Adrien Brody had to overcome a sticky issue involving chewing gum after he was announced the winner in the Best Actor category at the 2025 Academy Awards.

Brody attended Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood with his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, who saved the day after her man won the huge honor.

Check out video, which shows the moment Adrien walks toward the stage to accept his Oscar statue after Cillian Murphy announced his victory for his leading role as architect László Tóth in the film, “The Brutalist.”

Brody suddenly stops and turns to Chapman, who comes running up behind him. Adrien removes the gum and tosses it to Chapman, who does her best to try to catch it, before dashing back to her seat. Funny moment!

After he stepped onstage, Brody delivered an emotional speech, thanking God for his “blessed life” and “every individual that has treated me with respect and appreciation.” He also spoke about his passion for acting.

By the way, Adrien beat out other Best Actor nominees: Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”), Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”), Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”) and Sebastian Stan (“The Apprentice”).

American actress Tiya Sircar was 33 years old when she first booked the role as Vicky — the charity worker who ends up in “The Bad Place,” but evolves into a creative architect — on NBC’s sitcom “The Good Place” in 2016.

Tiya was part of an ensemble cast including Kristen Bell as the selfish one who finds herself in poorly thought-out schemes, Eleanor Shellstrop, Ted Danson as the charming afterlife architect with all the info on humanity, Michael and Jameela Jamil as the well-educated and fashionable ‘Good Place’ architect.

All eyes are on Travis Hunter ahead of the NFL Draft … and while there are plenty of questions marks surrounding what position he’ll play at the next level, Patrick Peterson has a solution.

The eight-time Pro Bowler — widely regarded as one of the greatest cornerbacks of his time — spoke with TMZ Sports with April 24 approaching … and got his thoughts on the potential top pick.

Peterson recommends whoever gets the Colorado Heisman trophy winner makes the most of his dual-threat abilities … instead of picking one side of the ball.

“I think they definitely should let him play both sides of the ball just because he’s that dynamic,” Peterson said. “He’s that valuable on both sides of the football.”

Hunter, the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner, has expressed his desire to continue what he did in college … saying at the NFL Combine he does things his own way — even if no one else has really taken advantage of playing almost every down.

“I got my own unique play style,” Hunter said. “I play both sides of the ball. Not many people in the NFL have done it.”

In addition to Hunter, this year’s draft will feature other talented athletes, including Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, Miami quarterback Cam Ward, and pass rusher Abdul Carter from Penn State.
