Adam Driver's response to a Ferrari viewer's criticism of the film's crash scenes was a firm and blunt "fck you." Hollywood has explored various aspects of racing films, ranging from intense high-stakes muscle car plots to animated tales centered around racing cars.
Adam Driver's new movie, Ferrari, is poised to revolutionize the genre by showcasing the journey of the luxury car brand's founder as he competes in the 1957 Mille Miglia race to rescue his company. Given its intense racing sequences and numerous crash scenes, Driver was recently asked by a film festival attendee about his thoughts on these extravagant moments. The actor's response was both comical and authentically genuine.
Driver claps back at viewer criticizing Ferrari crash scenes
Ferrari was recently screened at Poland’s Camerimage Film Festival and was followed by a Q&A with Driver, who also acted as an executive producer on the movie.
During the Q&A session, a festival attendee approached the microphone and inquired about Driver's opinion on the movie's extensive crash scenes.
"What are your thoughts on the crash scenes?" the audience member asked. "They seemed quite intense, overdone, and, honestly, a bit cheesy in my opinion. I'm curious to hear your perspective on this."
Driver was extremely quick to answer the question in a very on brand blunt way, “Fuck you, I don’t know. Next question.”
During the nearly 11-hour duration of the Mille Miglia race, which took place on public roads spanning a total of 992.332 miles in Italy, multiple crashes occurred. Notably, Formula One driver Jean Behra experienced a crash with his 450S Maserati during the pre-test. Additionally, within the first 40 miles of the race, racer Alfonso de Portago lost control of his car after the front tire exploded, resulting in him colliding with a telephone pole, leaping over a brook, and striking several spectators.
Unfortunately, de Portago, his American navigator Edmund Gunner Nelson, and 10 bystanders tragically lost their lives during the race.
