I keep forgetting that Adam Driver is in Martin Scorsese’s Silence. That’s why Driver covers the new issue of Interview Mag, he’s promoting Scorsese’s Jesuit-priest passion project, which also stars Andrew Garfield and Liam Neeson. The trailer came out last week and I honestly couldn’t even work up the energy to watch it at the time. So let’s watch it together? Here goes.
Okay, so there you go. I’m sure people will “love” the film the same way they “loved” that DiCaprio bear-rape movie, which is to say that Silence will be called “important” and a “tour de force” and everyone who sees it will be really depressed but they’ll say that they like it and it deserves all the Oscars.
Anyway, back to Adam Driver and this Interview Mag cover story. I love the photos, but I love any photoshoot with a bathtub theme. The actual interview was conducted by Driver’s friend Noah Baumbach and quite honestly, half of the interview is just two friends talking endlessly about how they know each other and that party they once went too and it’s SO boring. Driver comes across as very Actor-y and slightly neurotic, but decent too. You can read the full piece here. Here’s the only interesting part:
DRIVER: I’m looking out my window … They’re always doing stuff for the holidays—Halloween’s a big one. Do they trick-or-treat in your building? One year, Joanne [Tucker, Driver’s wife] and I bought $100 worth of mini candies, thinking that all the kids in the neighborhood were going to come by—not thinking, obviously, that no one’s going to let f–king strangers up into our building. For some reason, we didn’t put that together. We had, like, four kids come by. [both laugh] This one princess took all the candies we had hand over fist. I actually f–king hate Halloween.
BAUMBACH: It must be cool to see all these kids dressed as Kylo Ren on Halloween.
DRIVER: Yeah. I was dropping my wife off outside our building and I saw this mom holding a lightsaber—like, my lightsaber—and scarily accurate. Like, life-size. And she was handling it like she’s handled it a million times. She was juggling four kids who were all running in different directions, and she had three different bags and this lightsaber. Suddenly, the things that are great about this job came into full focus.
I imagine that’s one of the coolest parts of being cast in a film or franchise with costumes and stuff, whether it’s a comic-book movie or the Star Wars franchise or whatever. It must be such a trip to see kids dressed up in your costume, or playing with your lightsaber. Anyway… Adam Driver is so jolie-laide. There are moments when I think he’s the sexiest thing ever and other times when I’m like “NOPE.” These photos are hot though.

UUNNGGHHHHRRRGGHHHHHHH
You took the guttural exertion right out of my mouth/groin. HOT. And in my experience, creative guys with big noses know what they are doing when they go downtown, if you know what I mean.
Yes! More Adam
Ick. Not hot (to me)
I usually find him hot, but not in these pictures.
Anyway, his interviews are usually interesting and he comes across well. Something about his backstory and outlook on life gives him more substance than average actors his age, like Cumberbatch or Hardy, etc. have.
It’s because it seems like he has seen some hardship in life, unlike those two. And he seems grateful, unlike those two. Especially Hardy, who is a colossal brat.
Um, yup. Hot.
Yeah…. I find him weirdly sexy.
same here Full Ugly -Hot
ME TOO. Always. I watched Girls for him. He’s electric!
He is so fugly! He’s the US version of Benedict Cumberbatch, but unlike the latter he oozes charisma. Especially in This Is Where I Leave You, he was fabulous. I cannot unsee Gizmo after seeing this meme.

Always, always hot to me.
He is jolie laide and has a certain je nais se quoi. In other words he could definitely get it!
Not. The trailer does not entice me to see the movie. It makes me think there will be two hours of Andrew Garfield reciting his lines like he’s in a high-school production of the Crucible.
LOL Andrew and Adam are both doing some….interesting accent work. I never though Andrew was a strong actor, only thing I liked him in was Never Let Me Go.
Aww I forgot about that movie. And now I’m crying.
Andrew Garfield looks uncannily like my little cousin who has an unfortunate bedwetting problem. Can’t unsee it.
Not hot (his teeth bother me) but nothing against the guy. He’s doing some interesting work.
Oh yes – I have always found him sexy. He’s intelligent and thoughtful, a dangerous combination for me. As someone up thread says he’s everything Cumberbatch etc.. are not but tries to hard to be.
kylo ren is such a bratty little bitch though. He throws such annoying temper tantrums. Darth was ultimately turned into a bratty little bitch too, but only because the prequels were awful
And you know what the worst part is? I genuinely think that’s why so many people find him “hot”. People are conflating him with his TFA character. For reasons that have never been clear to me, “bratty little bitch” reads as “sexy, tortured brooding romantic hero” to a lot of people.
Yep. I’m here for it.
Yes, yes. Definitely.
I feel like I should theorically find him hot, because he kinda looks like my bf, but… No. Not one bit. I guess I just hate him by association since he was in that god awful Lena Dunham show.
A critic on Twitter watched the movie – “I expect to be the lonely one here siding with the Japanese against the Jesuits and yet another white male journey of discovery” – JenYamato
The trailer gives that vibe …
I’ll pass on this movie but I’m sure most male crititcs will hype it hard like they did the boring as hell Dicaprio movie.
It’s funny how Boy Celebrity fashion/photo spreads come in three varieties: Abandoned Roadside Diner (complete with convertible and/or motorcycle) Staring Into Middle Distance in Dumb Clothes (Industrial Building Roof or Hollywood Hills variations) or Soaking Wet (Beach or Bathtub, Glamour or Bathtub, Grimy variations). Bonus points for Black & White Artistic Seriousness.
Word! If I could upvote this comment I would! ^__^
YAAAAS, especially his voice 😜
I really don’t understand my attraction to him, but yeah, he’s hot.
he seems kind of neurotic but i think he’s hot af… im not at all interested in the Silence movie though, it has a definite ‘white people go educate the ignorant locals’ vibe
HOT.
I don’t care for him or his work. I won’t NOT watch something because he’s in it, but I won’t watch something just because he is.
I can’t believe I think he’s hot but yes. Totally. When Girls started I found him to be unattractiv but now I’m ready to jump in that bathtub!
I kinda think ppl think he’s hot bc of his profession. If dude was working at Macy’s ppl wouldnt call him hot.
I think he’s hotter without the mustache — oh god how I did not expect to get turned on by a whiny Star Wars villian.
Hot all night
When he’s hot, he’s hot AF. Sometimes he looks funny, but he’s always interesting. And I disagree with the “he wouldn’t be hot if he worked at Macy’s” comment upthread. I think Driver has an unusual face and there’s something about his gaze, something intense and feral and also vulnerable that makes him very alluring, captivating even. I don’t think he would go unnoticed anywhere.
Agree 100% lee.
He’s a giant big tall man with an incredible physical presence. Add to that his beautifully unique face and voice. Add to that he’s a former Marine. He can get it any damn day.
