Adam Driver is receiving praise on social media for the way he sensitively handled a divisive interview question during a recent appearance on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” The host straight-up told Driver that he doesn’t look like a typical movie star and asked if his physical appearance has been a “hinder” in his career. It was Wallace It was widely criticized on social media platforms Like X for asking “rude” and “rude”.
Before addressing Driver’s appearance, Wallace noted that members of the press have compared Driver to the likes of Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson during his career and asked him how the actor felt about such allegations.
“These are the actors who made me want to be an actor, you know, so that’s a nice comparison,” Driver said, adding that he often chooses to ignore both compliments and negative attitudes about his career.
“The New Yorker also called me ‘horse-faced,’ so I don’t do that — I take it with a grain of salt,” Driver said. “I remember reading one reviewer [who wrote]: “His agent probably doesn’t know whether to put him in a movie or the Kentucky Derby.” So I take it, you know, if you believe the good thing, you have to believe the bad thing. So I try not to absorb anything.
That’s when Wallace said to the driver: “You don’t look like a typical movie star.” The CNN host and Max wanted to know if this was a “help or hindrance” to a driver’s career.
“I’ve constantly worked, which is nice, with people I’ve always wanted to work with, and dreamed I wanted to work with,” Driver answered. “In that sense, it didn’t happen — I look at how I look, I can’t change that. So I think it helped me.”
The actor then joked: “The only obstacle is that mirrors break wherever I go, and I have a large, deformed body that I cannot fit in doorways, most clothes, or most cars.” “Regardless, it’s good.”
Wallace continued to delve into this topic by looking at a photo of Robert Redford and asking Driver if he thought his life as an actor would be easier if he looked like the “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” icon.
“It will be different,” Driver said. “Who doesn’t want to look like Robert Redford? I’ve accepted that this is what I look like.
diverse I have reached out to representatives for Wallace Show for additional comment.
Driver is currently on the awards circuit promoting his leading role in Michael Mann’s “Ferrari.” The biographical drama Neon opens in theaters on December 25.
