Oscars 2025: Adrien Brodyโs bizarre act before accepting Best Actor award
โI am wrapping up, please. Please turn the music off, I have done this before! It is not my first rodeo but I will be brief, I will not be egregious, I promise,โ he said.
Brody did give a shout-out to Chapman and her two children, saying, โI know it has been a rollercoaster. Thank you for accepting me into your life.โ
Despite his lengthy speech, all anyone can talk about is how he tossed his chewed-up gum at his girlfriend instead of swallowing it. Or even just putting it in his pocket.
People online were left freaked out by the brazen act. It is not every day you see a man throw his chewed-up food at his girlfriend, clearly expecting her to catch it.
โWho even does that?โ one asked.
โGross,โ another remarked.
โWhat a pig,โ someone else said.
Not everyone was disgusted, though. Someone on X called it the โmost romantic thing theyโve ever seenโ, and another called it a sign of โtrue loveโ.
Someone else declared that men should look for a woman who is prepared to catch their gum for them, and another said it was a sign of a โsolid marriageโ, although the two are only dating.
There were also just a ton of people in disbelief that a grown man would fling gum at his partner.
Despite Brodyโs gum-throwing, he has previously gushed about Chapman, whom he has been dating for several years.
When he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor he called her โbeautiful and amazingโ and referred to her as his partner.
โYour generosity of spirit, your own resilience, your immense creativity are a daily reminder of how to be. I would not be standing here before you if it wasnโt for you,โ he gushed.
Chapman is a fashion designer but is also known for being married to movie producer Harvey Weinstein for over a decade and sharing two children with him.
The pair divorced in 2017 after numerous women made accusations of sexual harassment against the big-time producer.
By May 2018, he was arrested and charged with rape in New York City; he was found guilty of two of the five felony counts and is now serving a 20-year sentence in prison.
