Baffling footage that got The Brutalist star Adrien Brody ‘permanently banned’ from appearing on SNL has resurfaced amid his Golden Globes success on Sunday night.

The actor, 51, hosted the show just once, in 2003, where he wore a dreadlock wig and put on a Jamaican accent to introduce the musical guest of the night Sean Paul.

In a Vulture profile last December he finally shed some light on the rumours that he had been banned for the sketch. 

He told how he had embellished part of his script which left SNL producer Lorne Michaels unhappy and did admit the pitch was his own – but said that they had got him the costume.

Adrien said of the SNL show: ‘They were all literally agape from me pitching.

‘I think Lorne [Michaels] wasn’t happy with me embellishing a bit, but they allowed me to. I thought that was a safe space to do that, weirdly.’

Brody told the publication that to his knowledge he hadn’t been banned from the show.

He did add however: ‘But I also have never been invited back on. So I don’t know what to tell you.’

It comes as Adrien made headlines on Sunday night after winning Best Performance in a Motion Picture for The Brutalist at the 2025 Golden Globes.

Brody stars in The Brutalist as László Tóth, a Hungarian-born Jewish architect who escapes the Holocaust by emigrating to the U.S. 

Previously nominated for a Golden Globe for his iconic role in The Pianist (2002), for which he also won the Best Actor Oscar, Brody’s latest project is a historical drama directed and co-written by Brady Corbet.

The movie arrived at the Golden Globes with seven nominations, including nods for supporting stars Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce.

Brody catapulted to international fame with his Oscar-winning performance in The Pianist (2002), where he portrayed the Polish-Jewish pianist Władysław Szpilman, earning critical acclaim and a Best Actor Academy Award. 

Following his breakout role, Brody continued to build an eclectic career, starring in films like King Kong (2005), The Darjeeling Limited (2007), and Predators (2010).

Adrien became emotional while paying tribute to his girlfriend Georgina Chapman after winning.

Adrien Brody tears up praising partner Georgina Chapman 7 years after her Harvey Weinstein marriage crumbled

‘To my beautiful and amazing partner Georgina, your generosity of spirit, your own resilience, your immense creativity are a daily reminder of how to be,’ Brody said, visibly emotional. 

‘I would not be standing here before you if it wasn’t for you. There was a time not too long ago that I felt this may never be a moment afforded to me again, so thank you.’

Brody and Chapman first became romantically linked in 2019, marking her first relationship since her 2017 split from disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein. 

The former couple, who married in 2007, finalized their divorce in 2021 and share two children. 

Weinstein, convicted of rape and sexual assault in 2020, was sentenced to 23 years in prison.

'To my beautiful and amazing partner Georgina, your generosity of spirit, your own resilience, your immense creativity are a daily reminder of how to be,' Brody said, visibly emotional

'I would not be standing here before you if it wasn¿t for you. There was a time not too long ago that I felt this may never be a moment afforded to me again, so thank you,' he added

‘I would not be standing here before you if it wasn’t for you. There was a time not too long ago that I felt this may never be a moment afforded to me again, so thank you,’ he added

He later received an additional 16-year sentence for further charges in California, bringing his total prison term to 39 years.

Chapman, the British fashion designer and co-founder of the label Marchesa, left Weinstein in October 2017, shortly after The New York Times published a bombshell investigation detailing decades of sexual harassment and assault allegations against Weinstein.

Chapman publicly announced their separation in a statement, saying she was ‘heartbroken’ by the accusations, but it was clear she wanted to distance herself from the scandal. 

She has largely kept a low profile since then and focused on her work, including her fashion career.
