This man is the most genuine person I've ever seen in the film industry. He always tries to be honest even though you see how he protects his private life. He always tries to give meaningful answers even to the dumbest questions. And he's such a versatile actor despite his very unique and remarkable look. Adam Driver with beard or without beard. Adam Driver with short hair, longer hair, or long hair. These were the options, yet, you see Adam Sackler, Jude, Paterson, Clyde Logan, Garupe, Jamie, Flip Zimmerman, Toby, Charlie, Pale and even in one movie Kylo Ren and Ben Solo being so significantly different characters, you don't see Adam Driver as an actor. He disappears in front of your eyes and with some magic a new person is born. You only see the character. This man is a wonder.
So true, what you said..few actors can acomplish that of every time you watch them, you watch the character not the actor or the particular way of acting, because everytime is different and unique even with comedy skits or monologues. I can only think of 3 actors who do that, and one of them is Adam Driver for sure.
I love how he's so natural and often awkward in his interviews as if he finds it so difficult to talk about himself. He's so unassuming and yet he understands how to give his characters so many dimensions. He honors the process of acting and baring himself to the audience. Hope he has the opportunity to do lots of different and equally wonderful roles in the future. He's a breath of fresh air.
I think I've almost watched TOO many AD interviews because the interviewer will ask a question and I'll recognize the question from a previous interview and already know how AD will answer lmao
“were you sad to say goodbye to kylo ren?” adam: i wasn’t crying or anything but i might as well have just been sobbing 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I’m a combat veteran. His work has saved my life. I don’t want to go into it any further because I suffer from ptsd but I’m speaking of a couple of things he has done for me in particular. One playing a broken young soul who felt he was too far gone to go home, and the other to start a charity that teaches me that I have a voice. I’m more than just a dumb guy with a weapon who gets talked down to as if I have nothing important to say. I guess that’s all I have to say right now. Thank you Adam Driver.
Fuck, he’s so gorgeous. He look especially handsome tonight. It’s rare for someone as beautiful as him to be just as beautiful on the inside as he is on the out. Such an intelligent, kind, humble, charismatic man. And unbelievably talented.
@Giorgia Lain Indeed welcome to the club mrs Lain! Haven't you seen yet The Rise of Skywalker? His performance, the way he moves,the expressions of his face that change in a split of second, are true art. The Reylo effect could never happen without Adam's " raw,untamed power"(that's Snoke's words from TLJ) , without his massive, dominating appearance and performance in the whole SW Sequel Trilogy.Since The Force Awakens all the Reylo community we are committed to his personality and his talent.
I'm dying to see it but don't have Netflix and it's not shown where I am in the UK ! I hope when I do, it lives up to the hype. Can't see me liking it more than beat Kramer vrs Kramer which is one of favourite films.
Me: *saves all of the Adam Driver interviews in a private playlist* I can watch him all day. Such an intelligent, articulate, passionate, grounded man. If I'll be lucky enough to meet him personally one day, I'd tell him he has inspired me so much by reminding me to stay hungry in my craft. Despite the massive fame he has achieved, his pursuit for excellence and dedication has never waned. Much respect!
'Acting is being in service to the story'. Truer words were never spoken. He has no ego or arrogance about what he does. He is there to serve the story. Military service teaches you that. This guy is going to herald in a new generation of actors. They're going to get back to basics and kick all this 'celebrity worshipping' to the curb. God bless him. He brings integrity back to the craft. 💖💖
Hearing people sing Adam's praises is music to my ears. Adam's literally the best of his generation, he's so humble and so sincere and honest in his craft. One day he's gonna give his greatest perfornance and we're not even going to be prepared for it. Also what a beautiful speech he gave.🙏
@@necromaya Exactly the vibe I get from him as well. He already has the range, but its his emotional power that I think is gonna take him the farthest. DDL is one of the only actors to get me to cry while watching a movie, and now Adam is the second.
Dude is fascinating. I like how he prefers long Q&As rather than the standard three-minute junket stuff. He seems to enjoy talking at length about his craft and because of that we are given a lot more insight into the work of an actor and the time and energy that goes into the making of a film. Most actors don't seem to appreciate the process itself, whereas he seems very passionate about it. He gives a lot of thought to his answers rather than just blurting out the first thing that comes to mind. He wants to be understood on a deeper level than the average actor who instead runs their mouth on twitter or says provocative things for fear that it's the only way to remain relevant. Adam knows that he will be remembered and that his acting will be regarded as some of the best of all time. He's in it for the long haul.
True! It's such a pleasure to watch him talk about his craft -- in fact, I've created a playlist full of his interviews lol. He's so passionate and it rubs off on anyone. I've never been more inspired and reminded of the hunger I had for what I love doing the most.
@@erikajazz1 Yes! He has to be with Rey in flesh and blood! Not as a Force Ghost! He has earned it because as a true Solo that he is, he came back and saved from the dead his beloved one, something that Anakin only dreamed of! Young Han Solo always planned to save Q'ira and Han Solo in ANH came back mostly for Leia!
The thing is, Adam's an incredibly talented actor, that's undisputable, BUT what we really love him for is his personality. There are a lot of talented actors out there, but none of them come even close to how easily Adam displays his true character, his honesty, his eloquence and insightfulness. This once again proves how starved our generation is for a raw, powerful presence; we seek that and when we find it in someone, we idolize them. I'm so sick and tired of fake celebrities, PC celebrities, big egos, and even bigger words coming out of their mounths, lacking any depth or meaning whatsoever. Adam is an exception and I hope he sets the precedent for the new, upcoming actors, to try and acquire at least a third of the qualities that this man posseses. It's not just the film industry; we need more peope like Adam Driver in this world!! I'm glad he's in the public eye, because a lot of us can learn from just hearing him speak his mind.
yes!!! he has inspired me SO much and im sure so many other people too! I think anybody with struggles in their life can relate to a man like adam, and to see him in such the public eye and these huge movies while incredibly grounded, its just the best. Im really inspired by him, and by his wife too
Adam is an incredible and amazing person. He is sexy and funny and the fact that he doesn't think he is makes him even more alluring. One thing I noticed about all of him is that he is consistent with his answers. He is so completely underrated. I am so proud and thankful to be alive in a generation where Adam driver is alive. He is just so incredible. I can never get enough.
Adam is a actor that’s when I’m watching movies he’s in, I don’t really think about the actor when I’m watching Star Wars for example I see either Kylo Ren or Ben Solo. He deserves every single reward he gets
He is one of the best, most humble actors in the industry right now. I’m so ready to see everything good that will be coming his way because he deserves it
It is so wonderful to see good people being recognized for their talents. He is truly humble and hardworking & is ready to explain, expound & invite all of us to be part of his work. Martin Scorcese said it well "Adam Driver .... if not the best actor of his generation". He gives "his all" in every part he plays & those around him lift themselves to the level he creates and we, the movie or theatre goers, become part of his talents and we are lifted as well. Congratulations, so very well deserved.
Awww. Adam we are going to miss Ben Solo so much, just like you. How could they killed the most popular character of the sequel trilogy? Sigh.. If only there would be a way to bring him back and make more movies... *sobbing*
Put the blame on Disney and JJ. I still can't understand the reason why they decided to end the Skywalker Saga with TROS and like this .An Episode X is necessary more than ever.
Ana Carreno this gives me hope that maybe he would play Ben again. I heard him say in another interview that he wasn’t going to do anymore But maybe he meant at that point there weren’t anymore talks of more. He was the only thing worth watching the new trilogy for. I’ve been obsessing about him ever since his “death”.
Ms Purefunk I refuse to believe he’s truly gone! Read about ‘the world between worlds’. The Star Wars TROS official guidebook happens to have the ancient texts POINTED to that article. And as always in Star Wars...’no body, no Force Ghost, no problem ‘
That Bill Murray story was soo funny... that a side, what a great actor this guy is and definilly one of the best years a performer can have. He is now one of the actos that i'll look for to his work cause i trust his taste
"YOU DO NOT RELY ON MAKE-UP, WARDROBE OR DRAMATIC WEIGHT LOSS," is going to be my answer to anyone who says Pheonix's performance is superior. No shade but Adam was better
This is what's wrong with awards. You can't compare different wonderful performances. Even if they all played the same role, they would bring something different to them, and they're not playing the same role. It doesn't really come down to which piece of art is better, it's just personal preference and/or awards politics.
I love Joaquin Phoenix, but I feel like the girl in the Emperors new clothes, because I honestly feel Joker was Joaquin's worst performance. I felt absolutely nothing from it, it was absolutely hollow.
@@shadowseer07 I completely agree, I loved him in HER, I know what he is capable of, so to see him get recognized for a movie that deserves nothing is painful
@@billiey36 I agree with everything you are saying but not in regards to a film like joker. Again I have nothing against Phoenix, I am a fan actually but that movie does not belong with all the other real pieces of art.. for every other performance and movie I agree its a personal choice.
I think he studied humanity and the need of human in processing grief very well. He can transform it to acting and performing, furthermore articulate it in interview... Brilliant !! That's why he is so attractive..
THANK you for putting this up! Adam in these longer interviews shows just how much he understands and invests in his characters and we are lucky to have him in the industry ♡ This is a beautifully articulated speech from him, very heartfelt as always. Also - I know Adam isn't reading this - but please film gods let Ben Solo come back to us so Adam gets a chance to process this character and so do we.
Let's pray that Adam willingly comes back as Ben Solo when he is asked to.The SW franchise has been so lucky to have him as a lead character. I hope Disney and Lucasfilm understand that.
I just noticed when she asked him if he was sad to say goodbye to Kylo Ren, that he didn't straight away say yes, he was thinking about it like he was really thinking his answer. I wonder.. Did we really see the last of Kylo/Ben Solo? Things that may you go hmmm. Honestly I would love to see Ben Solo back!
The guy who gave him the award said something that it sounds a hint to Joker. He argued (not directly) why JPhoenix's performance is not the best despite the costume, the makeup, the weight he lost, etc. That is so true.
I live in Germany and the only reason that i would like to see the "Oscar" this year is, that Adam Driver is nominate for Marriage Story. 😊😊😊😁😁🤞🤞Hope he win this. He deserve it!🤞🤞🤞
Love Adam. He' so talented and professional, watching any of his performances is a gift. And he's also such a nice person, so down to earth and humble, and that sense of humor! 😄 A true artist that loves his work so much... can't wait to see his next projects ❤️🎬❤️
He has an intense and genuine nature about him that really draws you in and makes you want to listen/watch. His personality shines through in every role he assumes but at the same time he makes the character unique. He has such a raw sexiness about him, yet with a boyish charm at times that catches you off guard. I would love to hang out and have a conversation with him (me and more than I can count others would too eh? lol!). Between desire and humor I would be buzzing from a natural high :)
It's good to see this man become recognized....albeit slowly....as such an exceptional actor, I remember him from 'Midnight Special' [love the movie, it's so different], watched him in 'Frances Ha' and enjoyed him as Kylo Ren in 'Star Wars'. You don't see too many diverse actors like Adam Driver, I can count on one hand the few I know. But I hope one day I get to see him win an Oscar on a project that the Academy can't help BUT acknowledge.
Stupendously handsome, talented, and intelligent guy. I agree with what the award presenter dude said about his being just as definitive a leading man for the 21st century as Pacino, and Nicholson were in the 70s. He is adorable, and was looking very dapper this night. Hopefully, if there is any justice in Hollywood, he will get the Oscar this year, and we will all continue to have it bad for him for many years to come.
What a person he is, really. He's struggling with things (like needing time to process, hello fellow introvert?) and yet he's searching his ways to be of service. And sometimes he gets comfortable enough to let out a lot of what's going on in that head (and heart), even though verbalising it can be really really hard. He wants to be there, he understands what this can be to people and yet he's also on that typical short social battery (at least from the bit I can tell). It's so very relatable. I catch myself thanking fate for securing him, even if I wished it wasn't quite that brutal. But then again, what is fate to do in the face of a very dedicated person who hadn't lernt to trace the currents yet and to let go in time. A lot to ask of someone prone to dedication, this young, and finally having settled into a place of connection (aka comradery). There was little else that could have lead to getting honorably discarged while remaining .... whole (for the lack of a better word). He had been held back to get trained and build a bridge at a later point in life. May fate mean well with him and his chosen family. And may he (they) be open enough to go with the currents of life on their own accord(s) in future, too.
He always has this weird way of answering questions but it's hilarious...that makes him a very important actor today. I hope he'll re-consider to come back to Star Wars. Hayden Christensen is....
Me encanta verlo tan abierto, se nota que se siente a gusto, y obviamente feliz! Felicidades a Adam por su merecido reconocimiento! Y gracias por compartir esto!
@@milenaf31 Probablemente él valora más la cercanía con la gente que admira su trabajo en vez de estar presente en grandes premiaciones y ese tipo de cosas.
I watched Girls for the first time during the pandemic. Adam Driver blew me away. He is just a brilliant actor. I am still missing Philip Seymour Hoffman, because I lose sight that I'm watching an actor with him. Adam is the same thing for me. Plus in interviews, he just seems beyond a natural sweet man. Super intelligent and modest. Watched Paterson after the Girls series, he's just as amazing in that. Ironically I had never seen it and I'm born and raised in that town. Love Adam Driver
Incredible and very professional Actor! I adore him! When I heard he was a Marine, I was awestruck. I’m a Army Veteran and I felt closer to him immediately.🤠🤩♥️🔥🇺🇸
It's so great to hear how you can create a scene and Adam is really passionate about the whole craft of acting/making a movie. I felt I was a part of a lecture and damn, I don't know many which were that interesting :) Thank you!
Tras verlo ayer en el primer programa de este año de SNL, comprendí la razón por la cual no estaba tan triste por dejar atrás a Kylo Ren, volvió a ser él! y encima, Kylo personificó al interno Randy, dejando atrás a Matt el técnico! Me encantó verlo de nuevo, y en su faceta cómica, que le queda maravillosamente bien!
I so wanted to go to the SBIFF but I had to leave for college the day of :( I'm so sad I missed it. For once something interesting happens in my town and of course i miss it :/
Would love to see 'Burn This'! Was it ever recorded for theatres/TV? In the UK 'National Theatre live' record certain plays in London then play them in cinemas around the country for people who cant always afford or are unable to get to London. xx
Apparently, he was trying to speak sense into Kathleen Kennedy, when she decided to kill off Ben Solo. He and JJ wanted Ben Solo to live on for future projects. But she threw everything out the window, because she wanted Rey to be the next Skywalker. Doesn't make sense to me, as the real true last Skywalker was Ben. So even speaking about The Rise Of Skywalker makes me cringe when looking at her 'logic' *LOL*.
@@billiey36 According to the master himself :-P he always moves on from every character when done filming. I only recall him talking fondly of Kylo Ren and Ben Solo. But it makes sense, that 6 years having had the same role present in your mind makes you especially want to move on. I think he'd come back as Ben Solo with a good script and without KK. He was invited to the Skywalker Ranch in December last year for talks.
@@billiey36 Because he was not a producer with final say but a contract actor. He always made it a point, that he's all about the story: he will step in when he feels, the story and his character drift apart - which he is said to have done in case of Ben Solo/Kylo Ren. He's noted as not having been too happy about the ending of his character, because to him Ben's death didn't make sense in the context of the whole trilogy. So, if this is what went down, he loved this character enough to step in for the sake of the whole movie story. But according to him that's where in general it ends for him. It's just how he functions, I feel. For Adam letting go doesn't mean, he's out for future projects. It's just that he moves on. Until the next project comes that appeals to him. And if it's a Ben Solo project he is asked to reprise, the writing is on par, he's in again.
These interviews ask the same questions and I’ve seen Adam give the exact same answers. “What was your start in action” “My grandfather recorded tapes” “How was the transition from military to acting?” “I thought civilian problems would be easier but their not”
I suppose that the reason could be that they haven't scenes together. You know - when Kylo Ren or Ben Solo met vice-admiral Amelyn Holdo? They don't have any meetings from TFA to TROS. How long Ben Solo or Kylo Ren was on screen, he didn't have many scenes with Resistance members. You know, without his father (Han Solo), Poe Dameron, Rey or Finn. So, I think that Adam and Laura don't meet often each other. And don't blame them - they were doing what they must to, so they were working with their scene partners.
You know - it is something like "you have been studying in school, you finished her and many, many years later you meet someone who also was studying in your school, but you never remembered yourselves because you have different friends". I think it is something like that.
@@agnieszkaklimek6182 Since they didn't have any scenes together, they wouldn't have been on the set at the same time so they wouldn't have met at work.
Tinfoil hat time: 40:00 The interviewer asks Adam a rather straightforward, yes or no question. He not only responds hesitantly and nervously, but also goes on a minute-length explanation that wasn't necessarily asked for. In the past, Adam answers yes or no questions pretty concisely, often with a "yes" or "no", and waits for the interviewer to continue. That wasn't the case this time. 40:08 - His answer would've sufficed there, and the Interviewer could have asked more follow up questions, continuing the conversation. Instead, he feels the need to go into a lengthy explanation, which was nice to hear, but otherwise unwarranted. Now. I'm no psychologist, but I know when investigators pause in their questioning after a guilty suspect gives an answer, it puts pressure on the suspect to add to their answers in fear they haven't done a good enough job explaining themselves. The interviewer here paused, because she was laughing, but Adam seemed to take that as reason to go into how he was feeling the day of, talk about his reactions on the plane, and then even go as far to say it feels like they'll be shooting another one, "but they're not." I'm not saying he's a liar, but the actions here suggest some duplicity. Furthermore, he was fidgety and giggly when he wasn't behaving that way beforehand. Who knows. I don't wanna get anyone's hopes up. Just putting it out there, that, perhaps, his certainty of saying goodbye to Ben Solo, is not what it seems.
Great assessment! I though the exact same thing. Adam is such a genuine guy, its' really hard for him to lie, but that fidgety thing he did right after she asked about saying goodbye to his Star Wars character was very telling. You are right it is not a guarantee, but something is definitely brewing...
@@tuki6364 People who leak Star Wars stuff have said that there have been rumors ever since TROS came out that Ben Solo would either get a series or a movie, and they had heard Adam's name in there too. So that could mean Adam is not done with the character! :) The leaker said in august that Adam is still under contract. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, since a lot of SW actors remain under contract, but it's a good thing to know. Anyway, I believe Adam will come back for a post-TROS story, or if they're not bringing Ben back from the dead, they're developing a pre-TFA story for him (I heart this is the most likely option right now)
@@xxmarjaxx Fingers crossed! So many fans would love that! Even in The Mandalorian they are hinting at something with Ben Solo lately. They mentioned Alderaan and Chandrila, the planet where Ben Solo was born... So yeah, I will keep the hope!
you could tell he was getting a little tired of this. “I woke up. A bit the shit out of something. I feel really good.” - I like that he’s just a guy - who acts.
