Adam Driver SHOCKS with new DIVA BEHAVIOR

They knew he didn't want to listen to the clip which is why they told him when to take his headphones off so he wouldn't have to endure it. He could have even stepped out of the to studio if he didn't want to see the reactions. To ditch as if it was a personal attack is ridiculous.

His job as an actor is to promote his work and be interviewed, and it is just absolutely standard that every actor who gets interviewed has clips shown of his/her work.

It is pure prima donna behavior to have this ridiculous reaction. He needs to behave like a professional. He would not have dared do this were he not in demand right now as a lead actor--five years ago he was honored to be interviewed and have his work shown on NPR.

I completely agree with what are R36 wrote & its too bad because his previous interview with Terry Gross made him seem like an interesting person (some actors just seem boring as hell, like former Mr. Jennifer Aniston Justin Whatever). To be fair, it didn't say he left in a huff - throwing his headphones, storming out or any such thing, which is what Phoenix did - it could be that he's genuinely that neurotic. It kind of makes you appreciate someone like Brad Pitt - probably not the sharpest tool in the shed - who is honest about himself without giving too much away and ultimately makes himself more likable and human.

This is easily explained. Driver is used to seeing his face, such that it is, in the mirror, which is the reverse of what everyone else sees.

When he sees what WE see, it must be even more horrifying, hence the Diva behavior.

by Anonymousreply 42December 17, 2019 8:45 PM

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. We don't know what may have happened behind the scenes. These PR things are set up in advance by others on their respective teams and it may have been explained that they wouldn't play clips, etc. especially after they did it the first time. I can easily see them saying one thing to Driver's publicist only to then say, "just remove your headphones" as he sat down to do the interview. In any case, he was not expecting whatever happened and felt uncomfortable and decided to leave. Nobody likes to feel a "gotcha" moment especially if it was made clear to them that he doesn't like/want something to occur. It wouldn't surprise me if they just went ahead and did it anyway.

He doesn't want it this year. The Oscar. It's too much, too soon. He's been pulling the unfriendly act toward the media all throughout awards season, unless his team and publicist sit him down and read him the riot act (and he listens), the nom will still be there but he's nowhere near a win. A he should be a frontrunner, make no mistake. Him and Phoenix.

Between Driver's diva touchiness and Phoenix's uninspiring campaign, I wonder if this leaves the door open for a dark horse like Banderas, Bale or Pryce to sneak in the back door. Banderas has been campaigning steadily, the Academy likes that. Very charming.

R62 Dream on. This is Joaquins year. He won't even have to campaign for it and frankly it's expected that he will not campaign but his retiscence is affectionately joked about.

With Joaquin they appease the comic book crowd, silence the critics who call them out of touch all and pander to the younger masses all while not actually selling out since this isn't really a comic book movie, it has none the low brow qualities the academy hates about those movies and Joaquin is the most overdue male Oscar (after Leo was taken off) . Not even a MeToo scandal can keep Joaquin from that Oscar win. You'll see.

[quote]It's obvious this is to get his name out there for Oscar.

I'd imagine this would hurt his chances...

I know Adam hates to hear himself, but I don't understand why he needed to storm out, especially if, as the story says, they at least came to some sort of agreement where he could remove his headphones. Apparently they played the song during a break, and then he left... he couldn't just leave the room and temporarily isolate himself? Did he feel insulted? Or is his aversion to experiencing himself perform so deep that he had almost phobic/psychological response to the situation. Either way, it's not a good look, and it's unbecoming of an actor who many would have argued was the frontrunner this year.

Also... like... I don't know... to do it to Terry Gross seems like... well, if it were Howard Stern or something it'd be weird but whatever, weird stuff happens on Stern and it's all part of the environment. With Gross it's different... her interviews are great and well respected, and it's definitely the type of demographic they'll want to be pushing the film to.

He should really fucking deal with this... I don't think he can have his cake and eat it too at the level his career's at now. He clearly wants this, and these types of interviews come with the territory. Handle your shit.

And this is shocking... why? He went from the dodging deployment in the military immediately to being Lena Dunham's muse. Already he's proved himself to be a combination of the two worst types of people in the world. Is it so surprising he's an asshole?

He's not talented enough or well known enough or attractive enough to act this way. He got cast in Marriage Story for the same reason Johansson did: both were actors from wildly successful blockbuster franchises who were hired to bring in a bigger audience. His career's shit, and he's probably done beyond guest roles and supporting roles in VOD flicks once his Star Wars trilogy ends. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll get a payback when they make another trilogy in ten or so years and he plays an older version of Kylo Ren "shockingly back from the dead".

Wow, The Oscars this year are possibly the most pathetic yet. The Academy's been a joke for over a decade but this year's a new low. The two biggest tickets for Best Picture so far are a Batman movie and yet another movie about two straight white people getting a divorce starring two of Disney's hottest livestock and produced by Netflix. This is what's being presented as the peak of American cinema. People barely even watch anymore, and those that do watch it ironically to laugh at the mess of a host they've hired (let me guess, it's going to be another Late Night host this year). I'm done. It's a mess. The Oscars is now the Lindsay Lohan of award shows.

Truth R87. I'm not that old but I'm done watching the Oscars. I love Joaquim and if he wins, that's too bad and well deserved. He's a freaky actor, he's never quite real in any performance but he gives mesmerizing performances. Takes it all so seriously for a guy who never manages to be the character completely. I like Renee too and hope that she wins. She's a great versatile actress who does showy bits AND becomes completely immersed in character. But she can't look or sound like anyone but herself. She's kind of Shirley MacLaine.

The Oscars are the last stop on a long journey of award shows that I guess were always meaningless, but now feel like they have no meaning. There's something lacking. I'm getting older too. But it's not that simple. I think Driver is terrific in Story of Divorce, I watched it last night. He might win. But what happened to some charm or humor or real emotion along the way. Even Sean Penn charm. To not give a fuck is a real stance. But he cared about winning. The Oscars have lost something essential to their prestige. The Golden Globes feel more important. And the winners are in their fourth best dress with the least rehearsed speech there. And TV is better than film now. A Marriage Story is high class stuff, but way too dull to sit through in a movie theater.

I haven't seen Antonio Banderas since I was 15, alone in my bedroom. Maybe he deserves the Oscar? Who was he pretending to be? Olivia Colman was terrible in Queen Anne's legs last year and is even worse in The Crown. But the Broadchurch lovers gave HER an Oscar. Crazy. What a weird thing that Academy is. Much better to blow the Hollywood Foreign Press.

Emma Stone deserved her Oscar. Yes she did. So we can argue. But I am done watching.

Driver is successful because he reads Jewish (even though he’s not) without being too Jewish. So a lot of filmmakers, who are white Jewish men, cast him as their surrogate onscreen. Hollywood Jews are self-loathing in that way. Look at Adrien Brody, who won an Oscar and has pretty much disappeared. Too Jewish looking for Hollywood.

Similarly, goyim like Spike Lee cast Adam Driver to play Jews when they went someone who can play Jewish without being too Jewish.

I mean, I like Terry Gross, but to explicitly ignore a request to not play clips (which they easily could have inserted in post) is just asshole behavior and it’s not journalism. And to play him SINGING in one of his most unguarded moments on film, which he’s obviously uncomfortable doing, is really doubling down on asshole. This is Terry’s fail here. He’s a terrific actor and is going to beat overhyped Joaquin for the Oscar.

No I tuned out halfway. I liked this movie when it was called Annie Hall.

The problem with monoculture in Hollywood is that we're forever going to be fed bitter break up roman a clefs about Jewish directors and shiksa actresses.

He didn't dodge deployment. He was seriously injured and honorably discharged. I actually think he carries a huge chip on his shoulder in regards to not serving, which is why he's so strange and intense in his work.

R132 why was she crying??

by Anonymousreply 135December 18, 2019 3:59 PM

Theron was discussing how her mother shot and killed her father in elf defense. Although Gross asked her if it was okay to discuss. The interview was sordid.

by Anonymousreply 136December 18, 2019 4:09 PM

Theron agreed to speak about it and Gross offers every guest the opportunity to edit anything out of the tape that they, before airing, decide they regret having shared.

Theron explained that she’s been in therapy about it all and I think her decision to go there is a result of her attempting to stop repressing her trauma. Frankly, what was shared raised more questions than it answered, The timing of his shooting as it coincided with her going to Italy for the modeling gig and her mother making her leave the scene of the crime both made me even more convinced that she was the one who really pulled the trigger. I, also, think Tarantino is pretty obviously the director who rubbed her knee.

by Anonymousreply 137December 18, 2019 4:31 PM

I just wanted to add that her complete lack of anger towards her mother for, supposedly, murdering her father is more a smoking gun that she is the one who really killed him than her suddenly leaving the country immediately afterward and her mother sending her to the neighbors for an hour so she could stage the murder scene.

by Anonymousreply 138December 18, 2019 4:36 PM

Charlize Theron has talked about that story many times in the past. In print interviews and even on Oprah. She praises her mother. And yes, it does sound suspicious.

There may have been a lapse in understanding on how to deal with the clips. Driver was in NPR's New York studio while Gross is in Philly. The NY engineer probably didn't cue him to take off the headphones. Either way he still overreacted.

I agree with the posters who say this was to keep his name in the mix. There's nothing negative about this at all - it's Driver's I'm Still Here moment.

As for trigggering, erm, Marriage Story was extremely triggering. Put me in a foul mood all day.

Lastly, it's Joaquin's year. Over $1B in tickets sold. All you have to do is say "Joker" and viewers will turn up (just like they did for the abysmal movie). Driver is already an also-ran and I don't think any voters will "enjoy" watching Marriage Story. It will fade from the scene pretty quickly. Most of Hollywood has been divorced, at least once. No one needs to relive that unpleasantness.

How is he different from Justin Long and, if there isn't much difference, can I just continue to treat them as the same person, as I have until now?

I'm not familiar with this actor's work (I don't think I've seen anything he's done) but he has a very intense, interesting look. I'd really like to see him in "Marriage Story." As for this incident, I think it is probably blown all out of proportion, as stories like this usually are. I really don't think it's a big deal, and especially not what could be called "DIVA BEHAVIOR." I've heard of much worse.

When I first saw him on film, I thought he was the ugliest thing ever...I think it was star wars, I hated it.

Then I saw him in more films, I still thought he was super ugly and every scene he was in, I was just thinking "what a fucking ugly dude, what is he doing in movies?" His acting is average.

Now he sings in that marriage movie, my ears were bleeding...

He does have a history of paranoid behavior. Dictating to restaurant staff that they seat him in private areas so fans don’t bother him. What fans? He also demands that staff escort him to his seat at the theatre. Diva!

In Jordan, shooting TROS, he had a huge tantrum when one of his fuck buddies refused to fly out because he had been treating her like shit. It wasn’t Theron but another sweetie who was almost sent around the bend when he ghosted her.

Great actor but a nightmare to handle. Theron is in for a wild ride.

As I mentioned on the other thread, he did some really superior guest star turns a few years ago on various TV prime time dramas. Interesting but not traditionally handsome face.
