Adrien Brody talks "The Brothers Bloom"
May 27, 2009 by Lance Carter
Is this movie out yet? I’ve seen so many articles and trailers and previews already it feels like it’s been around for years.
On why he took the role: “I was in India and I’d done ‘The Darjeeling Limited,’ and I was kind of on this kind of weird, trippy adventure. And then there was this kind of heightened surrealistic quality in Rian’s material that had an emotional truth but was also kind of a different adventure. And that’s what had attracted me. And what I discovered was something far more complex personally and more challenging than I would’ve actually liked.”
On the roles he’s drawn too: “There should always be an emotional truth no matter what, but I am drawn to a kind of lighter material at the moment, just because it feels good. It just feels good to take that home at night and to work with that and to try to bring some truth to that and yet at the same time maintain the humor. So that’s kind of what I was drawn to.”
On the life of an actor: “There are similarities with the way Bloom was feeling and the life of an actor. Not necessarily a correlation between the con man and an actor. But the fact that you do experience all of these wonderful and creative and exciting experiences, but they’re not your own. At the end of the day, someone’s always calling cut. … So it was very important at that time of my life to kind of take some time for myself — I’d been working a lot — and work on my life and fulfilling those things.”
