Adrian Brody denied Jack Nicholson's request to boycott the Oscars in 2003 because he didn't want to let his parents down.
The 'King Kong' star was invited to the Academy Awards after being nominated in the Best Actor category for his role in war drama 'The Pianist' and he'd arranged for his mother and father to come to the ceremony with him - but shortly before the Oscars, Adrian was called to Nicholson's Los Angeles mansion for a secret meeting with Hollywood stars including Daniel Day-Lewis and Sir Michael Caine to discuss plans to boycott the event over the American invasion of Iraq.
