10 Oscar Winners Who Have Completely Sold Out

4. Adrien Brody

Adrien Brody GilletteOscar Win: Best Actor (The Pianist) Pretend Job: Mr. Integrity Real Job: Hair Technician To prepare for his Oscar-winning role in Roman Polanski's holocaust film, The Pianist, Adrien Brody famously sold all his earthly possessions, such was his dedication to the role and his craft. It paid off, as he became the youngest man in Oscar history to win a Best Actor Academy Award. Skip forward a decade and Adrien is probably regretting selling all his stuff because, to pay for new stuff presumably, he has to take cheques from Gillette to speak utter marketing nonsense like ''Every hair means something." Really? I'll tell that to the hair on my ass - it'll be thrilled!
