Summary
- Adrien Brody's past Oscar gum toss is referenced in light of Jacob Elordi's nomination.
- Elordi's sister allegedly suggested he mimic Brody's gum-tossing moment.
- Elordi prepared for his 'Frankenstein' role by keeping a detailed diary.

Jacob Elordi's first Oscar nomination for his role as the Creature in 'Frankenstein' has drawn parallels to Adrien Brody's memorable 2025 Oscar gum toss incident. Brody's then-girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, revealed she prompted his unique pre-award gesture, offering a potential precedent for Elordi.
Elordi's preparation for the Creature involved meticulous character development, including filling a large diary from the character's perspective. He and director Guillermo del Toro studied silent films to capture subtle yet powerful expressions for their performances.
