Adrien Brody Wins Second Oscar, Tosses Chewed Relic to Girlfriend Like a True Champion

Buy Me A Coffee

It’s official—Adrien Brody’s gum is now the most iconic piece of memorabilia since the Ruby Slippers. Someone get that thing in a glass case STAT.

The 51-year-old heartthrob—yes, 51 (someone please check this man’s skincare routine)—snagged his second Best Actor win at the 2025 Academy Awards on Sunday (March 2) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. But it wasn’t just the trophy that had people talking—it was the precision gum toss seen ‘round the world.

As Adrien swaggered up to the stage to accept his Oscar, he realized he had some unfinished business. Mid-stride, he plucked his gum from his mouth and YEETED it straight into the awaiting hands of his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman. A perfect pass. No fumbles. NFL scouts, take notes.

The crowd LOST IT. Was this a romantic gesture? A power move? A sign of good luck? Who cares—it was Oscar history.

As if that weren’t enough of a flex, the orchestra then tried to do their usual “wrap it up” routine. But Adrien wasn’t having it.

I’m wrapping up, please turn the music off,” he declared, exuding the confidence of a man who knows his speech deserves uninterrupted airtime.I’ve done this before. Thank you. It’s not my first rodeo, but I will be brief.

(We assume the orchestra collectively gulped and immediately stopped playing. You don’t mess with a two-time Best Actor winner.)

Adrien’s first win was back in 2003 for The Pianist, where he famously grabbed Halle Berry and laid a full-on cinematic smooch on her during his acceptance speech. This year, Halle cheekily recreated the moment on the red carpet, proving that Adrien’s Oscars history isn’t just legendary—it’s downright meme-worthy.

Oh, and in case you forgot, he STILL holds the record for being the youngest actor to win Best Actor—just 29 years old at the time of his first win. Now, two decades later, he’s proving that some guys just don’t miss.

Adrien Brody has an Oscar. He has an iconic gum-throwing technique. He has a girlfriend with elite catching reflexes. And he has TWO Best Actor trophies to flex on us with. Hollywood, your move.
