Adrien Brody won his first Best Actor Oscar in 2003 for his leading performance in Roman Polanski's The Pianist. This put him in the record books, as Brody became the youngest Best Actor Oscar winner in history at 29 years old.

He is a front-runner at the Academy Awards, burning past his colleagues on betting charts over his critically acclaimed achievements in The Brutalist.But unfortunately for Adrien Brody, this is the 2025 Oscars — where controversy seemingly lurks behind every title sequence.

Adrien Brody, 51, is the only actor under 30 to have won the Academy Award in the actor in leading role category, a record he's maintained since 2003.
