justify the lack of variety of photographs of his youthful passions, the tabloids were not particularly interested in Brody until he won an Oscar in 2002 (The Pianist, remember?). Only after that, the paparazzi included him in their list of VIP objects. The actor himself said on this occasion, either with resentment or with irony:
"It was the Oscar that made me famous, not 17 years of working in the cinema..."
The first passion of Brody, about whom the public found out, was the model and DJ Sky Nellor.
Their romance happened in the late 90s. But this relationship did not mean anything serious to him, and therefore Brody easily had an affair on the side with actress Monit Mazur.
He dated Monit for about a year (2001), but he also left her before the filming of The Pianist.
Having received the coveted statuette, the actor found himself in the epicenter of universal admiration and female attention. The girls suddenly began to fall in piles at Brody's feet. But he is a guy in his own mind, and therefore he did not fall for all this fan flattery, but found a girl with modest appearance and the same modest acting baggage.
The affair with Michelle Dupont was not an affair, but more like a healthy adult relationship. They went out everywhere together, and seemed to be happy. But, as the actor himself likes to repeat, something did not work out - before the filming of Manoletta in 2006, they broke up.
In general, for Adrian, the process of filming and getting used to the role have always been more important than matters of the heart. Therefore, he often broke off relations before a long period of filming, and therefore, rumors of office romances burst like soap bubbles when the final "stop, action!" sounded. This was the case with Keira Knightley ("Jacket") and Penelope Cruz ("Manoletta").
But love cannot be written down in the schedule and postponed for the inter-shooting period. Preparing for his role as a bullfighter ("Manoletta") in Spain, Adrian met a local celebrity, model and actress Elsa Pataky, in tutoring lessons.
Everything contributes to the birth of real passion - the atmosphere, the state of mind of the actor and, of course, the charm of the Spanish beauty. They quickly become one of the favorite couples of the Hollywood tabloids. Brody finally looks happy.
But, as the saying goes, "if not you, then you." Elsa turned out to be very eccentric, and even a desperately jealous young lady - quarrels, scandals, unexpected visits to the set. Pataki did not give up trying to catch the faithful in treason, although she had no reason for this.
Adrian was patient with such antics and tried in every possible way to prove his love. For example, on Elsa's birthday, he gave her a 4-story castle in the vicinity of New York and invited Armani to reconstruct it.
Such a beautiful gesture briefly calmed the ardor of her girlfriend, and the press was already waiting for the announcement of the engagement. And after a joint trip to Africa, Pataki said that Adrian is the one with whom she wants to spend the rest of her life.
However, however. In the summer of 2009, Elsa Pataky was caught having a romantic lunch with Olivier Martinez in Paris. Brody refrained from commenting, and Elsa a couple of months later openly made it clear to the press that she had a new boyfriend.
Now the beauty is dating Chris Hemsforth
Over the past two years, Brody has been credited with several pseudo-novels, one more curious than the other. First with January Jones
The actor in every possible way denied the romantic relationship between them, but the word "friendship" is rarely found in the tabloids. Then there was an even more ridiculous "romance" with Jennifer Aniston.
Although at that time, Jen was dating Gerard Butler, a friend of Brody.
And at one of the post-parties of the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, the actor flirted with Paris Hilton. True, the initiative here, they say, came from her.
In one of his interviews, after breaking up with Elsa Pataki, Brody described his bachelor life as follows:
«… Now I live, so to speak, scattered, like a youth. And what – I like it! Freedom, clubs, pranks, unloading. There are so many beauties around!"
By the way, once Brody swore that after Skye, Nellor would never get involved with models again. However, masculine principles tend to evaporate in the face of youth and charm. Brody's current passion is model Paige Hathaway.
How typical this is for a man under 40!
P.s.: From an interview with Adrien Brody for Esquire magazine: "Once I almost went into a cow *op. In India, I bought a motorcycle — my friend and I drove like damned. One day I was rushing along a narrow road. A tuk-tuk (three-wheeled auto-rickshaw) rode ahead. I pressed against the side of the road to go around it and then suddenly I saw a cow in front of me. She looked at me with her honest cow eyes. I slammed on the brake, flew out of the saddle, flew over the handlebars, and flew headfirst straight into the cow's butt. But the cow dodged, and I fell on the asphalt. I remember lying there thinking, 'Damn, what a ridiculous death it could be!'"
