Adam Driver has become an icon himself, and he’s just so darn lovely to boot. Happy to see such a humble, kind person getting the recognition that is deserved!
“I was a big fan of Star Wars and didn’t want to be bad.” I could cry. He gave us the best performance in Star Wars history. Thank God he accepted the role.
I've honestly never seen Adam in anything but SNL , but he just seems so cool. I love how much work you can see he puts into even just dumb skits on SNL... shows a lot about him.
You have to watch him in BlaKkklansman, you will be an instant fan of his acting ability, not to mention maybe the best part of the somewhat underwhelming end of Star Wars
He did lick Lena's arm. You can see the audition on youtube. I watched the entire series of girls qnd him doing that on impulse was very much in character
@@TraumaCenter13 It sounds like the ONLY plan they had was scrapped by JJ HIMSELF. What a bizarre scenario. No one can even blame TLJ for Kylo's undeserved, rushed "redemption arc".
Adam seems like a genuinely nice guy. Loved him in Star Wars, wish the movies would have actually been ABOUT Kylo. I’d bet we would have liked the original story much better than what we got. However, Adam was the best part of those three films and I will always rewatch because of him.
It was only last year the my brother and I realized we were briefly in school with Adam. We had just moved to Indiana and attended the same middle school before he went on to Mishawaka High School and I went to Adam's in South Bend. One of those site posted a "Adam Driver school photo" and it hit me. "Hey I recognize everyone else on that page" We have a vague memory of it. We were the new kids so that year we didn't really interact with a bunch.
I went back to my hometown to go to school and it made sense for me to use the mass transit system so I got to know a lot of the drivers. I gained a lot of respect for what they do and have to deal with every day besides the deft handling of an unwieldy vehicle. Everyone I got to know knew every route in town and that’s a lot of remembering lol but seriously mad respect for bus drivers.
I’m still so upset that we didn’t get to see Kylo Ren really be Ben Solo because Adam has such a devil-may-care chill to him that I really wanted to see him embody the idea of being Harrison Ford’s son
Nice guy and a really skilled actor. Not his fault the writing/direction/planning of the sequels was a complete failure, he did the best he could with what he was given.
Here's something sometimes I'm afraid to say, but, here we go, I'll spill it: I like kylo Ren more than I like Darth Vader, and Adam Driver is the one to blame!
7:31 Well, at least Adam Driver spoke to us about.... The 'RISE OF SKYWALKER' stuff that's happening with Disney on KK's power. What I can say to Disney was, "Oh, you just got owned!" In my head right now.
He sounds so down-to-earth and likeable! He's definitely talented! I really liked his performance in 'BlaKkKlansman' and 'The Report'. And he was a Marine and stays loyal to the military! Funny thing: he was born the year 'Return of the Jedi' was released.
Damn. Kylo Ren going from a whiny Vader wannabe to potentially becoming the most evil being by the end sounds like one of the biggest missed opportunities of the sequel trilogy.
Oh what could have been. And to think, we would have even got to explore and develop what the Knights of Ren actually was, instead of the crap they showed us in TROS.
I turned 50 a couple months ago and I remember the wild West days of the Internet. 20 years ago there would invariably be a chat/commenter ranting about how their life was absolutely destroyed by Hollywood major, but relatively behind the scenes Elite. I remember laughing at them with disbelief. After 20 years of observation, I'm now convinced that I was the ignorant peasant eating up all of Hollywood's falsehoods like breakfast.... If you want to go down the rabbit hole, read a book called "Weird scenes inside the Canyon" Movies, the 60s-70s L.A. music scene were both quite linked to the CIA. Nobody removes problems with extreme prejudice like the CIA....
Adam basically confirms what I figured all along. Kylo Ren was meant to be the big bad of the trilogy. He starts out as conflicted as vulnerable and, by the end, becomes a full villain. But JJ changed his mind at the last minute because a bunch of the fans and Reylo people wanted Kylo to be redeemed. Terrible decision.
@@officermurdoch4120 A character who is layered and complex and ends his arc as a villain is not “boring.” That’s more interesting than whatever we ended up getting.
Nah, Ryan Johnson changed the direction with TLJ. He even said that in the interview. I think the backlash was so bad for that movie that they completely changed his arc in Rise.
He is being a professional, he has more restraint that i would about what happened with that Trilogy. like i agreed to make THIS, then you had a complete management change and now it is this totally other thing but i did not agree to THIS thing i agreed to THAT thing. i dont even know what this mess is now.
Bro like "which Jordans? 👀" Adam's timeline does not make sense though. The episode of L&O aired in Jan 2012. So he might have purchased the 2011/2010 Jordans. This is not the "late 90s" as he mentions.
JJ really should been director for all 3. It sounds like a much better plan from the start. Not that it might not have changed but the studio got scared after the backlash from Last Jedi.
I can honestly say that I hate the sequel trilogy, and dislike the Kylo Ren character. But I think Adam Driver seems like a really lovely person, and have absolutely nothing against him.
Adam Driver has become an icon himself, and he’s just so darn lovely to boot. Happy to see such a humble, kind person getting the recognition that is deserved!
What a likable guy. Great interview that really brings out his personality.
“I had the Jordans and I was feeling confident”😂😂😂
Always nice to see a genuine, down-to-earth and non-self-absorbed actor.
The Marines will do that to a guy.
Love Adam”s humor and intelligence during the interview. Helps that Rich is so good at what he does.
Yeah Rich is an amazing interviewer
Adam is so chill.
So happy to see Adam Driver on the show!
Adam was sooo good as Kylo Ren…every time I see him or hear his voice it takes me back to Star Wars.
Adam is absolutely awesome. So happy we have had him as Kylo/Ben. Excited to see more films from him too (he was great in 65).
The films were shite
Dang, Adam is awesome. Funny, intelligent. And his life story is so diverse. In the military, Juilliard, what a story of one can do anything.
“I was a big fan of Star Wars and didn’t want to be bad.” I could cry. He gave us the best performance in Star Wars history. Thank God he accepted the role.

You have to watch him in BlaKkklansman, you will be an instant fan of his acting ability, not to mention maybe the best part of the somewhat underwhelming end of Star Wars
I also recommend watching GIRLS. Lena Dunham is understandably polarizing, but Adam does some quality dramedy on it.
Watch The Last Duel.
What a fun interview. Respect on keeping his first pair of Jordon’s after all these years. Reminder of where he came and to stay humble.
Adam was amazing in 'Blackkklansman'.
My man dodging that girls arm licking question🤣🤣🤣
He did lick Lena's arm. You can see the audition on youtube. I watched the entire series of girls qnd him doing that on impulse was very much in character
One of the best in the business. Mad respect he bought a pair of Jordans with his first paycheck.
casting this man as the main antagonist in a new era of star wars films was a genius move. it's just such a tragedy that the writing was so abysmal
IKR. This man deserved a better script
So Adam confirmed himself that Disney had no plans when making this trilogy.
@@TraumaCenter13 It sounds like the ONLY plan they had was scrapped by JJ HIMSELF. What a bizarre scenario. No one can even blame TLJ for Kylo's undeserved, rushed "redemption arc".
Making it up as they went really reflected how good the movies were haha
they wanted to make Episodes 7-9 so very badly...and they *did* make them so. very. badly. But Adam Driver is a master actor.
Adam seems like a genuinely nice guy. Loved him in Star Wars, wish the movies would have actually been ABOUT Kylo. I’d bet we would have liked the original story much better than what we got. However, Adam was the best part of those three films and I will always rewatch because of him.
Precisely! in TROS he got less than one hour screen time - and look, what he made out of it!
Just wonderful both Rich & Adam, well done !
I don’t like many celebrities. But this guys seems cool
“Richard Kimble ; and you’re kinda like the one armed man “ Rich is GOAT at this
When I first became aware of this guy, my first though was 'discount Keanu Reeves' but Adam actually has acting chops.

He's just so fun. Wish I could chill with him someday.
Would love to see you interview Daniel Day-Lewis. His Celebrity True or False would be very interesting.
Harrison Ford was so happy he finally got to kill off Han Solo lol
He's wanted Han killed off since episode 5, it was probably a top 10 life moment for him lol
But he can do 10 more movies..Star Wars jumps all over time wise. Lol
I love Paterson so underrated
me too
That’s just a beautiful story. Dude obviously knows the value of money and hard work.
"I in both played creeps. That was my niche, and still is." :DDD
5:38 Spill the tea man!!!
Love this guy. So chill.
So glad to see Veterans make it after the military in whatever field they choose, like Adam!🫡
My new favorite since Star Wars! Great Actor! Love his personality. Very private about his family ❤
I'm so glad I can hear about star wars stuff.
I’m still so upset that we didn’t get to see Kylo Ren really be Ben Solo because Adam has such a devil-may-care chill to him that I really wanted to see him embody the idea of being Harrison Ford’s son
Adam seems like a super cool dude. Great show!
I care so much more about hearing these interviews with the cast than I do actually watching any Star wars stuff.
His sense of humour sends really good vibes! He is so intelligent, humble and sexy that makes me love him soooo much!!! ❤
I loved "Patterson" - Adam was brilliant
Great guy. Just is who he is.
i love these rich clips because there's never a bad interview...

What I can say to Disney was, "Oh, you just got owned!" In my head right now.
8:29 yeah that basically tells you they should've kept on director for all of the star wars films. Always have liked Adam Driver.
Rich has no idea the firestorm this segment caused in the Star Wars fandom 💀💀
"And then I licked him." Priceless. Such a down to Earth gentleman.
That was next level wit right there.
Adam Driver is a fun guy.
He sounds so down-to-earth and likeable! He's definitely talented! I really liked his performance in 'BlaKkKlansman' and 'The Report'. And he was a Marine and stays loyal to the military! Funny thing: he was born the year 'Return of the Jedi' was released.
Adam would make a great james bond. As a brit i would be happy if it went to him. Although I haven't managed to convince anyone so far.
Adam Driver must do a run on the Fargo tv show. I need to see him do an absurd midwesterner.
What a cool dude; especially like & respect the fact he's a Veteran like some of the old school actors 🤙
Damn. Kylo Ren going from a whiny Vader wannabe to potentially becoming the most evil being by the end sounds like one of the biggest missed opportunities of the sequel trilogy.
Oh what could have been. And to think, we would have even got to explore and develop what the Knights of Ren actually was, instead of the crap they showed us in TROS.
would have at least been a good movie lol
what are those Jordans hes wearing? That black on black solid white sole is sharp
Funny that the picture used for Kylo is actually an action figure and not a movie still.
Very cool guy
I went to Ferrari driving schoool to get my CDL!

When Adam speaks I hear Ray Romano.
I did this exact same thing. When I could afford it, I got Jordan’s and never took them out of the box
From what very little I am let to know about Lena, she loved it.
I want a remake of Monty Python”s The Holy Grail with Adam Driver as King Arthur and the rest of the cast as muppets.
That's brutal, because Reggie was a beast 🏀 In the 90's, Pacers was the team to watch, bruh ⛹️♂️
I don't blame him. I would also rather have Air Jordans than Air Reggies, too.
Mishawaka is right next to South Bend.
I’m from Mishawaka and I too hold Jordan in high regard as well as being too poor to afford them, bought them as soon as I joined the military.
8:00 if Han and Leia’s son had never been redeemed I would have been devastated
Two dynamite call back jokes with having the Jordans and licking Han Solo. Really enjoyed this interview!
"And then I licked Him" 😅 Perfect Comedic Timing!
He did get Hayden Christiansed didn't He?
Respect 🫡

Nope. There is nothing more boring than a villain that is nothing more than pure evil. We got something much better than that!

@@devonbair2357 Did you even listen to Adam Driver speak at all?
I think it would have been cool if Rey was more confused and tempted, even more than in the films, to join the dark side with Kylo.
Respect jarhead!
Ryan took it in a different direction alright
They did not want the script for Star Wars to get out because they would realize that it is basically the 1st movie again
I wish they didn't change Kylo's arc. I would very much like to see Kylo Ren as the baddest dark side user.
He seems like a cool guy.
Kylo Ren as undercoverboss is the best .
Once anyone meets Daisy Ridley they will find the force of her is way more powerful than any darkside.
WHERE IS THE MATT ARAIZA APOLOGY???
My son was Kylo Ren for Halloween... Got me worried. 😬
i haven't had my bagel yet matt!..
If Adam driver was a true Star wars fan he would have been appalled at what they did to the movie and to his character
Americas answer to Allan Rickman
He is being a professional, he has more restraint that i would about what happened with that Trilogy. like i agreed to make THIS, then you had a complete management change and now it is this totally other thing but i did not agree to THIS thing i agreed to THAT thing. i dont even know what this mess is now.
Bro like "which Jordans? 👀"
Adam's timeline does not make sense though.
The episode of L&O aired in Jan 2012.
So he might have purchased the 2011/2010 Jordans.
This is not the "late 90s" as he mentions.
Like I'm supposed to remember everyone I've ever licked in an audition.
Kylo Ren is his character at Star Wars
After the rain, comes the rainbow. (I'm sorry I killed your son). SNL Gold.
Bobby Moynihan's stormtrooper was hilarious in that, too
JJ really should been director for all 3. It sounds like a much better plan from the start. Not that it might not have changed but the studio got scared after the backlash from Last Jedi.
It’s JJ Abrams
adam driver is Kylo Ren really in Star Wars he’s the actor and 65 he’s an actor
I can honestly say that I hate the sequel trilogy, and dislike the Kylo Ren character. But I think Adam Driver seems like a really lovely person, and have absolutely nothing against him.
Next time... ask Adam why he never breaks in snl
hans down the best part of the new trilogy is him
If the script got out on the *BLOCKBUSTERS* of today, you'd have a negative box office. People would be demanding their money back before they paid.
He looks much better with a beard.
Wow…That makes sooo much sense with the character demeanor throughout the trilogy. They really did Adam a huge disservice smh
Lies. Dude only had Jordans for the reason we all had them. It was great style
And someone got mad is Leia the princess
