is currently in demand by the media in connection with the premiere of the film “Ferrari” by Michael Mann, in which the star played the role of the titular Italian driver and entrepreneur. In the production, the actor starred alongside Penelope Cruz, Patrick Dempsey and Shailene Woodley.
Podcast listeners outraged by questions to Adam Driver. Did the presenter exaggerate?
The actor recently appeared on the podcast “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?”, where the host did not avoid difficult, and for many even inappropriate, questions to the star. The host bluntly told Driver that he didn’t look like a “typical movie star.” Then he asked if his specific appearance was an “obstacle” in making a career.
After the episode was published, social media went viral. Listeners of the program accused Wallace of asking “disgusting”, “inappropriate” and “rude” questions. Earlier, the host compared Driver to Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson, who also do not fit into the current canon of beauty, but this has become their advantage.
“It was watching those people you mentioned on screen that made me want to be an actor, so that’s a very good comparison,” Driver replied calmly. He also added that he has a great distance from both compliments and negative opinions about his career.
Adam Driver calmly answered questions about his appearance. Did the presenter exaggerate?
“The New Yorker once wrote that I have a ‘horse face’. I take such comments with a pinch of salt. I remember reading that review and someone suggesting that the way I looked made my agent wonder whether he should look for me roles in films, or the track at the Kentucky Derby (editor’s note: American horse racing). If you believe the good reviews, you also believe the bad ones. That’s why I try not to delve into opinions about myself at all,” said the actor.
When asked whether his “specific appearance” differing from “typical movie stars” hindered him in making a career or maybe it was helpful, Driver replied calmly. “I have already worked with people with whom I always wanted to work, I dreamed about it. Therefore, in this sense, my appearance did not hinder me. I look the way I look and I will not change it. So I think it helped me sooner,” Driver explained.
“The obstacle to playing is that I break mirrors everywhere I go, I have a large, undersized body that doesn’t fit through doors, and most of my clothes are too small for me, as are cars. Other than that, it’s fine,” he joked . But Wallace didn’t give up. The host showed Driver a photo of Robert Redford and asked if the star had ever wondered if his life would be easier if he looked like the Sundance Kid in the movie.
“It would just be different,” said a composed Driver. “Who wouldn’t want to look like Robert Redford? However, I accept what I see in the mirror,” he said. Variety asked Chris Wallace for a comment on his controversial idea of conducting a conversation with the actor. The podcast host did not respond.
Adam Driver was a bit less patient with the guests of Camerimage in Toruń. One of the questions from the audience upset the actor. During the meeting with the star, a question was asked about the film “Ferrari”. “What do you think about the accident scene? It looked quite drastic, sad, and to be honest, bad in my opinion,” one viewer summed up the scene. “Fuck off, I don’t know what else to say,” the actor replied.
