He plays his characters mindful of how trapped we are in our bodies, sharing and trapped in space with one another.
actors: i know best in everything and spout it all over internet also actors when asked an original question: "i have to come back to you"
Boooo. need to have US access 😞
Damn, I haven't seen Adam laugh this much in any interview. Hats off to Ali.
He gets real uncomfortable talking about himself he said that in a different interview he is very much an introvert but people think him being an actor he is always outgoing, still, he is a very talented and humble guy from what I can gather.
i just came to comment this hahaha
Right?! He seemed to like the interviewer.
It's been a general consensus that Ali Plumb's interviews are always amazing, making the guests keep engaged, and so forth so forth.
For sure. You can tell when actors come back they are twice as comfortable and really start letting loose. I think Emily Blunt knows him really well because she just forgets she's even being interviewed lol.
@@lolitabubbles26 yep, its like two friends caught up again after covid quarantine is done haha
He knows boundaries and keeps it professional with dash of humour that keeps the celebs at ease. Fav interviewer.❤
He's very sycophantic, it's somewhat cringy.
He's like a British Sean Evans
This is seriously the best interview I’ve ever seen with Adam. He seemed totally at ease and intrigued by the questions. Very well done!
fr so great
So true, I just came from the Stephen Colbert interview and that one has such an awkward vibe
Best interviewer with *anyone*, you'll discover.
Yeah Ali is the best interviewer
Yeah he even went "same, same, same". :)
I really hope Adam Driver hosts SNL again soon, he always kills it.
Let's hope for 2022!
He's two more hosting gigs away from joining the famous Five Timer's Club. Let's make that a reality.
He really does!
I need another undercover boss but this time make it good like the first one
He crushes it, just like he CRUSHED HR PICKENS INTO THE GROUND
Look at him smile! Not seen him smile this much in an interview
His smile is so precious! 🖤
That's what happens when you have an interview and you actually enjoy the person you're being interviewed by
I take no pride in saying this, cos I really just wish we got good films but everything was about star wars and star wars was about nothing...
I've just had an image in my mind: Adam Driver in full armor, with Kylo Ren's helmet, a cape, a machete... and Gucci shoes 😆😆😆
It's a little thing called fashion. Look it up. 😉
@@bbcradio1 I would definitely love to see a fashion show like that! 😍
And APPARENTLY Adam is a bit of a Klepto...he's swiped stuff from film sets. I'm SURE with permission...LOL
Yolintzin, that's a wonderful image, but what background music would be playing? Star Wars theme or Saturday Night Fever haha :)
It's my pleasure and it's wonderful to hear from fans
Why nobody talk about how good Adam's meow is? That's a good, solid meow.
What i love about Ali's interviews is that he puts every guest he interviews so much at ease that they eventually end up having a good time. I mean look at Adam and his other interviews, he is definitely one of the few actors who is not easy to interview.
Adam: “If I had a nickel for every time a fan asked for a selfie in the bathroom I’d have two nickels. It’s not a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.”
Adam deserved an oscar just as much as joaquin for what he did in marriage story. one of my favorite movies of all time.
Let's hope for the 2022 Oscars! I mean, 3 movies with Adam as the lead actor have come out.
I thought Adam had it in the bag, but then Joker came out. I do think if the Joker movie had been more campy, then maybe, Adam would have had a better chance.
I watch that movie religiously.
I wish we could have just had two Best Actor winners that year because I love both of them
Seeing Adam Driver smiling and laughing so much in this interview is delightful. This is just further proof that Ali Plumb is talented at bringing people out of their shells.
this is the most chill, relax and comfortable I've seen adam.
@Rose Victoria maybe cause he's older and has mellowed out or maybe cause he's got a kid now. Either way it's dope to see him comfortable.
Only the Maui Film Festival interviews have him more relaxed with him being constantly stunned of the amzing nature. And after this one, I'd probably put the Cannes 2021 hotel room interview(s) in terms of being at ease.
I feel that having a child and spending more time with him lately is the reason Adam is so relaxed and confident in these interviews and premières!
He also said he's taking a break, so after 5 months of shooting White Noise, he is currently unemployed! He has time to relax.
@@billiey36 Thank you so much for that information. It's not like I could tell, but I got the impression (also from what he said) that he's been constantly at it. Not good for anyone and in that field of work it's almost risky to flow into different personalities constantly without much time to "act as self". Very glad he's taking a break.
Also: such a good interview. Almost too good questions, Adam was clearly more prepared for the usual hairbrained stuff from other interviewers. But, that just opened up for this wonderfully humorous back and forth. I laughed heartily on several occasions. (Pls forgive my bad spelling, I'm from Sweden and lazy: I just couldn't bother checking out one or two of the words here)
It's my pleasure and it's wonderful to hear from fans
Your spelling is perfect
This is probably the first time I've seen Adam so relaxed in this promo tour. Ali, you rock!
This is a great era for us Driver and Gaga fans!
I can say this man is probably the best interviewer I ever saw doing movie stuff. Everyone he interview is having fun, and questions are not offensive but also very personal and professional at the same time.
Ali Plumb and Graham Norton out here proving to be the best interviewer with how much Adam laughed and smiled in their interviews and seemed so comfortable.
I've watched so many Adam Driver interviews over the past few years and he seems genuinely more comfortable doing press for House of Gucci than he did for star wars but then again it could also be a matter of him growing accustomed to all of it and thanks to Ali's energy.
That and him saying how in touch he gets with a character he plays and how it changes his biology. Him playing Kylo Ren and forcing himself to become someone cold and "dead" can also have an effect on his day to day
I love that Adam is slowly crawling out of his shell. It’s nice to see him laughing and actually enjoying interviews :)
Adam Driver is brilliant. He's so effortlessly cool, Kylo Ren is awesome and he's a brilliant actor in every other role too. Nothing but admiration
He also has a great name
@@adderz8619 Yeah 😀
"the second part of this interview will be great" had me dying
Adam is the best working male actor nowadays. He really proves his abilities. His incredible film Annette doesn’t get enough recognition, though.
Annette is my current number one Adam Driver movie. 🥰
@@billiey36 Marriage Story is *incredible* as well, and House Of Gucci wouldn’t be what it is without Adam Driver. He added so much to the film. He made the perfect Maurizio.
@@billiey36 It’s my favorite one too! That film deserves multiple Oscars. I’m glad it’s not such a mainstream movie, though, because the ones who like it do really appreciate it and I love that. The soundtrack is the best!
@@imagineaworldlikethat4081 Annette will probably be the most underrated movie of the year, and also one of those movies that deserve many Oscar nominations (best soundtrack, best original song, best actor, best supporting actor, etc.) 🖤
@@emmadiamond797 Annette does deserve the most nominations for everything {acting, best soundtrack, cinematography, writing, & more}. The most original body of work to have come out in a while, when you really think about it. House Of Gucci, is based off of a real story, Dune- based off of a book. Annette was the product of so much hard work and effort and everyone in it absolutely poured out their hearts to make it.
Glad he mentioned Paterson. Such an unappreciated masterpiece!
Exactly 😍
Jim Jarmusch makes great films :)
This is now one of my favorite interviews with him! Ali kills it every single time with the questions the vibes, everything is just amazing! Adam seems so much more out of his shell
Ali perfectly managed to put Adam at ease!
It's my pleasure and it's wonderful to hear from fans
I've never seen Adam Driver being this comfortable and happy in any interview. That's all Ali Plumb's work guys.. He is hands down the best interviewer hands down!!!
Adam driver being this comfortable on an interview is so mesmerizing to watch, thank you so much Mr. Ali, time and time again you give us the best interviews ever!
It's my pleasure and it's wonderful to hear from fans
@@adamsdrive849 cap
Absolutely agree with you too... He is quite amazing!!! Lol... JAR 💟
Ive literally never seen Adam Driver this comfortable/Happy in an interview goddamn
Adam meowing and wearing a cowboy hat is what I will see when I die and go to heaven.
God he’s such a good actor. Luckily the SW trilogy backlash didn’t hurt his career, and now he’s getting to work with excellent filmmakers in brilliant movies. So deserved.
He was so good on snl! One of the best hosts they've had..
Need him again on SNL 😍
His performance in Inside Llewyn Davis was really underrated. It's hilarious that he, Justin Timberlake and Oscar Isaac sang "Please Mr Kennedy" together *"UH OH, OUTER SPACE"* 😂😂
I love that scene so much, I go back to it every few months. He has worked with so many top directors it's crazy
@Rose Victoria Yeah, I wonder how some of them came across him, must have great connections
every time ali interviews someone, the interview instantly brightens. even if they are introverts and are often uncomfortable and shy in interviews! ali is one of the best interviewers i have seen!
Ali's one of my favorite interviewers. Dude asks some of the best questions. Good to see Adam having fun.
Is it just me, or do Ben Solo and Adam Driver have so much in common? I mean, I imagine Ben Solo as a socially awkward bean, and that's exactly what Adam Driver is. I mean, imagine Ben and Adam meeting eachother, they'd just be two awkward peas in a pod!
So genuine, could listen to him for ages
*This* is why I think Ali’s such a good interviewer. He genuinely cares about the person behind the ‘star’ and having a good fun chat to get to know them better. I always enjoy watching his interviews back 👌
Genuinely one of the most brilliant interviews I've ever seen! Ali is such a fantastic interviewer. Adam is so wonderful and open and funny. Bloody loved it!
I love this. This is one of the only interview of Adam where it’s clear he doesn’t hate every moment of it.
Adam Driver is such a great actor. Admittedly discovered him through The Force Awakens and he was my standout performance for all 3 and my favourite character, so well developed (Not going down the Star Wars debate rabbithole!). Hope he returns to the franchise one day, would be amazing.
I didn't think that I needed to hear Adam Driver meowing until now. Now I wonder how I lived without it.
Ali Plumb is the best in the world at making people feel at ease in these environments. I dare anyone to find a more relaxed Adam Driver in any interview.
The one with Regal with Matthew Hoffman also looks like Adam is very happy
Adam Driver brought my favourite Star Wars character to life.
Adam Driver is incredibly well-spoken
Seems like Adam genuinely enjoyed this interview, well done Ali!
Ali this is probably my most favorite interview with Adam, EVER. Good, interesting questions and he seemed to enjoy it as well. Great work as always :)
It's my pleasure and it's wonderful to hear from fans
@@adamsdrive849 it would be cool to see you comment this in a ' Adam driver goes undercover on internet ' video.
Adam's smile, his answers, everything about him is just lovely!! He is so dedicated to his work, yet he is humble about it. He is so talented and beautiful and watching this interview-or really any interview with him in it-has completely made my day. I am so in love with him ✨🥰💖
Adam Driver IS great! He’s a brilliant actor that can do any kind of genre. He makes me laugh hysterically and feel deeply in emotional scenes - that final argument scene in Marriage Story had me tearing up. I could literally feel the heartbreak in that scene. Let me also point out that Adam’s brilliance was greatly coupled with that of Scarlet Johansson who is also as equally amazing. That was some amazing casting for sure! Superb pairing of two great actors.
There’s something about Adam that you immediately love. And the interviewer was just brilliant!
This is the most animated I've seen him on this press tour so far. Well done! 😊👍
I think this is the most equitable interview between celebrity and journalist I’ve ever seen. Ali, you’re unbeatable.
i think this is the best interview with adam driver i've ever seen- i've never seen him seem so happy and engaged in one before :) his outfit is also impeccable
I frigging adore Adam Driver, he's a consummate genius and ask around great human being 💕 delightful interview
It’s great that he doesn’t know how to answer right away, shows that the interview wasn’t scripted or that he’d know what it was beforehand Everytime i see interviews and imagine myself answering those kinds of questions im always like “how did they know that answer so quickly? I would need to recap my whole life to find the answer”
Adam is my favourite actor, and all around favourite person. Props to the interviewer for making him laugh so much
Ali is probably my favorite interviewer, he's very thoughtful about the questions he asks and how he asks them, and he gives the actor time to process and come up with an equally thoughtful answer. He doesn't go for fluff, and he actually asks questions with the _actor_ in mind instead of himself. He wants them to feel not only comfortable in the interview, but that their time is being spent well, enriched even. You are worth the time Ali, I'm not a celebrity but I'd love to sit and talk with you.
Adam driver is a breath of fresh air in Hollywood.
gosh Adam's so comfortable in this interview
Is it only me that i see how much his personality change after becoming a father?? He talks more and looks so happy during the interviews 🤗🤗🤗
I know! That is so cute 🖤
It's so nice to see Adam so relaxed in an interview. Loved seeing him laugh and tell these amazing stories of his work so far.
Ali’s ability create an atmosphere where brilliant minds feel comfortable with nerding out about the intricacy of their craft is amazing.
Even though Kylo Ren got screwed over in terms of writing in TROS Adam Driver still gave us one of the all time best performances in all of Star Wars in Force Awakens and Last Jedi.
Truth!!
TLJ too
@@ANovicePro You are talking about the writing or the performance?
What is this TROS you're talking about? I only know the Star Wars sequel duology. It's a real shame they never finished it, but at least it ended on a good note.
@@Evelina_412 completely agree. I love how it ended with Duel Of The Fates though.
I always know Ali's interviews are going to be funny and insightful. Also thank you for putting info on vids of set takes. Helps me look them up if I think they look interesting.
I bet he's the best dad to his son. Seems like a nice guy. Awesome actor.
I’ve never seen a bad interview from Ali, he treats these celebrities like people and he approaches these interviews more like conversations. And you can see it from the celebrities too, they always seem much more ease with him than some other interviewees.
Such a chill interview, this guy always kills it. Adam Driver seems very relaxed.
Ali's the best. and so is Adam
Adam Driver is one of the best actors going around at the moment!!
Best interview out of ALL the Gucci press tour, smashing !!
He seemed so comfortable and enthusiastic!!!! Thanks for the amazing interview
This is the most interested and at ease I think I have seen Adam! Great job, Ali! Great chemistry here!
Great interview! The interviewer made a good job, it's not easy to see Adam so smiley and relaxed.
Another fantastic interview from Ali. It’s great to see Adam so comfortable and relaxed.
Adam is such an amazing and genuine actor!
This is the most relaxed I've seen him. Great interview!
Watched the full interview on iplayer. 30 minutes of pure joy, Ali you are so good and was such a fun interview. 💕
Adam Driver is just a nice guy, that loves his work
Ali is such a fantastic interviewer, he always has great chemistry with the guests. Adam seemed so comfortable talking with him. Props 👏🏻👏🏻
This interview was hilarious and amazing!!!! I love how at ease Adam is here! Very well done!
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen...the interviewer is FANTASTIC and Adam is so engaged damn...more than normal
I really loved that interview! Adam Driver is awesome.
SUCH A GOOD INTERVIEW I LOVE WHEN ADAM LOOKS HAPPY
Love these interviews. Feel so chill and down to earth.
This is definitely the best interview with Adam I’ve watched
This was one of his best, more relaxed interviews! Absolutely loved it. And I wish Adam would stop thinking that’s he’a boring or monologuing. His fans love him and love what he has to say!
i always love these interviews, the celebs always seem to enjoy the questions.
That was a genuinely a fantastic interview
omg this is a fantastic interview!!
I'm so happy Paterson was mentioned. It's one of my favourite films. He is wonderful in it 😊💖
Ali, greatest interviewer of all time. Always has the best questions
Thank you for reminding me about the SNL skit "Career Day". I haven't laughed so hard in a good minute. Bless Adam's acting.
I wish this was longer. Ali just brings out the best in everyone, but Adam felt genuinely at ease.
I love this interview. The reporter did such a great job!
There are only about 4 great interviewers I have followed throughout the year, Ali from BBC, Kevin from Fox5DC , there's one from Entertainment Weekly that is surprisingly really good and doesn't ask the typical "celebrity" questions and another guy that used to do interviews for MTVpress. He was truly entertaining and like Ali and Kevin makes their guest so chill and open to answering their unique questions. One of the best Adam Driver interviews. To get Adam to relax and laugh naturally like that.. is not an easy feat. so thank you Ali for doing your research and thinking of out of the box questions for him to ponder on~!
Great interview! Adam is fabulous!
just 2 good friends talking in a room, i really really enjoyed this interview
Love Adam....and i think in this Interview He was more comftable then usual. As an introvert i feel him very honestly open 😍
awwww, look how charmed Adam is by you 🥹🥹🥹 so sweet
He's sooo comfortable here, I'm weirded out but also so happy 😊
Any Adam Driver fan should watch the show Girls that’s where his acting really took off and he’s hilarious in it 😊
He carried that show! Nice to see his career blossom
