They say that in life there is no place for chance. Everything that happens is predestined by fate. If, in the fall of 1956, an anti-communist uprising did not break out in Hungary, as a result of which more than two thousand people were killed, the parents of little Sylvia Plachi, fleeing pogroms, would not have fled to New York. And Sylvia, having grown up and having received the education of a photojournalist, would not have met a history teacher with the Polish-Jewish roots of Elliot Brody and would not marry him. And on April 14, 1973, they would not have had Adrian's son, a boy with an unusual appearance and amazing acting talent. Childhood Adrian Brody was held on the outskirts of Quint - the largest area of New York, located on the island of Long Island. Adrian grew up in a real fidget, his unbridled temperament would be enough for ten. "I was always very impressionable - this quality came to me from ancestors, the actor told. I reacted to everything that was happening around me emotionally, not as an example to other children. Many people considered me to be a naughty and restless child. However, most likely, that's exactly the way it was. " Emancipated, fully laid out on the screen, in the life of Adrian remained shy and withdrawn. After his first major role, he first experienced and tender feelings - fell in love with his peer Jill. But he could not admit to her in love. "By the age of 16, I managed to play quite romantic roles in theatrical productions," Adrian said. On the stage, I often had to say to a partner: "I love you". But it turned out that it is much more difficult to pronounce these three simple words in life. At least, I could not. "
In the future, Adrian Brody did not even have to remain at the time even for a more or less serious relationship - he plunged into work. Already in the next. In 1989, Adrian was given a small role in one of the novels of the movie almanac "New York stories" - a joint project of Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, who shot Brody in his short film. Then came the passing roles in the soap operas, and in 1993 the drama of Stephen Soderbergh "King of the Hill" was released. Despite the modest contribution to it Adrian Brody. his charisma has not gone unnoticed by picky film critics. With each following role, the actor only added points to the individual score. In 1999, Brody was only two steps away from winning the "Best Male Role" nomination of the Independent Independent Film Independent Independent Film Award - critics were fascinated by his work in the romantic history of "The Restaurant". They generally began to closely monitor everything that Adrian Brody is doing on the screen. In addition, a few months before the award ceremony, the film "The Thin Red Line" was released. And although, to the great regret of Brody himself, his role as a result of the installation was shredded to insignificant fragments, the played enabled him to write it into "actors with high expectations". And the film itself became one of his business cards. Brody's ears began to sound more and more often. One of the critics said about his work: "Any role of Adrian Brody is based on credibility. No matter how commonplace the plot of the film and how insignificant the role is, in the performance of this actor everything suddenly acquires a deep and even philosophical meaning. " The methodology of work, the degree of dedication and the habit of getting used to each of its roles gave rise to other actors to talk about arrogance and sullenness Adrian. One of the actresses somehow complained to reporters that on the set Brody does not communicate with anyone, does not greet and in general behaves defiantly. In response to this accusation, the actor stated: "I am not at all justified - there is nothing. I'm not a robot and I can not always be in a stationary position. I think I'm quite cheerful and sociable person. I like to fool around. Even if there are times when I do not notice anyone, it's only because of the role. At the time of filming, I am reincarnating in my hero. Inside me something is changing, and this allows me to better experience the emotions of my character. " Ride on Ryan Brour in his youth.
In 2005, director Peter Jackson, already famous for the trilogy "The Lord of the Rings", released another major project-a remake of the cult "King Kong" with Brodie in the title role. Opinions of the audience were divided. Some claimed that Brody was in this picture in his place and that only he saved the order of the podnadoevshuyu all about the giant monkey. Others argued that Brody's peculiar appearance is not suitable for films of an easy genre, during which you can crack popcorn. Brody himself, however, was satisfied with both the role and the picture: "After the Pianist, I was worried that I would be offered exceptionally dramatic roles. Fortunately, this did not happen. I'm ready to continue to try myself in all genres, including those in which "King Kong" refers. Erroneous are those who say that I agreed to the shooting for money. If I always think only about the fee, it will immediately affect the quality of my work. Therefore, everything I do is really interesting to me. " In the fall of 2007, Adrian Brody nearly died, and quite absurdly. The actor starred in India in the adventure comedy "Train to Darjeeling. Desperate travelers. " "In the break between shooting I decided to ride with the wind on the highway - I was just overwhelmed by the thirst for adventure," Brody later recalled. So I got my portion of adrenaline. I drove along the road on a motorcycle, I got attached to a motor-rickshaw. And when he suddenly turned sharply aside, I found a cow in front of me. By some miracle, I managed to lose speed and go round the animal, which only indifferently sideways in my direction. And I had a thought during these maneuvers: this is how Brodie actor will go down in history - like a man who died, crashing into the back of a cow. So many years worked - and such a finale! I also thought: I have not had so much yet. " However, the success of Adrian Brody in the movie was balanced by failures in his personal life. However, in 2006 there was an event that caused Adrian Brody to reconsider his views on the relationship. He met the actress Elsa Pataki. In her homeland, in Spain, she is as popular as Penelope Cruz. Adrian and Elsa met before the filming of "Manoleta", where Brody played a bullfighter. Adrian went to a specialist in dialects - he worked on Spanish. And Elsa was pulling up English. The moment of their meeting, Brody remembers to the smallest detail: what Elsa was wearing, on what machine she came, what she said, how she squinted her eyes. "And even though it was awkward for me to be with such a beautiful woman, I knew that I wanted to stay with her again and again," Brody, fascinated at that time, confessed. Probably, this is called love at first sight. I do not know where I got the courage, but I said, "I'm going to Spain soon. I do not have a friend there. Maybe we'll have lunch together somehow? "And she agreed. Can you imagine? "
Adrian and Elsa began to meet. Perhaps these were exactly the relationships Brody had dreamed of, ordinary, without the slightest glimpse of stardom, without envy, which usually can be found in the union of two actors. They swore to make up. We parted to reconcile again. Adrian even decided to introduce Elsa to his parents - this already indicated that he sees the future in this relationship. Sylvia immediately noted that her son became much more confident and sensible in matters that related to family life. And Brody himself once mentioned that Elsa had taught him to be gentle. They lay together on the beach, went shopping, went to travel to Africa in pursuit of new experiences. "I want to spend the rest of my life only with Adrian," Elsa Pataki assured the journalists. My parents divorced when I was little. Pain and suffering were left in me for life. I do not want to part with the person I love. " Brody was also in love with the Spanish beauty. In 2008, he did what he never did for anyone. No, he did not offer Else to marry him. He just gave her a luxurious 4-story castle in the vicinity of New York. And immediately was recorded by the public in incorrigible romance. At the castle Adrian came across on the Internet when he was looking for a gift for the 32nd birthday of his girlfriend. As is often the case in such cases, he immediately realized: this is the place in which he would like to live with Elsa.
