Actor Adrien Brody said a makeup artist on the film set of The Brutalist tried to remove his nose after mistaking it for a prosthetic.

“This woman was busily working away with a solvent on my nose,” the Jewish actor, 51, said during an appearance on The Tonight Show with host Jimmy Fallon on Monday. “I said: ‘Are you trying to remove that?’ and she said: ‘Yes.' And I said: ‘That doesn’t come off.”

Brody explained how a new team of makeup artists were working on the facial prosthetics required to age his character 30 years when the woman attempted to “remove” his nose – which was certainly not a prosthetic addition. He told Fallon that the artist apologised and said, “This is going in my diary.”

“Now it’s going in my talk show repertoire,” Brody quipped.
