‘Scumbag’ Chris Wallace BLASTED for telling Adam Driver ‘you don’t look like a typical movie star’ in awkward interview: ‘The audacity!’

Chris Wallace has been criticized by Adam Driver fans for telling the actor he “doesn't look like the typical movie star” in an awkward recent interview.

The 40-year-old driver was interviewed by 76-year-old Wallace in support of his new film Ferrari, but the conversation took a painful turn when the host told the Oscar nominee that he didn't “look like the typical movie star” and asked what effect that had had on his career.

One bewildered driver said in Wallace's Max series, Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?: 'I look at what I look like. I can't change that, so I think it helped me.

'The New Yorker also called me a horse face. I remember reading a reviewer [who said]“His agent probably doesn't know whether to put him in a movie or in the Kentucky Derby.”

“So if you believe the good, you must also believe the bad. I'm not trying to absorb anything.'

Fans quickly took to social media to criticize Wallace's 'audacity', with one writing: 'Adam Driver took that poor excuse of a professional interview with the class! Chris Wallace is a grown man who hated another grown man on national television.

Another typed: 'Men like Chris Wallace look like turtles and look at hotties like Adam Driver and say “why don't you look like Robert Redford” to their faces and it really shows how stupid men are. '

Another typed: 'I don't know who Chris Wallace is but it's so disrespectful to be so rude to an actor in Adam Driver's category, he is one of the most talented male actors and physically beautiful on the inside. Adam Driver and every damn person in the entire world deserves kindness and respect.

Others wrote: “This guy interviewing Adam Driver is kind of an asshole isn't he” and “Chris Wallace has the audacity to say something about Adam Driver's appearance when he looks like this, damn crazy.”

Another wrote: 'I just find it hilarious that Adam Driver has been considered a heartthrob for over a decade and clones of him now dominate the covers of novels, but Chris Wallace thinks he's ugly because he doesn't look like… ….Robert Redford.'

Last month, Driver stunned fans after saying “f*** you” to an audience member who called crash scenes in his latest film “cheesy” during a paid question and answer session.

The star hit back at suggestions that the action scenes in the film – which received negative reviews – were 'harsh and drastic'.

An irritated driver responded bluntly: 'F*** you. Don't know? Next question.'

Driver recently hit back at an attendee at the Q&A for Ferrari – his new film – who asked Driver what he thought of the 'cheesy' looking crash scenes

The star looked every bit the leading man as he attended the Ferrari premiere in London on Monday

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

The response prompted awkward laughter from the audience at the Camerimage Film Festival in Poland on Sunday.

The lead actor disappeared immediately after the interview and “ghosted” all the fans waiting for him, according to one festivalgoer who said Driver was “bored and rude.”

Ferrari will 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 star.

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