Adrien Brody on SNL Ban Rumors and Career

Adrien Brody has addressed rumors of being banned from Saturday Night Live following a controversial 2003 episode where he introduced musical guest Sean Paul with a Jamaican accent and dreadlock wig. Despite the speculation, Brody clarified in a Vulture interview that he has never been officially banned, though he noted he's also never been invited back. The incident resurfaced in conversation after Brody won a Golden Globe for his role in 'The Brutalist,' a film he described as challenging and rewarding. Brody explained that the skit was his idea, though the costume was provided by SNL, and acknowledged that Lorne Michaels, SNL's creator, was not pleased with his improvisation. The video of the performance has since been removed from SNL's official channels. Brody expressed gratitude for his career's successes and challenges, emphasizing the meaningfulness of his recent work.
