• The driver’s response shocked the audience at the Camerimage Film Festival in Poland with his strange response and one attendee described him as “bored and rude”.
• Ferrari is set to open on Christmas Day and Driver, 39, will star in the Michael Mann-directed biopic.

Adam Driver has said “f*** you” to a fan who bravely called the A-list actor’s new film “pure” in a Q&A about the film made in Poland.

The Oscar-nominated actor, 39, hit back at an attendee at a Q&A about Ferrari – his new film – who asked Driver what he thought of the crash scenes which looked like a “clean” look.

An exasperated driver boldly replied: “In ***. I do not know? Next question,” which was met with awkward laughter and shock from the audience.

The Q&A for the upcoming action film – directed by four-time Oscar nominee Michael Mann, 80 – took place at the Camerimage Film Festival in Poland on Sunday.

The star disappeared immediately after the interview and “fancied” all the fans who were waiting for him, according to one festival attendee who said Driver was “bored and rude”.

The viral video captured the moment the bold audience member said ‘What are you thinking [the] conflict scenes? They seemed quite harsh, drastic and, I must say, unpleasant for me. What do you think?’

Driver – who has been nominated for four Emmys and two Academy Awards – clearly had no interest in answering the stinging question as he took a long swig of his water before delivering his harsh response.

In addition to Driver playing the title role, the star-studded cast includes Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Gabriel Leone and Sarah Gadon.

The driver couldn’t contain his emotions in August as the Ferrari received a seven minute and 30 second standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival – where he was promoting the biopic.

The Venice Film Festival is boycotted by many stars during the SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Ferrari’s actors (and writers) could attend without breaking strikes because the film was exempt, being made by an independent, Neon, not a studio.

The A-list and veteran US actor spoke to Variety at the New York Film Festival about a particularly “terrifying” scene he had to shoot for his recent film, in which he plays legendary sports car entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari.

During one moment in the film, he had to drive a vintage “open-wheel single-seater” sports car that had been modified to attach a camera to it.

“It teleports you back in time and you realize that if you turn left or right the wrong way, then you’re dead,” the Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker star explained.

He added “At least there are seat belts in the newer cars.”

Further emphasizing how dangerous the car felt, the 65 movie star added that driving it felt like being in a ‘moving coffin’.

The driver and Mann clarified during a press conference at the festival that the reason drivers were not wearing seat belts at the time was because[ting] thrown from the car’, was deemed ‘safer’ than being dragged into the aforementioned ‘moving coffin’.

Mann added a little more context to the thought process of no seat belts back in the day, adding “The idea was that you’d rather be thrown out of the car than dragged by the car.”

The iconic director is famous for his crime dramas – including Miami Vice, Heat and The Last of the Mohicans – has been nominated for four Academy Awards, but is yet to take the trophy home.

The film follows Enzo’s life in 1957 as he prepares his company to enter the famous Mille Miglia, a 1,000-mile motorsport race held on the open road.

The Emmy-winning director had the cast sign up for ‘race drive 101’, where they test drove modern Ferraris before filming began.

He explained that “I wanted everyone to have an experience of driving these cars on a track”, for an extra level of authenticity when they started production.

Ferrari is set to hit the big screen on Christmas Day.

The highly-anticipated film had a budget of $110 million and began production in April 2022 after multiple decision changes over who would play the lead role.

Christian Bale was originally set to play Ferrari, then Hugh Jackman – but Adam Driver was eventually confirmed for the role.
