LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Fans of Adam Driver are furious after CNN’s talk show host Chris Wallace told him that ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ does not “look like the typical movie star,” shaming him for his unconventional leading man looks.

Nevertheless, he replied, “I look how I look. I can’t change that, so I guess it helped me.”

Continuing with the same vein of discussion, he said, “The New Yorker has also called me a horse-face.”

He recalled, “I remember reading one reviewer [who said], ‘His agent probably doesn’t know whether to put him in a movie or the Kentucky Derby.’ So if you believe the good thing, you have to believe the bad thing. I try to not absorb anything.”

The fans of the actor weren't happy with the line of discussion and slammed Wallace for his not-so-subtle question about Driver's supposed "ugliness."

Referring to the fact that he left Fox News in December 2021 after 18 years of service, the fans criticized him in strong words.
