Adrien Brody’s girlfriend Georgina Chapman reveals his disgusting Oscars gum toss was HER idea

Adrien Brody shocked the Oscars audience when he tossed a piece of gum he was chewing towards his girlfriend of five years, Georgina Chapman, before delivering his best actor acceptance speech on March 2.

But apparently, the disgusting gesture was all the British 49-year-old’s idea.

‘I asked him to do it,’ Georgina confessed to Page Six last week.

‘I saw him standing there, I could see that moment of panic on his face. He was really like, “Wow, I shouldn’t be having gum.”‘

Chapman yelled ‘give it to me’ but failed to catch the sticky shrapnel from seven feet away inside the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

‘I forgot I was chewing gum, and I can’t make a speech with gum in my mouth,’ the 52-year-old Brutalist star tried to explain on LIVE with Kelly and Mark backstage at the Oscars.

Mark Consuelos agreed that Adrien couldn’t swallow the gum because ‘it’s bad for you.’

‘I could’ve!’ Brody groaned.

‘I didn’t think about that. [I just thought], “I’ve got to get rid of this somehow!”‘

The two-time Oscar winner and the Marchesa co-founder made their official red carpet debut as a couple in 2021 but, curiously, she has yet to make an appearance on his social media accounts.

Things got even more awkward onstage for Adrien, whose droning five-minute and 40-second speech broke Academy Awards history, but he did gush that Georgina was ‘amazing’ and he’s nicknamed ‘Popsy’ by her two children.

Indeed, Chapman welcomed 14-year-old daughter India and 12-year-old son Dashiell during her decade-long marriage to disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, which ended in 2017 (divorce finalized in 2021).

The 73-year-old Miramax co-founder not only requested that all his actors wear his wife’s fashion label, he also produced Project Runway which hired her as a judge for 90 episodes.

Harvey is battling a rare type of bone marrow cancer known as chronic myeloid leukemia while behind bars at Rikers Island awaiting his rape re-trial in New York and appealing his 16-year sentence for rape in Los Angeles.

‘It is a little daunting when you have an Oscar winner, a double Oscar winner as a partner,’ Georgina told Us Weekly of her own acting aspirations last week.

‘I could never quite live up to that standard.’

Chapman added: ‘I don’t know if anyone else would want to see me act.’

The Wimbledon School of Art grad keeps busy running Marchesa, named after socialite Marchesa Luisa Casati, which she co-founded with Keren Craig in 2004.

Meanwhile, Brody was said to have previously romanced his Giallo co-star Elsa Pataky and his The Jacket co-star Keira Knightley. 

It’s been over a decade since the native New Yorker wrapped the titular role of Charles V in Lee Tamahori’s 16th century action epic Emperor, which was never released due to legal issues.

Emperor was also set to feature Bill Skarsgård, Oliver Platt, and the late Rutger Hauer.
