Adam Driver says 'Fuck You’ to audience member asking about ‘Cheesy’ crash scene in Ferrari

He's quite a cunt, isn't he?

What an ugly cunt.

He's as insufferable as any of the crop of today's actors. Yet, somehow he seems to have avoided the usual mockery.

Let's just say it now.

Drive is as insufferable as Lens. He's completely bought into his own PR.

Just for that, I wish the strike was still on

Bracingly snarky and direct. Team Driver.

Way to get people in the seats, Adam!

Tell me again, who hired him?

He wants to be the next Sean Penn.

Good for him. I fucking hate Q&As.

He’s so fucking ugly.

R8 - Q&As are part of his job.

Why are audiences and "fans" allowed to be as shitty as possible, but actors are not supposed to clap back? Good for Driver.

I would gladly suck him off

It's huge. Eat a gummy first.

How huge, R13?

Do tell.

Are you male or female?

the guy had an accent so maybe he meant something else other than cheesy; probably not but Driver could have handled all that a zillion other ways.

So? The question in the context of the event at which it was asked was meant to embarrass Driver. His choices were to disagree with the question and appear defensive on behalf of the production that hired him, or to agree and embarrass the production and himself by association.

"Fuck you, next question" seems a fair response to being cornered by a question in the form of a statement that only involves the actor inasmuch as he provides the 0latform for the reporter to day the film is cheesy.

*platform for the reporter to say

[quote] Driver could have handled all that a zillion other ways

Exactly.

And the studio should reprimand him for that.

If I were a studio executive, I would expect professionalism from all of the actors who work for and represent the studio.

All it would have taken, is a short and simple "Well I have to disagree with you there, sir" and then move on.

It's just about tact and being professional, regardless of whether the person opposite you is acting like an asshole.

He thinks he's indestructible and irreplaceable. So did the likes of James Franco and Jennifer Lawrence. Ask them how that worked out, Adam.

Uppity asshole. He should look in the mirror for a reality check.

R15 I was thinking the same thing.

My standard comment for these “celebrity etiquette” controversies: Who cares??

If you ask an ugly man a question, it's reasonable to expect an ugly answer.

It’s not hostile as much as flippant

In general questions like that aren’t asked at these q&a’s

Additionally, anyone who has ever dealt with EUROTRASH recognizes the superiority and condescension in the audience member’s voice

Who cares? Ultimately it gives him and this movie more attention than they would have gotten if he just answered the question or some other tactful thing. Also who really cares about etiquette this is all silly we're watching a bunch of people play pretend on the screen and acting like it's some high form of art rather than just kids playing with toys and telling stories how does anyone take any of this that seriously.

Ugly AND uppity. So attractive in a try-hard actor.

I'm not really sure who keeps trying to foist this asshole upon us, but a pox on them.

[quote]Driver attended the cinematography-oriented film festival to accept the Special EnergaCamerimage Award for an Actor, as well as introduce “Ferrari,” one of the entries in the Camerimage Main Competition.

[quote]“What do you think about the crash scenes? They looked pretty harsh, drastic and, I must say, cheesy for me,” the audience member asked Driver during the post-screening Q&A on Sunday. “What do you think?”

It's actually a valid question - since the film festival was geared toward cinematography and the question was directly relevant to the visuals of the movie.

Did Adam Driver light the movie or do the visual effects?

He's a representative of the movie, r28. if the crash scenes looked shitty, what was wrong with asking him that question??

What would be the purpose of asking such a question? It wasn’t a constructive criticism. It was simply a put-down. Is that really something you all endorse someone doing when addressing creative personnel at a festival.? “It looked cheesy” I think I would say “fuck you,” too.

The reporter was an ASSHOLE

Nah, the reporter was calling out a shitty movie. Bravo!

Well, setting aside that open-ended questions are generally provide a better platform for a discussion, there are any number of directions it could have gone. He could have addressed whether the crashes detracted from the story or character. How the visual effects of the racing impacted pacing and storytelling. Whether the "cheesy" crashes were intentional - and why they weren't cheesy.

He could even have addressed why the question regarding visuals at a festival focused on cinematograpy was not a valid question.

The point is FU is not a valid response just because he was butthurt by the question.

what r33 said

He was much more attractive when he played opposite Lens Dunham.

He's fug, get rid of him.

He's just acting like a real life Kylo Ren.

This could be Spectrum behavior, but given the near perfect eye contact it’s unlikely.

R29 Are you fucking serious? Do you know how movies work? Sometimes you people are so fucking stupid I’m not sure why I keep coming back to DL.

^^ and yet here i am r39

I remember he responded similarly to an NPR Fresh Air interview format.

sounds like HE'S a snowflake!

[quote]Nah, the reporter was calling out a shitty movie. Bravo!

Had the reporter asked the question more tactfully, trying to draw out the actor on some background of those scenes, he might have walked away with some substantive quotes to use in his story.

There's nothing wrong with the reporter calling out shitty scenes or a shitty film, but he should do it in his story, not a showboating question meant to embarrass an actor inclined to prickly responses.

I've liked Driver in some things, not in others. I don't find him handsome or attractive, but don't have the same depth of visceral reaction against his appearance that turns half of you into "take any crumb that falls from the table" school marms horrified by indelicacies, vulgar words, and unprofessionalism.

Ask a shitty question meant to embarrass, get a shitty answer. Next.

He makes Charles Bronson look hot.

the reporter doesn't have to ask a question more tactfully.

FUCK OFF. jesus, what the hell?????????

we're doing you a FAVOR to watch your dumbass movie.

Get a goddamn clue. your stupid movies are not a "GIFT."

Good for him. People put months of blood sweat and tears into these productions. Effects people work their asses off to make the pictures look great. Then some TWAT has to shit all over it, right to their faces, just to show how extra-discerning he is?

I think he should have run the guy through with his light saber.

r16 And you think "fuck you" doesn't sound defensive? Also, by answering the way he did, he's just guaranteed an infinite amount more attention to the questioner's comment than it would otherwise have attracted.

or maybe actually answer the question. if it looks cheesy and not that great, you could actually address that. or really, maybe, just say that you thought it was good.

actors seem so *special* and unable to answer questions these days. why is that?

Adam is so "ugly" Burberry chose him to rep their newest fragrance line, Hero. Because Burberry has no taste or marketing knowhow and wants to flush their money down the drain.

(exaggerated eyeroll)

At best, it seems poorly handled; Brad Pitt or even Tom Cruise would've let that one roll off, with a subtle flip response while putting their big smiles on high beams. Probably the bigger problem for Driver is that the press is now talking about what a sulky asshole he is than talking about his movie (which probaby sucks, which is why he's so prickly)

R45 = screams “I pay your salary!” when the meter maid gives him a ticket

Tell me you are a Gen Xer with selective nostalgia without telling me you are a Gen Xer with selective nostalgia.

Reporters aren’t critics.

Using a question and answer period to trash the movie for an audience is bad behavior.

That did, Driver handled it poorly.

I’d like to see Adam shove all 11.5” of that hard cock into the reporter’s mouth

R54 ass to mouth, preferably.

Adam Driver is not conventionally good looking, but he is attractive.

I'd like to see him play Stanley Kowalski (not that we need another Streetcar revival).

[quote]This could be Spectrum behavior, but given the near perfect eye contact it’s unlikely.

Autistic people don’t have jobs like this. Next.

Just out of curiosity, I checked out the reviews (the few out there) and they're mostly meh - not terrible, but not great. And DL unfave Shailene Woodley is completely miscast. So that most likely contributed to his defensiveness & sour mood.

[quote] Additionally, anyone who has ever dealt with EUROTRASH recognizes the superiority and condescension in the audience member’s voice

All the more reason for him to have responded "I think they're FABULOUS! Next question." He gave the ill-bred reaction that the audience member was trying to provoke.

[quote] Adam is so "ugly"

Therefore he is wrong

Adam is ugly-hot.

Females love him, for that reason.

As a gay male, I find him to be attractive in a tall, masculine, and possibly big-dicked sort of way.

He's especially ugly if you shave away that Farrah Fawcett haircut and realize how enormous his ears are.

I came here to say what r60 said. That dumb Pollock (or whatever) was trying to get a reaction, and he got it!

Remember, he's a former Marine turned actor, he's as dumb as a bag of rocks. Give him some crayons to eat and let the adults talk

R65 Why do you assume Marines are dumb as a bag of rocks? You seem pretty dumb, yourself.

Gene Hackman, Lee Marvin, George C. Scott, Alam Alda, Glenn Ford, Harvey Keitel were Marines. Not to mention Bea Arthur.

...and Steve McQueen
