Adrien Brody caught the attention of the world in 2002 when he was awarded the Academy Award for Best Actor for "
The Pianist". He was 29 years old, and his record of being the youngest actor to ever receive the award has yet to be broken.
Now at 41 years of age, the tall and lanky
Adrien was here in
Red Dot Island for the gala premiere of historical martial arts movie, "
Dragon Blade". In the movie,
Adrien was the protagonist, a cruel Roman ruler named Tiberius.
He was part of the entourage which consisted of his other co-stars - action superstar
Jackie Chan,
John Cusack,
Chon SiWon,
Lin Peng and
Wang Ruo Xin. A few hours prior, the group had fielded questions from a hoard of photo-hungry media folks at the press conference.
Red Dot Island was their first stop of a whirlwind promotional tour for the film, and during the press con,
Adrien looked visibly jet-lagged. Yet, from time to time, a slow smile would form on his trademark lugubrious features.
That same afternoon, together with her favourite movie-watching companion
Vernon,
Red Dot Diva was patiently waiting outside the 22nd level of Pan Pacific hotel for their roundtable slot with
Adrien. When they were finally ushered into the room,
Adrien (who was dressed in a simple yet stylish combi of dark greyish sweater, blue jeans and white striped scarf), was already standing, politely greeting each media person with a firm handshake.
