"This woman was busily working away with a solvent on my nose," Brody recalls
A crew member on Adrien Brody's movie The Brutalist mistakenly thought the Oscar winner was wearing a prosthetic nose.
Brody, 51, recounted the misunderstanding during his Monday, Feb. 3 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon when Jimmy Fallon asked about the use of prosthetics in the movie, which is up for 10 awards at the 97th Oscars in March.
"They did apply a lot of — they had to do a prosthetic procedure. It's funny, everyone's very busy, it's a movie with a lot of moving pieces and so I had a new team of people who I had never met," Brody shared. "They were removing this apparatus all over me and this woman was busily working away with a solvent on my nose."
"She's just working away, and I said, 'Are you trying to remove that?,' " he recalled, pointing to his nose. "And she said, 'Yes.' " "And I said, 'That doesn't come off,' " he added with a laugh. "And then she says, 'Oh, I'm so sorry.' And then she goes, 'This is going in my diary.' "

Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones in The Brutalist"I was very young then and I've gained a lot of perspective through the years. I've had a wonderful career but there's been plenty of peaks and valleys, and I think right now — I was very aware of how remarkable those circumstances were then," Brody said of his previous Oscar win. "I'm more aware now, and how special and rare this moment is, so I have a tremendous amount of appreciation. I'm so grateful for the recognition. It's a remarkable thing and I'm so grateful for the work."
Timothée Chalamet could surpass Brody as the Oscars' youngest Best Actor winner if he wins for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) and Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice) round out this year's Best Actor category.
