Not on the love train with this guy. I detect something sleazy about him, for some reason.

Same here. I've really enjoyed his work in some of his films, but he really gives off the sleaze vibe whenever I see him in interviews or those candid shots. Just something about him...

Definitely. I saw him on The Daily Show and dude was baked. He does seem incredibly sleazy, which is sad given how much I like him. I haven't been able to find a picture of him that showcases why I find him so attractive. My roommates think he's hideous and I keep telling them they have to see him onscreen because otherwise they won't understand. Usually actors leave me cold, lust-wise, because I can't ever think of them as being real people, but he's the exception.

I've seen him in movies and I still think he is ugly as hell. I didn't know what an unpopular opinion that was until I came here!

I thought he was pretty cute in the movie Bread and Roses. I didn't know he dated a professional groupie. Interesting...

I think he's oddly sexy and a great actor.

That's it! His face really should preclude any sexiness when you look at its parts, but somehow it manages anyway.

This quote[/color] by a reviewer sums it up pretty good for me (it's a review of The Jacket):

I’m fascinated by Brody’s flamingo-like physicality. He just doesn’t look like any other movie star and it could be that Maybury agrees with me as the film features an arsenal of close ups of the actor’s face and torso. Tall and broad shouldered with a muscular but whippet-like frame, Brody’s face is angular in the extreme with his hawk nose its most prominent feature. Not unlike his female counterparts, Meryl Streep and Barbra Streisand, Brody appears beautiful from one angle, ugly from another, alien-like from a third. Like all great stars, though, he has eyes that forgive every physical irregularity.

(Btw, director Maybury, who seems like a total loose-cannon in interviews, is directing Sean Bean and Tilda Swinton in that an updated version of MacBeth later this year.)

AB has sad eyes. He's not a movie star, he's an actor. That is, until he did those Coke commercials. Even with an Oscar, good roles may not come easily for Brodie.

I could never find him hot because he looks like a nerdy cousin I have. Except my cousin doesn't have the huge schnoz that Adrien has.

omigod!

I didn't think it was even possible to dislike this guy anymore than I already do. You have proved me wrong with this article though.

"Suffers for his art?" You have noo idea how much this sentence annoys me.

And comparing his experience as an ACTOR in A Thin Red Line to that of a real life soldier? I have never seen this movie but damn!

It makes me just want to kick his skinny little ass soo bad....

Edited for spelling...I am just so mad I can't even spell right.,

I've always been in that minority that thinks large, bold noses lend a striking beauty/handsomeness to certain peoples' faces. He fits in that category for me. The lanky build, sad, purty eyes, and thick dark hair just complete the package.

I also agree that given great or not so great scripts to work with, he's consistently shown himself to be a truly gifted actor with charismatic screen presence.

All that said, I'm in the camp that did not care for the grab 'n French thing he pulled on Halle. Added to that, I also get a skeezy, poser vibe off of him at times.

Yeah, he's one "multi-faceted" lil' critter, isn't he?
