'The Pianist' star Adrien Brody was stopped at customs under suspicion of 'smuggling' breath mints when entering New Zealand.

Funny enough but add to that the fact he got released after he confessed the suspicious mints were a gift for New Zealand native director Peter Jackson.

The actor recalls: "As a marketing gimmick for the thriller I did, THE JACKET, they made up caffeinated breath mints in prescription pill bottles. I gave Peter some and he loved them.
I had to go home to do press for The Jacket. So when I came back to New Zealand, I brought a huge bag of those mints, like a thousand pills. I got pulled aside in customs.
The woman looked like she was having a fit, and I knew what they were questioning me about. She called the supervisor over and they asked me what it was and I said, 'It's breath mints for Peter Jackson,' and they just let me straight through".

"It could have been a thousand hits of Ecstasy, but since it was for Peter Jackson, they let me right in", Adrien concluded.
