About this deal

After a couple of years of being on the receiving end of Marlon’s practical jokes,” Depp allegedly gifted him a fart unit which led to the veteran actor claiming: “I’ve found God! Bertolucci also shot a scene which showed Brando's genitals, but in 1973 explained, "I had so identified myself with Brando that I cut it out of shame for myself. Kelly had a far more conservative public image but her private escapades were equally well-known in Tinseltown. In 1960, Brando married Movita Castaneda, a Mexican-American actress; the marriage was annulled in 1968, after it was discovered her previous marriage was still active. As with previous films, Brando refused to memorize his lines for many scenes; instead, he wrote his lines on cue cards and posted them around the set for easy reference, leaving Bertolucci with the problem of keeping them out of the picture frame.

Brando has also been immortalized in music; most notably, he was mentioned in the lyrics of " It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City" by Bruce Springsteen, in which one of the opening lines read "I could walk like Brando right in to the sun", and in Neil Young's " Pocahontas" as a tribute to his lifetime support of Native Americans and in which he is depicted sitting by a fire with Neil and Pocahontas. Following On the Waterfront, Brando remained a top box office draw, but critics increasingly felt his performances were half-hearted, lacking the intensity and commitment found in his earlier work, especially in his work with Kazan. Critics protested when he started accepting roles in films many perceived as being beneath his talent, or criticized him for failing to live up to the better roles.Brando, who was excited to “eliminate the pain using mind control during the operation”, however, was extremely disgruntled to find that his circumcision would be performed only after administering an anaesthetic. Coppola had developed a list of actors for all the roles, and his list of potential Dons included the Oscar-winning Italian-American Ernest Borgnine, [52] the Italian-American Frank de Kova (best known for playing Chief Wild Eagle on the TV sitcom F-Troop), John Marley (a Best Supporting Oscar-nominee for Paramount's 1970 hit film Love Story who was cast as the film producer Jack Woltz in the picture), the Italian-American Richard Conte (who was cast as Don Corleone's deadly rival Don Emilio Barzini), and Italian film producer Carlo Ponti.

When she jumped into the pool, she was shocked pretty hard and was sent into the air away from the water as a result. One day, Brando was so agitated with Oz that he went on to cuss at him with a vivid insult: “I bet you wish I was a puppet so you could stick your hand up my ass and make me do what you want. Widely known for her role as Magenta in the cult-favourite counter-culture classic Rocky Horror Picture Show, Patricia Quinn encountered Brando’s bizarre behaviour on a particular occasion. However, Paramount studio executives were opposed to casting Brando, due to his reputation for difficulty and his long string of box office flops.

Because Teriipaia was a native French speaker, Brando became fluent in the language and gave numerous interviews in French.

Brando also filmed scenes for the movie's sequel, Superman II, but after producers refused to pay him the same percentage he received for the first movie, he denied them permission to use the footage.In the documentary, Coppola talks about how astonished he was when an overweight Brando turned up for his scenes and, feeling desperate, decided to portray Kurtz, who appears emaciated in the original story, as a man who had indulged every aspect of himself.
