Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker star, Adam Driver, stormed out of an interview on NPR's talk show Fresh Air with Terry Gross after they played a clip from Marriage Story.
He was not having it ...
"We don't really understand why he left," Danny Miller, the executive producer of the show said.
"Terry thinks he's a terrific actor, he was a great guest when he was on ["Fresh Air"] in 2015 — so we were disappointed that we didn't have a new interview to share with our listeners about 'Marriage Story.'"
And so, the crew made sure to offer an accommodating alternative to Adam in an effort not to offend him.
Back in 2015, Adam made it clear that he is not a fan of listening to his own voice or watching his own movies.
"And then wish I could change it, but you can't."
"Or drive myself and the other people around me crazy with the things I wanted to change or I wish I could change."
He explained that during a screening of Spike Lee's Blackkklansman, he hid in the greenroom.
Evidently, Adam is genuinely particular about avoiding these sorts of situations.
This way, the listeners aren't deprived of the full listening experience and Adam isn't majorly inconvenienced.
A win-win.
"And that our engineer in New York would cue him to put his headphones back on after the clip ended. We also did this during our 2015 interview."
By the time the 20-second clip subsided, Adam had up and left without saying a word.
The crew is still not totally sure what triggered Adam to walk out.
If you ask me, walking out in the middle of an interview is something every celeb should try out at least once. I'm sure it's exhilarating!
Although, it isn't exactly considerate to the "Fresh Air" team and listeners that he left hanging.
Was this the ultimate celebrity diva moment?
Or should the producers at Fresh Air have respected Adam's initial requests not to play clips from his movies?
