Adam Driver attended a Q&A for his movie Ferrari yesterday, and an audience member asked him about the cheesy crash scenes in the film. The actor responded by saying, “Fuck you! I don’t know. Next question.”
Needless to say, that response did not go over well with people and the press. And his answer went viral.
Today, on The Talk, they talked about it, and Jerry O’Connell explained why Driver was wrong to give that “harsh” answer with an example from his life recently.
“I’m married to my wife [Rebecca Romijn]…My wife’s ex-husband [John Stamos] recently wrote a biography, and it referred to my wife in a negative manner. And a lot of people have asked me about that in press, and it would be easy for me to say screw you, how dare you ask me about that, but really it would be bringing attention to a situation that I don’t want to feed into,” O’Connell said. “With my example, there’s children involved, teenage children who read everything on the internet. So you don’t want to feed that fire.”
O’Connell is not wrong because, as he stated, people are going to see Ferrari now for the cheesy crashes and laugh at them even if they are well done. Sometimes it is better to play it off as cool rather than let your true emotions show.
As for O’Connell, he is handling the Stamos situation properly because Uncle Jessie has been coming off as a dick with his memoir. So much so that I have no intention of reading it because I have already been turned off of him since the book came out, and that is just from the interviews he did about the book.
I also respect O’Connell for him putting his daughters first. My niece is their age and is also a Freshman in high school. And it is not easy. So, I think O’Connell is a caring and good father for putting their needs before his emotions. They are lucky to have him as a dad.
