Adam Driver tells audience member 'f**k you' after question about 'cheesy' film
Adam Driver unleashed an expletive-laden tirade at an audience member who said his new movie was “cheesy”.
The 39-year-old portrays legendary motor racing driver and entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari in the upcoming biographical drama Ferrari, directed by Michael Mann. The movie, based on the 1991 biography Enzo Ferrari: The Man, the Cars, the Races, the Machine, follows the Italian magnate during the summer of 1957 as he entered his Ferrari team into an epic motor car race across Italy.
The hotly-anticipated film, which also stars Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley and Patrick Dempsey, is already being tipped to win big at next year’s Oscars, and Adam is earning rave reviews for his portrayal of the talented but tormented Ferrari legend. During a post-screening Q&A at Poland’s Camerimage Film Festival on Sunday, Adam was forced to defend his performance after being aksed an awkward question.

“What do you think about [the] crash scenes? They looked pretty harsh, drastic and, I must say, cheesy for me,” the audience member asked him. “What do you think?”
Furious, Adam simply replied: “F**k you, I don’t know? Next question.” He was at the 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.
Many have praised Adam for his response to the rude question, with director Rian Johnson, who worked with the actor on Star Wars - The Last Jedi, sharing footage of the now-viral clip and adding: “My man.”

Ask a question and be respectful. If you hated the movie shut yer cake hole,” director Phil Hawkins shared, while one simply wrote: “Normalise this response to stupid Q&A questions.”
Last month, the Star Wars actor spoke about his “terrifying” experience getting behind the wheel of a modified car to film scenes for the drama, and revealed he was in an open-wheel single seater vehicle for the fast=paced scenes with no seatbelt.
“It teleports you back to the time and you realise if you turn left or right the wrong way, then you’re dead,” he told Variety. “There’s at least seatbelts in the newer cars.”
