Weeks after giving a candid, headline-making response to criticism of Ferrari’s crash scenes, actor Adam Driver fielded questions from Chris Wallace on his CNN show about the fact that, according to the journalist, “you don’t look like the typical movie star.”

He started this line of questioning by noting comparisons that had been made between Driver and actors including Jack Nicholson and Al Pacino. “Those are the actors that made me want to be an actor, you know, so that’s a nice comparison,” Driver replied. But when asked whether he “accepts” the correlation, Driver replied, “Well, no,” before noting that a publication once “called me a ‘horse face’ so I don’t—I take it with a grain of salt. I remember reading one reviewer [who wrote] ‘his agent probably doesn’t know whether to put him in a movie or the Kentucky Derby.’ So I take it, you know, if you believe the good thing, then you have to believe the bad thing. So I try to not absorb anything.”

Then came Wallace’s observation that Driver doesn’t present like most movie stars, asking if that had been a “help or a hindrance” to Driver’s career. “I’ve worked consistently, which is nice, with people that I’ve wanted to always, dreamed that I wanted to work with,” Driver replied. “So in that sense, it hasn’t—I look how I look, I can’t change that. So I guess it helped me.”

Questions like these date back to at least 2015, when Driver was asked by The Guardian: “You must have been told before that you have an amazing unusual face? It’s a compliment—not being the standard Hollywood McHunk has worked in your favor.” Driver gamely responded then by saying, “I have been told before that I have an unusual face. But my face is my face. I had a whole life before acting, over the years. Lots of things have been said about my face.”

Eight years later, Driver jokingly told Wallace that his looks are “a hindrance in only breaking mirrors wherever I go and and having a misshapen outsized body that I can’t fit through doorways, or most clothes or fit into most cars, adding, “Apart from that, it’s good.”

Wallace couldn’t resist one last beat on this topic. He presented a photo of Robert Redford before Driver and asked if his profession would be easier if he looked like the Oscar winner. “It would just be different,” Driver said. “Who doesn’t want to look like Robert Redford? I’ve accepted this is how I look.”
