Adrien Brody Put on Muscle and Quit Sex for "Predators"Posted: March 15th, 2010 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
During a press conference at SXSW for the upcoming "Predators" remake, Adrien Brody talked about the changes he had to make to play Royce, a block-ops soldier brought to an alien planet to be hunted.
"I put on 25 pounds for this role," said Brody. "That wasn't the point. They didn't hire me to be a bodybuilder. I'm not a bodybuilder, but I felt in order to be playful with it as well I shouldn't be strapped. It's not the physical strength that outsmarts an alien with energy-based weapons and high tracking skills and a culture of hunting and trophy hunting. You have to outsmart them."
He also talked about his preparation methods. "My nightly ritual was like poring over survival manuals and military and paramilitary training books," said Brody. "I was reading Sun Tzu, I was studying meditation, I was on a very strict diet, I wasn't drinking, I wasn't eating sugar, I wasn't having sex. I was very focused. I had to kind of go there, for me, because this is a tremendous opportunity for me."

And after all that he still looks like an average bloke with a massive nose.
I'll still probably watch this, but just imagine having a cast like in The Expendables for this.

What the f*ck is with that "no sex" thing?
Ok, Adrien, I understand you for not having sex while filming The Pianist - it was worth it, it was understandable. But not to have sex while filming Predators?
Have you seen Jesse Ventura in the original? Have you seen Arnie?
Each looked like he had 10 chicks on a d*ck while wrecking sh*t and playing billiard with other peoples heads and still called it a boring weekday.

Adrien Brody is a skilled actor in my opinion. Yeah he has a big nose and he might not seem to fit the role as a mercenary but I respect him as an actor for taking the role seriously. He's a great actor, and it might not seem like Predators is such a good career choice lol but if he's working hard and not just for the paycheck then I think he deserves some credit.

Put on muscle? What... he didn't blow his nose for 3 days?
And the 'Semen Retention Plan' doesn't work (as Robert Blake called it years ago on The Tonight Show with Carson) - at least I don't believe it works, I won't try it.

@encore - I like Brody. He doesn't have the 'classical good-looks' or bod, so he has to make it on talent. I liked him in Hollywoodland.

Good on the man to do this, he knew when RR asked him to do it he was setting himself up to be ripped apart, so I'm going to give him a go because just as Ranger and Encore saying the has got talent and is at least making an effort.

Brody looks like the low end of muscle mass in real world operators. Someone with some skill that makes up for not being big. That being said, this is a MOVIE!!! I want juiced up wrecking machines zinging out one liners as they march towards failed careers as governor. But he's a good actor so I'll give this film a chance.

You gotta like Brody. Great actor, cool person (training with RZA to become a hip hop producer), and not just another pretty face. I hated him for a minute after he molested Halle at the Oscars, but then I realized I would have done the same thing (probably worse). He's always gone all out for his craft (you should hear his routine for The Jacket), but always seems to maintain his sanity and charm when the job's done unlike many other method actors.
@Encoreface: "see this why Heath Ledger ruled as the Joker, study and hard work on your own time without anybody asking it of you, that's the way to go."
Its called Method acting. Heath was good at it, but he didn't know his own limits and he paid the price. "Becoming" a character can be very dangerous and damaging to an actor's real persona. Guys like DeNiro, Kilmer, Warren Beatty, and Bale are widely recognized as Method actors, but its no coincidence that they're also widely known for their radical mood swings, eccentric nature, and difficulties on the set. That's why I respect guys like Brody who can attack a role with the same dedication as these others but never lose site of who they really are. Did I mention Brody does all of this while only getting paid like $2-4 mill a movie (yes even after his Oscar)?

Dumbass - the more sex you have the more testostorone your body produces. The exact opposite of "No Sex before the big fight" old wive's tale is actually true.
No matter what this guy does he is a nancy boy with a big nose.

Brody looks more like special forces than ANYONE in the first predator movie or most movies where a huge guy is a S.E.A.L. or Ranger or Delta. The real deal operators are NOT huge balls of c*mbersome muscle. Granted, there are some that are bug. but NEVER close to Arnie or Ventura! They stay lean, quick, and maintain high stamina. In a fight on the mats, size matters. When youre running, gunning, climbing, dragging, lifting, and on top of this might have to fight another at least semi trained individual for your life, YOU WANT TO BE LEAN AND LONG WINDED! Not JACKED! I work with some ex SF guys and they are built EXACTLY like Brody!

@lawman - well said.
In addition... a post above said it well. Predator fans want to see beef-cakes like Arnie, and Ventura dish out some mano-a-alien sh*t on the big screen.
Brody is understated... I like that about him, and have no worries he can pull anything off.
I think we're all just having Arnie withdrawals!

although it is smarts that beats the Predator, Arnie couldn't have done it without being ripped.
if he was Brody (whom i do not care if he's ripped or not) it would be 'game over' ("game over man!game over"!) because he probably wouldn't be able to lift that huge log to crush the Predator in the end ... of course he could have done it some other way ...
i just have my fingers crossed that this will stay true to Predator 1 & 2 and not end up all AVP-ish (you all know what i mean ...)

@Lawman - yeah... the mini-gun. Hollywood counting on most of the audience that it takes the generating power of a jet turbine (Huey, or fighter jets) to power one. I guess Ventura had the turbine jammed up his ass because he wasn't a 'Slack-jaw'd faggot!' lol.
