♪ ♪ ♪ >> WHO IS MAKING THIS STUFF?
WHO IS ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN?
>> THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD.
I'D BUY THEM.
.>> DON'T BE SUCH A CRETIN.
>> DON'T CALL ME A CRETIN, SWEETIE.
>> THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID.
I ASKED YOU NOT TO BE ONE.
THIS IS SERIOUS, AND YOU'RE LAUGHING IT OFF.
>> AT LEAST IT'S MY NAME ON THE MUGS, NOT YOURS.
>> OUR NAME.
SWEETIE.
ON JUNK.
( APPLAUSE )
TO "THE LATE SHOW," ADAM DRIVER!
♪ ♪ ♪
>> 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
( APPLAUSE )
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.
