00:00The actor had the difficult task of keeping everything surrounding this seventh Star Wars installment a secret.
00:13He even took the opportunity to not reveal to his wife the character he played in the film,
00:17so that she can enjoy discovering it on screen.
00:20Because we must be aware that the production of this film is done with astonishing secrecy,
00:25especially in the age of the internet.
00:27The fans were not supposed to know anything and that is what will create an even bigger craze.
00:32At the end of 2015, the Star Wars hype was at its peak with the announcement of this new trilogy.
00:36The universe created by George Lucas and bought by Disney is on everyone's lips.
00:40I remember seeing the film the night it came out, with a huge queue to get into the theatre.
00:45That's when I met Adam Driver.
00:48The problem is that his first real appearance in the eyes of the general public,
00:52the moment he takes off his helmet,
00:53is done through a slightly mocking laugh that will cross the room at that moment.
00:58Logical, you might say.
00:59We discover the character of Kylo Ren,
01:01big, muscular, badass helmet, undeniable power.
01:04Then he takes off his helmet and we come face to face with this broken face of a kid
01:08whose real name is Ben Solo,
01:10who doesn't really know what he's doing there,
01:12lost in a family inheritance far too large for him.
01:15This is where all the complexity of this character lies.
01:17And that's why choosing Adam Driver to play him is more than logical.
01:22Adam Driver naturally exudes this melancholy in his gaze,
01:25this kind of natural sadness.
01:27His face is a face that has suffered, you can feel it.
01:30So he's perfect for this tortured role.
01:33And even if this trilogy is more than questionable,
01:36At least it has the strength to have been able to develop a striking and brilliantly interpreted antagonist.
01:41Some viewers said Driver had no charisma in The Force Awakens.
01:45And yet these same spectators added a few years later
01:49that he was what saved the day in The Rise of Skywalker.
01:52Adam Driver is the discovery of this trilogy.
01:55Probably the only positive point of the latter.
01:58And thanks to this role and this episode 7,
02:00which alone will bring in more than 2 billion dollars at the global box office,
02:04his fame has reached all borders.
