Adam Driverdoesn’t mind missing out on the fun after finishing a job.
Recently speaking withW Magazinefor the outlet’s Best Performances issue, the 38-year-old actor opened up about his proclivity to step out of character “immediately” after completing a movie. He revealed that he didn’t even attend the wrap party after finishingHouse of Guccibecause he couldn’t wait to stop playing the role.
Driver plays Gucci fashion house headMaurizio Gucciin the film, which hit theaters Nov. 24, and admitted he was nothing like his on-screen character.
“In some ways,House of Gucciwas the most difficult. I do not live in the same world as Maurizio Gucci. The way he picks up things that are valuable and discards them, the way he is the most elegant man — those qualities were interesting to think about,” he toldW. “But after 14 hours a day of being a Gucci, I was ready for it to be over.”
“In general, I leave jobs immediately. I haven’t been to a wrap party sinceGirls,” Driver added. “I just want to get the character out of my system and go home.”

Though Driver was personally ready to be done with the film, he showered director Ridley Scott with praise. (The two previously teamed up forThe Last Duel, released 2021.)
“I f—— love him. He uses four cameras at a minimum, and it’s like theater-in-the-round,” the actor raved in the interview. “He draws his own storyboards, and the productions move very fast. He doesn’t lose momentum over a meaningless detail.”
