One of the many perks of being one of the most lauded actors of your generation and star of a huge trilogy like the Star Wars sequels is being able to take things from the set. Indeed, any set Adam Driver works on he takes a memento – seriously, who’s going to stop him, he’s a tank!
Speaking to BBC Radio 1’s Ali Plumb, he shared: ‘I have lots of stuff. I for sure have a helmet – I have two helmets actually, a lightsaber, I have stuff from The Dead Don’t Die. Every movie I try to take [something].’
Joking about a specific purpose for one of his props, he added: ‘I wear my helmets when I drive, just to confuse people.’
From his new film with Lady Gaga, House of Gucci, the Oscar nominee also admitted to being tempted by the designer threads but then having second thoughts afterwards.
‘[I took] Gucci shoes, I didn’t take a belt.’ He added: ‘I thought I could pull them off and then when you get back to reality, you’re like, ‘Oh I’m not wearing these.’’
The 38-year-old was open with having collected ‘all sorts of stuff’ over the years.
‘I take a lot of pictures too,’ he said. ‘Sometimes I take things that are on the set, like I have a bunch of stuff from Annette, The Last Duel. I have my machete from The Dead Don’t Die that I killed zombies with. I take all sorts of stuff.’
‘Then I keep them in a room and I just pray to myself as an homage to all the things that I’ve done,’ he laughed.
