Adam Driver on His Film 65 and Why He Moves on from Projects So Quickly

[@robertrusso877]

Adams best performance was on SNL in a skit called Career Day. He had the whole cast laughing and he never broke character. A true professional.

[@aweaver6895]

I always go back to that clip whenever I need a laugh.

[@elhoward7440]

His guest spot getting angry at John Oliver was awesome too; yes, he really can act!

[@sailordaigurren8225]

​@@elhoward7440that was amazing, for sure. There's a reason my Kylo and John Oliver funko pops are right next to each other...

[@marifazekas5650]

“You’re weak like HR Pickens” is a often quoted line in my house

[@jma331982]

“Acting is so much a service industry.” That speaks volumes about Adam Driver’s character and selflessness.

[@hijklmnop42]

Pretty remarkable to hear Adam's perspective on acting being a service, and then letting go of a sense of control over the movies he's in! That must be mentally tough to do!

[@utubefreshie]

He was in the military after all. He has a TED Talk about it. He's a real solid guy with a middle-class background from the Midwest. Love Adam Driver!

[@giancarlomainardi2883]

So well said

[@ira_1991]

It makes him come across as someone humble. Just like any skill set service oriented he does his best with acting for the cinema goers.

[@StopReadingMyNameOrElse]

​@@ira_1991 He's this generations Keanu Reeves except he can actually act

[@MegaMilenche]

Mark Hamil should've had the same attitude. Sad he didn't.

[@calikiwi]

Love his acting, watching him in “This is where we leave you” after having just seen him in Star Wars was a total head spin!

[@semievilsquirrel]

I love how he is self-aware enough to know his limits on emotionally attaching to a film. I think that takes an amazing amount of maturity.

[@MegaMilenche]

Maturity Mark Hamil lacked somehow.

[@calibby85]

Adam is one of my absolute favorite SNL Hosts

[@esoel]

Help me dig me out of this answer was very sweet. Love this guy.

[@LillPopp]

I love Adam Driver, an incredible actor! So versatile and charismatic!

[@christophersantiago6845]

Really interested to see how this ends up. It's definitely a unique choice for him. Seth is right, Driver picks his roles carefully and they're always good.

[@nathanashley623]

Might be a "one for me, one for them" scenario. A lot of actors/directors/writers will sign onto big projects for the sake of funding a production they want to make.

[@adamfattal7648]

He admitted in the interview he chose this one for his kids who don't even want to watch it lol

[@dudove1]

Movie sucked ass

[@isabeld2879]

Went and saw 65 last week and it was great! It's almost to the point where it's just exciting to see movies now that aren't remakes or biopics, though I do love a good biopic every once in a while. Adam did a phenomenal job and I feel like dinosaurs are always awesome (will just quietly ignore JWD). He clearly puts 110% into everything he works on and it really shows.

[@sirdouglas2010]

He's so cool. One of my favorite actors.

[@dugite007]

Love seth! And u can see he loves adam.. as we all do 🥰🥰

[@asiacore]

I want to see him in a romcom so bad!! 😭

[@reyandbenfan4life236]

I literally said "romcom" out loud while watching this

[@wallewallewalle]

Have you seen ‘What If’? He’s a cutie in that one

[@sandramartin2721]

Apart from Reylo, you mean😜

[@sammmiii13]

Not a romcom as such but I would say the closest thing to that tender sort of vibe would be Paterson. He’s awesome in that film.

[@dianatorralbo7690]

@@sammmiii13 The movie is about nothing but watching Adam writting poetry is very beautiful. I often think about that film

[@slypear]

So well spoken about how to deal with meeting the famous ones

[@transmascdruid77]

I really, really wish Adam would play in a psychological horror movie

[@randomoverpopulatedworldid3286]

I have no doubt this movie will be amazing. White Noise was an incredible journey that kept you on the literal edge of your seat with empathetic anxiety I haven't felt for a while within film making.

[@welldonesir3996]

No it wasn’t, it was horrible, I regret everything.

[@Atheistbatman]

Driver should play a centaur for an entire movie trilogy

[@sparkleevenmore9638]

I’d watch that

[@frazzyblue1384]

After that Burberry ad I know what you mean 😂

[@lb5368]

I would subscribe to a whole new streaming service just to see this multiple times 💸💸

[@trespiasdemaisss]

really agree with seth on the choices adam makes for movies to work on!! i really love adam as an actor because even if i dont particularly like the movie (like house of gucci) HE's always extremely interesting to watch as an actor. really looking forward to 65. great interview🌟

[@ioannadearc7901]

Adam is a great human being. The elegance of honesty needs no adornment.

[@25daysAmonth]

Great chemistry between Adam and Seth

[@TheLettybird]

Pretty safe to say that is one very excited audience. Aside from the Obamas I don’t think I have ever heard an audience go this wild for a guest.

[@reyandbenfan4life236]

A lot and I mean, A LOT of Adam fans were in the audience We are kinda insane 🤣

[@funtimeswithhanna]

It was electric

[@socorroperez366]

Shakira in Jimmy Fallon was pretty loud especially her performance

[@joycejohnson7164]

Great interview! Questions and answers superb!

[@poppyraima5342]

Not a correction for Seth specifically but it's worth pointing out (being pedantic) that the date of the dinosaur extinction has been shifted back to 66 million years ago based on new dating techniques. This update came like a decade ago, so not sure where the movie went wrong... Also, kudos to the film crew for picking places like Louisiana and Oregon's redwood forests; those are decent stand-ins for _some_ prehistoric environments that would've been around at the end of the Cretaceous and actual dinosaur documentaries have filmed in those places for their background shots. That said, dinosaurs did have _plenty_ of other habitats to choose from on Late Cretaceous Earth. It wasn't al just one type of environment across the whole planet.

[@cats10999]

Great movie! Just watched last night. The dinasaurs were done well!

[@elhoward7440]

The Redwoods are down around the Oregon-California border in the coastal mountain range.

[@casandrazavaleta6716]

Adam is talented, tall, uniquely beautiful and charismatic, many actors could be conventionally beautiful but they don't have much to offer beyond that, many envious people always disqualify another because of their appearance, but behind a successful artist there is a lot of work and sacrifice behind it.

[@Marymary-ik1bx]

Love all his work

[@Esterferreiradecastro]

A light rom com for adam next please

[@felicitousfeline9956]

Paterson-great movie of Adam’s. Would like to see him and Nic Cage in a movie together. That wanting to be home more as you get older-very common.

[@lb5368]

🙊Adam thought he spoiled the film earlier by talking about the quicksand scene, but he literally leaks a spoiler here 6:08 Oops! I still adore ya, Adam! 💗

65 Was a pretty good movie.

[@noellerose3453]

He was the best part of Girls, that show was hard to watch - bunch of privileged white girls problems- but he stood out and has been apart of well done projects ever since. Wonderful interview.

[@MegaMilenche]

He was the only reason why I was able to finish watching that show. I liked him so much, I was heartbroken when he didn't end up with Hannah because loved her, even though it was ultimately for the best.

[@Silverbirchleaf]

For a super wholesome Adam Driver movie, I recommend Patterson. For a super weird one, watch The Dead Don't Die 😆

[@marifazekas5650]

Idk, I’ve got a bad feeling about it 😂

[@lb5368]

The Dead Don't Die is hilarious if you enjoy very dry wit and self-aware acting and zombies! It's high on my list of favorite AD movies. I also adore This Is Where I Leave You

[@olivehope9047]

Adams best performance wasn’t only the SNL Career Day skit, though it is definitely a top #1 choice. He is so amazing because he does every role he is given, wether on SNL or in a movie, with his whole being. Look at him singing in the ‘Fine, I’m Sancho” scene from “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” to Star Wars To This and Girls and everything in between. Though Girls definitely was amazing that show didn’t display his full potential, and as a Star Wars fan like he is i feel terrible he had to get a character that ( well i can’t say cause spoilers but you all know that saw it ) Point is, Adam Drivers best performance is every performance that allows him to be fully him as an actor. I hope he produces and acts in his own films soon, because he’s brilliant ( and beyond sexy for his looks but even more so for his mind, wit, talent, and for him staying humble / down to earth always ) I even read this book that the author wrote and used real facts from his life in a fictional book, and it felt icky to me. Like an invasion of privacy because those are really his stories to telll and i get when you become a celebrity anything’s up for grabs, but this was a well known author and her book just left me feeling gross like she exposed his trauma in real life for a fantasy of hers. We need to respect and honor one another, not treat eachother like garbage, just saying. I doubt anyone will read this with all the comments but i just want to say lets be more like Adam and less like ( FIll in the blank with name of A*hole / B here ) Learn from this hunk, share joy, not cruelty… Or COVID hehe..
