Actor Adam Driver angrily responded to an audience member who criticized his new film Ferrari as “cheesy.” The 39-year-old actor stars as the iconic motor racing driver and entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari in the upcoming biographical drama Ferrari, directed by Michael Mann, according to a report by Mirror.co.uk.
The film, based on the 1991 biography Enzo Ferrari: The Man, the Cars, the Races, the Machine, depicts Ferrari during the summer of 1957 as he leads his team through a significant car race across Italy.
With a cast that includes Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, and Patrick Dempsey, Ferrari is already generating Oscar buzz, and Driver is receiving high praise for his portrayal of the complex Ferrari.

During a Q&A session after a screening at Poland’s Camerimage Film Festival, Driver faced a challenging question about his performance. An audience member asked, “What do you think about the crash scenes? They looked pretty harsh, drastic, and, I must say, cheesy to me. What do you think?”
Driver, visibly upset, responded curtly, saying, “F*** you, I don’t know? Next question.”
Driver was at the festival to receive the Special EnergaCamerimage Award for an Actor and to introduce Ferrari, one of the films competing in the festival’s Main Competition.
