Adrien Brody @ Chopard Store Opening

Adrien Brody and Spanish actress girlfriend Elsa Pataky walk down the red carpet at the Chopard flagship store opening on NYC’s Madison Avenue on Monday.

Check out this recent article in the LA Times about Adrien talking about bikes. The entire article is about motorcycles but here are some snippets:

I heard you had a motorcycle accident over in India? “No. I almost literally rear-ended a cow’s ass with my face. Out of all the places I’ve ridden or driven, India is by far the most insane. At one point we were driving, and there were two semi-trucks coming at us on our side of the highway, which has a divider, so I don’t even know how they got on our side. They were flying at us, and we had to pull over to the side of the road. It was literally a might-makes-right society as far as driving rules are concerned, so there were these tuk-tuks there. I’m passing a tuk-tuk, and as he moved, there was a cow walking in the highway. Just walking, and I literally skidded to a stop inches before a very comical demise.”

You crashed a bike in 1992? “Yeah. I had a bad accident.”

What was that about? “That was about people making a left in L.A. when the light turns yellow and they don’t look. I broadsided the car and ended up in the next crosswalk, and it was pretty severe. I didn’t ride for many years after that. I didn’t own a bike for a long time until a buddy of mine gave me one of the nicest presents I’ve ever gotten in my life for my 30th birthday and for winning an Academy Award. It was a Ducati Monster, which I couldn’t say no to, so I began riding again.”
