Star Wars is quite big. It’s probably, if you think about it, slightly bigger than that Noah Baumbach indie flick Adam Driver popped up in just before The Force Awakens. So, you’d think that most actors who got involved in it in some way – perhaps as one of the three leads, and most prominent evildoer – would assume ahead of time that it might make it more difficult for them to pop to Argos and back without being noticed. But did Adam Driver?

“No,” he told Vulture. “I was aware that more people would see it than see most things I do, but I don’t think I could have anticipated how often I’d get recognised because it’s so different for every person. I’m very tall and I look a certain way. I can’t blend into a crowd.”

He and his enormous pecs are pretty conspicuous, to be fair. Driver also admitted being quite surprised by his reputation for seriousness and intensity on the job.

“I like to stay focused on set but it’s not because I have a process that I’m imposing on everybody else,” he said. “Sometimes you have to be more focused in between scenes because what’s happening is that, on something like Star Wars, it’s pure comedy in between takes. It’s stormtroopers running into walls because they can’t see through their helmets. So I don’t know where the intense thing came from.”

So what does the definitely not intense Adam Driver do for fun? Everyone has fun, right! “What do I do for fun?” He ums and ahhs. “I mean, I have fun. What do I do for fun though?” He thinks some more. “I have no fun.”
