( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )</i> >> Stephen: WELCOME BACK. >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU. >> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. >> Stephen: FIRST OF ALL,
THANK YOU FOR DRESSING APPROPRIATELY AUTUMNAL. I LIKE IT. >> THANK YOU. >> Stephen: IT'S SEASONALLY
APPROPRIATE. IT'S VERY P PROFESSORIAL AT THE
SAME TIME. >> I FEEL IT. >> Stephen: IN THE NEW FILM,
"HOUSE OF GUCCI," YOU ARE THE PRIME GUCCI. YOU ARE MAURIZIO GUCCI. >> I THINK SO. >> AND LADY GAGA, PLAYS YOUR
WIFE WHO IS PATRIZIA REGGIANI, RIGHT? WHO-- SPOILER, IT'S NOT A
SPOILER, EVERYBODY KNOWS-- PLOTS YOUR MURDER. >> SURE. >> Stephen: I'M NOT GIVING
ANYTHING WAY, AM I? >> NO IN LIFE AND THE MOVIE. >> Stephen: HERE'S A PIC OF
THE TWO OF YOU ON SET. THIS MADE THE ROUNDS LAST YEAR. IT GOT PEOPLE VERY EXCITED ABOUT
THIS FILM. THERE YOU ARE IN ST. MORITZ OR
SOMETHING. WHERE ARE YOU DOING THIS FAMOUS
THING? >> ST. MORIT. WE'RE IN ITALY. YEAH. >> Stephen: SO MY QUESTION IS,
IS IT FUN TO PLAY RICH PEOPLE? LIKE, ARE THE CONDITIONS FOR
SHOOTING NICER IF YOU'RE PLAYING A RICH PERSON, AS OPPOSED TO,
SAY, AN AVERAGE JOE? >> OH, YEAH. YEAH, IT'S WAY BETTER. >> Stephen: YEAH. YOU RECOMMEND IT. >> WELL, IN THE SHOOTING, THE
CLOTHES ARE NICER, THEY FEEL BETTER. BUT THE CONDITIONS ARE PRETTY
MUCH NOT AS GLAMOROUS AS THAT PICTURE IS. IT'S-- IT'S OKAY-- YEAH, IT IS. BECAUSE THEN PEOPLE COME AND
THEY BRING LAMBORGHINIS FOR YOU TO DRIVE. AS OPPOSED TO, I DON'T KNOW,
WHAT THE OTHER MOVIES WERE. THEY'RE NOT LAMBORGHINIS. WHETHER THEY'RE PINTOS OR --
>> Stephen: THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING BETWEEN A LAMBORGHINI
AND A PINTO. THIS IS YOUR SECOND FILM IN THE
LAST-- COMING UP THIS YEAR THAT YOU SHOT WITH RIDLEY SCOTT. I'M CURIOUS, WHAT IS HE LIKE AS
A DIRECTOR? YOU'VE SEEN HIM IN TOTALLY
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. THERE'S NO RELATIONSHIP IN
STORY, CONTENT, ARC, ANYTHING BETWEEN THE DUEL-- IT'S CALLED
"THE LAST DUAL." WHICH THE "HOUSE OF GUCCI." WHAT'S THE COMMONALITY BETWEEN
THE WAY HE DIRECTS? >> HE HAS A VERY SPECIFIC
PROCESS WHERE HE REALLY BELIEVES IN MOMENTUM. AND MORAL IS A HUGE THING. AND HE TRUSTS YOU, WHICH YOU
EXPECT HIM TO KIND OF COME ON WITH HIS RESUME AND BE LIKE A--
YOU KNOW, "I SHOT 'BLEAD RUNNER" AND 'ALIEN." IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING
HE'LL ADAPT. HE'LL PIVOT IN A MOMENT. .>> Stephen: DOES HE GIVE YOU
NOTES, AND SAY, THAT'S GOOD. >> EVEN HIS NOTES ARE VERY
SUCCINCT. HE DOESN'T WASTE TIME. >> Stephen: "LAST DUEL" WAS
SHOT IN THE COUNTRYSIDE OF FRANCE AND THIS WAS SHOT IN
ITALY. ARE YOU CHOOSING PROJECTS JUST
BASED UPON HOW GOOD THE FOOLED IS WHERE YOU GO? >> COMPLETELY. >> Stephen: AND IF SO, AND YOU
HAD TO CHOOSE-- AND YOU MUST CHOOSE BECAUSE IT'S MY SHOW--
FRENCH FOOD OR ITALIAN FOOD? >> OH, MY GOD. >> Stephen: NO, YOU HAVE TO
ANSWER. YOU'RE SWORN IN. WE SWORE HIM IN BACK STAGE. WE SWEAR IN ALL OF OUR GUESTS. >> I WOULD HAVE TO SAY ITALIAN
FOOD <i> ( APPLAUSE )</i>
THANK GOD THAT WAS THE RIGHT ANSWER. DURING THE WEEKENDS, I WOULD
TAKE SOME TRIPS TO TUSCANY AND EAT THERE AS MUCH AS I COULD AND
IT WAS PRETTY INCREDIBLE. >> Stephen: ARE YOU THE KIND
OF PERSON WHO CAN EAT AND NOT GAIN WAIT? AND KEEP IN MIND IF YOU SAY YES,
EVERYONE HATES YOU. >> NO. >> Stephen: REALLY. >> SHOCK WILL, NO. >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICK BREAK. STICK AROUND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
WITH MORE MR. ADAM DRIVER, EVERYBODY. <i> ( APPLAUSE )</i>
Getting serious Larry David "Curb Your Enthusiasm" vibes from that outfit.
The image of Adam in Tuscany enjoying local food is so sweet, it makes me feel like we have something in common (part of my family is from there, so I can totally understand his appreciation).
I would probably choose Italian food as well.
