FANS were grossed out when The Brutalist's Adrien Brody threw chewing gum at his girlfriend.
Adrien, 51, scooped the gong for his performance in The Brutalist when he was announced as winning Best Actor.
Adrien played the leading role in the movie which is about a Hungarian-Jewish Holocaust survivor who immigrates to the United States and struggles to achieve the American Dream.
Moved and emotional as he was announced as the winner of the coveted trophy, Adrien then made his way on stage.
But as he got up out of his seat and made his way to the steps, he did something that viewers found a little strange.
Walking up the steps of the stage to collect his gong and give his acceptance speech, Adrien removed some chewing gum from his mouth before doing something with it that nobody saw coming.
Turning around to face is girlfriend Georgina Chapman, Adrien threw his gum at her.
Georgina, 48, who is Harvey Weinstein's ex wife, caught the gum in her hands before watching her boyfriend accept his Best Actor gong.
Fans were totally taken aback as they tuned into the 97th Academy Awards.
Reacting on X, one person said: "Adrien Brody THROWING his gum at Georgina Chapman while on the stairs to accept his award I honestly more shocking to me than Will Smith slapping Chris Rock."
"Arrest Adrien Brody for hurling his gum at his wife at the Oscars," said another.
FANS DIVIDED OVER GUM THROW
A third person added: "Still not over Adrian Brody throwing his gum at his girlfriend."
"Adrien Brody throwing his chewing gum and his wife catching it is true love," joked a fourth.
A fifth then echoed: "Adrien Brody's girlfriend catching his gum is kinda the most romantic thing I've ever seen."
While a sixth said: "Adrien Brody's wife just won the award for Best Supportive Significant Other and her statuette is a wad of her husband's chewed gum that he tossed at her on his way up the stairs to accept his Oscar. Next level."
And a seventh penned: "Adrien Brody could've used his long speech to apologize to his partner for throwing gum at her."

ADRIEN'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
In his speech, Adrien said: "Winning an award like this signifies a destination and something my character references in the film.
"But to me, it also, beyond the pinnacle of a career, it is a chance to begin again and the opportunity to hopefully be fortunate enough so that the next 20 years of my life, I can prove that I am worthy of such meaningful, important and relevant roles."
He thanked his girlfriend and her two kids from her relationship with Harvey, saying: "I know it's been a rollercoaster.
"Thank you for accepting me into your life."
Adrien and Georgina met in 2019 and made their first public appearance in 2021.
They went public with their romance and stepped out with one another in public for the first time shortly before Georgina's divorce from Harvey was finalized.
