Actor Adam Driver has received support on social media following an interview in which he was asked about his appearance. The discussion took place during promotion for his upcoming film "Ferrari," where Driver portrays Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the auto empire. In preparation for the role, the "Marriage Story" star had to drive an 'open-wheel single seater' vehicle.

The movie "Ferrari" is set in the summer of 1957, with Enzo Ferrari's empire facing a crisis. The film revolves around the Mille Miglia, a grueling 1,000-mile race across Italy, and explores the challenges faced by Ferrari and his drivers.

During an interview with CNN's Chris Wallace on "Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?," the conversation veered away from the film itself. Wallace pointed out that Driver doesn't fit the mold of a typical movie star and mentioned actors like Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson, who blurred the line between movie star and character actor. Driver responded graciously, stating that those actors were his inspiration.

Wallace then brought up a 2019 New Yorker article, asking Driver if he accepted the comparison. The actor highlighted that the same outlet had previously made unkind remarks about him, referring to comments such as being called a 'horse-face' and jokes about his appearance. This led to an awkward moment as Wallace asked if Driver's appearance had helped or hindered his career.

Visibly uncomfortable, Driver replied, "I look how I look. I can't change that, so I guess it helped me." In the aftermath of the interview, fans flocked to social media to defend the actor. Many pointed out that they found Driver attractive and criticized the question asked by Wallace.

The incident has sparked discussion about the pressures of appearance in the entertainment industry and the unnecessary scrutiny faced by actors. People on social media expressed admiration for Driver and rebuked the line of questioning during the interview.

As the release of "Ferrari" approaches later this month, the support for Adam Driver continues to grow. CNN has been approached for comment regarding the interview.
