The "Brutalist" star broke a Guinness World Record after speaking for five minutes and 36 seconds while accepting his award at Sunday's ceremony.
Adrien Brody has acknowledged his long-winded acceptance speech at the Oscars.
The “Brutalist” star was naturally overwhelmed to win Best Actor for his performance in the film and took the stage Sunday to share as much, but tried the patience of viewers by speaking for five minutes and 36 seconds — long enough to set an official Guinness World Record.
Brody spoke about the situation Monday in an Instagram video recorded during a leisurely walk.
“I’m gonna keep this video short ’cause I know I made the longest Oscar speech in history,” the actor said through laughter. “So I’m gonna keep it short: I love you all. You know I’m grateful. Keep smiling. And I hope that this proves that dreams can come true.”
“And I hope that your dreams can come true as well,” Brody continued. “God bless you.”
