Adrien Brody – the intelligent actor

Adrien Brody is listed by Time as one of the world's 100 most influential people globally. He’s won two Academy Awards, as well as a British Academy Film Award and a Golden Globe Award, in addition to nominations for Emmy Awards and a Laurence Olivier Award. He started his acting career early and often those who start careers early have some kind of genetic predisposition to the work. His parents were not actors, but he had a flair for it from a young age. Do his hands show that? 

Well, his hands show an innate talent for showmanship on both his left (the passive hand reveals our inherited qualities) and his right active hand, besides other impressive characteristics. These abilities catapulted him into becoming the youngest to win the Academy Award for Best Actor, at 29, for his performance in The Pianist. He still holds that record.

Hand of Adrien Brody
From Brody's X account

If you right click the pic above and open the image in a new tab, you will be able to see the lines of his palm to some extent. There are no other pics which shows his palm even this much. However, you can check out this other picture of Brody's hand.

Brody has big hands and long fingers with pronounced knots at the back of his hand, between the second and third phalanges. The palm is fairly broad although it is rectangular in shape. The lines on his palm are long and fine, and the headline is not only clear but also a fine shape, only slightly curving and reaching the other end of the palm. The heartline is also fine and long, forked at the end, and one of the forks appears to be drooping downwards, towards the headline. The Saturn (fate) line is clear from the start, even if wavy. The head and life lines are joined at the start for some time.

The thumb is long and low-set, its first phalange not as long as it should be on such a hand. His fingers are more or less straight, although the Apollo (ring) finger could be slightly bent. This finger also has a spatulate tip, and is a little longer than normal, and the Jupiter (index) finger could also be a little bent. There are small pads on the tips of fingers, known as sensitive pads, in palmistry. The first phalange of Mercury is longish and also quite conic.

The second phalanges of his fingers tend to be long on both his Apollo and Saturn (middle) fingers and slim, but are on the shorter side on the Jupiter and Mercury (pinky) fingers.

This hand exudes energy and activity, and it also belongs to someone who has a flair for originality. It reveals a person with a unique style of his own, and someone who is able to express it. His verbal skills are excellent. When energy and creativity is combined, it produces the best actors. The hand shows that this person wants fame and name above anything else. Money is not something he wants to collect. Not only is financial acumen not shown, there is little interest in being rich.

His mind is a brilliant one, with high intelligence and discipline shown. It’s also organised, and planning skills are present to a high degree. It is rare to see such high intelligence on actors' hands…mostly you see it on the hands of intellectuals. He is not just intelligent, he likes to implement his ideas and get things done. When this kind of mind is combined with physical energy, hard work, and talent, the result can only be great. It is not surprising that Adrien Brody approaches his work with intensity and dedication.

He is helpful and generous to a fault and also a very sensitive man. However, there could be issues with self-control, some bullheadedness or lack of diplomacy and finesse (not sure which!) and possibly some controlling behaviours. These are the minor personality flaws; they are not present in an extreme manner. Also present is some insecurity about the self, and introversion. The introversion is alleviated in the thirties and forties but starts to come back in the fifties with a vengeance almost. One is not sure why, but this actor is likely to retreat into himself more and more as he grows older.
