Adrien Brody gave up his apartment, his car, and many of his belongings in order to play a Holocaust victim in The Pianist. To get inside the head of Polish-Jewish musician Wladyslaw Szpilman, who was confined to the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II, Adrien made the decision to go back to basics. He sold most of his worldly possessions, moved to Europe with only two bags, and began a severe dieting regime so as to experience a fraction of what Szpilman went through during the Holocaust.

Reg,
These dramatic "live like the character" stories make me laugh. Adrien Brody sold off his stuff and moved to Europe with two bags to pretend to understand what it was like to be a concentration camp survivor. The key ingredient for all of them is missing...the reality of the situation and knowing that it's just all just pretend and going home to palatial digs when it's all done or in Brody's case, just going to an ATM and checking in to the most expensive hotel in Paris when you get tired of roughing it . All of this is just drama on and off the set.
