Adam Driver received international fame after starring as Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), but even before that, he has been considered by many as an unconventional s*x symbol.
Driver has nothing to comment about being an icon of masculinity, but he does acknowledge that people had noticed his unusual face. Indeed, he challenged Hollywood’s perception of beauty and made his way to becoming a star without giving in to the pressure of looking like a typical leading man.
Journalist Swooned Over Adam Driver’s “Bigness”
Adam Driver is not one to accept projects that would require him to bare it all unless it is essential to the story. Regardless, fans have always admired the actor’s physique and overall appearance. Years of training in the military have definitely helped shape Driver’s frame.
In fact, a very popular Vogue photoshoot saw Driver posing topless with a goat draped around his shoulder. Despite him dismissing the notion of becoming a s*x symbol, fans have regularly debated and discussed his looks online.
One journalist from The Cut infamously remarked in the article How Big Is Adam Driver in Burn This?:
“He is, quite simply, enormous. I was so flustered by his quads that at one point I spilled all of the contents of my purse on the floor. There is nothing I want more in my life now than for this incomprehensibly large man to carefully make me tea.”
Another writer commented that she knew Driver was “big,” but seeing him live on stage gave her an accurate depiction of his “bigness.” The writer stated:
“I’ve been a fan of Adam Driver and his size in his various screen roles. But I truly didn’t have an accurate conception of his bigness until seeing him in person.”
Indeed, these journalists have gone wild with their reactions over seeing Driver and his smoldering body.
How Adam Driver Became Hollywood’s Unconventional Leading Man
Leading men’s roles usually exude a certain type of masculinity that is reminiscent of the likes of Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and so on. But, for Adam Driver, many would agree that he ushered in a new generation of unconventional male beauties.
In an article by Metro Models, the outlet discussed how Driver challenged and changed Hollywood’s perception of the term s*x symbol:
“Adam Driver is not, at first glance, the archetypal s*x symbol. And yet, he seems to have all the makings of one. Yes, he is not particularly beautiful. However, his exquisite acting, the depth he gives to his character, and the modernity of a man who has more than just a deliciously athletic body overturns the idea that we have of this status to make it almost more attractive.”
The same article also mentioned how Driver “offers us a new vision of the very concept of virility” that certainly makes fans swoon over because it is a new concept, a fresh sight to behold, and one that makes flaws and imperfections look irresistibly attractive.
